    :shock:

    Surely the mods would unleash an instant ban if such a thing occured!

    Heh heh, very nice though, tempted to convert my 1986 Muddy Fox Courier to single speed when the 23 year old running gear dies...

    Do I get a badge then? :D ( I even moved the tyres on the rims to put the logos opposite the valves!)

    Is it my eyes, or does your seat point down, Markos?

    a while ago i posted pics of my budget build flat barred cross/roadbike, well i got myself some sora levers off JAYKAYEM on here and have stuck them on as well as trying out cantis for the first time and here it is!

    DSCF0081.jpg

    im waiting for some shimano r550 cantis that ive just won on ebay for £4.20 new but for now the acors will suffice. chainset and front mech will be the next and last upgrade but for now im more than happy with it.
    who cares?

    Very nice, I like the colour combinations. Personally would prefer a flatter stem.

    unfortunately at my age comfort is more important :wink: plus it will be getting its fair share of off road miles.

    NapD, you're taking the p155 right? For the standards you set and in this OCP that breaks lots of the rules...

    Apologies for the black section on the lower part of the wall of the house but it just looked wrong all in County Cream.

    Just finished my winter bike today! Specialized Allez Comp

    Here's an old photo I found of my Time VXRS, poor photo – doesn’t do the bike justice at all. Now has black Time RXS carbon pedals and has actually been cleaned :P

    My Focus Cayo. The original white bar tape had to go, as did the crappy white saddle it came with and it's on the waiting list for a wheel transplant. Ideally the paintwork should be all black (because it's slimming) but I reckon it's just the right side of being bloody horrible to look at.

    Next time I get a p******* I'll make sure the wheel/logo/valve placement is identical on both wheels.

  • very nice! I need to buy a new set of tyres soon. Will probably get they lovely Vittoria ones, with winter approaching and all. :D Plus, they looks so sexy!

    *Note to self: Get a photo and stick it on here at some point.*
  • It took me a while to get used to the Pave green, but they are great tyres. Although if green’s not your thing...

    Yes, I have had a quiet afternoon.

    Tommy1234 - I'm not 100% sure, it's his own ride, amongst others.

    It does like pretty cool in the flesh and he has now stuck a pair of Fast Forward 50/90 carbon rims on there as well with black spokes and custom decals in the same colour as the frame, now that does look sweet.

    When I pop in this weekend I'll ask him and see what he says, are you after one?
