Last night I found my self in London for the first of many Christmas parties I have been invited to.

Every time I a SS went passed me I felt myself perving over it in a way I can only compare to kids in sweet shop.

Does anybody else themselves doing this or am I the only one out there that does this.
The doctor said I needed to start drinking more whiskey. Also, I’m calling myself ‘the doctor’ now

    I miss my Track bike. :cry:

    There's loads of FG riders on here, it make me feel that I wish I hadn't sold it. :cry:

    Not over SS in particular, but there's something gazeworthy about the curved lines of the '09 Specializeds and Bianchis :) I've saved the pictures off the websites but I've yet to make them my desktop background :lol:
    Today is a good day to ride

    I've just pulled the trigger on a pair of these for the Pearson, so I can perve on my own bike!

    No, you're not the only one. It doesn't have to be a SS either, but the more 'bkie porn' it is , the better.

    One time I met Ravenbait, once of this parish, and was eyeing up her bike (SS as it happens) and didn't actually realise that there was anyone there until she spoke. :oops:

    It's the cycling equivalent of 2 dogs meeting and sniffing each other's bums! :lol:

    It's nothing to be ashamed of. (Eyeing up the bikes I mean)

    Yep perfectly normal although I don't think it's quite evolved to the motorbike equivalent yet, i'm still amazed every time I pass a group of bikers in a layby eyeing up each others equipment :shock: :shock: :lol:

    why drive out to the countryside to then park up in a car park a look at each others bikes, I don't get it.

    Surely you mean 'bike pron'?

    Yes, I am in a strange, pedantic mood this morning.

    You're, of course, right. I'm a fumble fingered idiot this morning. :(

    I know what you mean, I was in my proverbial heaven at the London Freewheel. Thankfully I managed to tune out the 90% of the bikes that where Halfords/Toys R Us specials and pick out the real stunners!

    Some of the best included:

    2 Pinarello's - There beauty somewhat put into the shade tho by the young ladies who owned them :shock:

    A guy on a very nice and massively geared FG, full carbon frame in a rather nice shape.

    A Felt TT bike!

    Numerous Bianchi's, the only brand I didn't manage to spot was Willier!

    Oh yeah and I also spotted Biondino on his lovely Focus :wink:

    SFW, but you might get some odd looks if you start staring at them too long!

    I was in Cycle Surgery pumping up my back tyre which seems to have the slowest of slow punctures - anyway some gnarly courier type dude complemented me on my bike, in particular the frame, he was really sincere and I was very pleased. Thankyou Sir!
