Is this actually your ride?

It looks nice and terrrible at the same time.

I don't like brown bikes!!

Not to my taste, I'm afraid. Reminds me of the Austin Allegro. In Doube de-clutch Brown of course.

No its not my ride - I don't honestly think I would buy it even if I could afford it. I stumbled across it searching on the internet - the frame & forks is 5k hence needing a lottery win to purchase it.

I love the Allegro comment though...class

rake

yes its the colour that doesnt inspire me. an interesting little fact the allegro was far superior to the ford escort on reliability back then. they looked good at the side of the road.

How about this one in steel... 8)



I can't imagine you pulled many birds in a brown Allegro though....

Now that second bike is a lot nicer, in my opinion.

Allegros are more aerodynamic travelling backwards.

My dad had an allegro when I was about 7 (It was also brown). It had a square steering wheel.

my dad too, his was orange.i remember the square wheel. we used to get 2nd degree burns on the seats in summer whilst wearing shorts.

Hmmm, i think the brown frame is beautiful. It's the Stem, Saddle and Tape that looks a bit rubbish IMO.

Looking at the Passoni range, that 'Lightsteel' model is by far and away the most ugly one.

The XXTi and Mirror are bloody nice!

dunno if its just me, but all these bikes just look like basic frames with a set of shithot wheels to make them look good :?

leeroy72

Well I like them because they are not run of the mill - they are certainly not mass produced which I think should be embraced as it may well be a thing of the past soon...

Just my opinion though.....

Looks like its been made out of jobbies!

Put a set of Aksiums on and they'd look pretty ordinary.

I asked the same thing, considering he didn't even post a picture of the real bike.

He said their not, he just wants them.

Why he posted in the "Your Rides" section is beyond me, however.

So is there a need for a new thread snappily entitled "Your bikes if you could afford them, won the lottery or received some inheritance money"

leeroy72

OK so I posted in the wrong thread - get over it!
