Nice one Timmy , nice to see something different. Think you should have taken more pictures in isolation, no need for the scooter and " recumbent/trade bike" we get the point.
Lovely attention to detail there. especially the striping/inlaying of carbon fibre and other black parts with the orange.
Personal opinion, don't think the Onda/Chinarello forks work would look better with the OCR/TCR/DEFY straight blades, their interface with the hub/axle just doesnt look right to me.
Still Well done nice to see someone trying to achieve something unique, and 10/10 for that.0 -

i agree, but the steel ones in earlier photos weighed 3Lb's !!! and £200 plus for carbon ones , and finding them with over 240mm was hard , so £45 to Bejing for these 340gram jobbies was the option within budget . cheers (-:Britannia waives the rules0 -
Orange is my fave colour. Good job! [big_thumps_up_smiley].
Is that electric orange (Focus ST)?“Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”0 -
@Jordan , yes mate , its focus st with purple metal flake in the top coat . Which you only really see in the sun . CheersBritannia waives the rules0

so wrong its right"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Love it. Love it. Love it. In the 80s and 90s people used to paint custom bikes a lot more along these lines than the boringly standard Rapha/Serotta/Seven understatement that's the rage today among Mamils.
Love it. More pix please.When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.0 -

If Timmy saw it, even he wouldn't buy it at £9.99, cos he'd probably find it 10p cheaper somewhere else on the internet0 -
I like it too, apart from the saddle, which should be black to match the bars.Is the gorilla tired yet?0
-
Its very orange.
Would love to see a photo of the cockpit, not sure but it looks like the rh shifter cable has been cut way too short (personal itch of mine)Fitter....healthier....more productive.....0 -
Anothe peek..
Yes, feels like a trip... 0 -
Hi,
