I've recently started cycling in the Kent area. Been out the last two days and have seen some absolute bike pornography on the roads. Everyone who rides past me (in the opposite direction obviously :lol: ) I'm thinking ooooh nice bike I'd like one of them. Best yet was a white and red Cervelo.

    I came here hoping to read about mud.

    Very disappointed. :(

    Sorry to disappoint. Thought reading about nice bikes would be better than mud.
    My bikes filthy dirty if that helps you.
  • I thought you were gonna post about dog s**t. :shock:
  • I thought you were a chav referring to police officers
  • I thought it was going to be another "big girls" type of thread. :(

    Not seen any big girls yet. Hoping this is to come.

    I like many others came here expecting pictures of filthy roads/bikes. I shall post this so no one needs to feel the same dissapointment.

    Who can top this? (no MTB's :P)

    Yeah that's what I thought. Didn't see too many of them in SE18 I must say.

    I'm pretty sure mine would look a lot worse than that if I didn't run full mudguards.

    I'm looking forward to your "my rear brake caliper is sticking" thread in Workshop shortly... :wink:

    The joys of Scottish winter cycling (and I should point out, I live in one of the drier parts of Scotland).

    For various reasons the commute's been off since Xmas, looking forward to tonight's ride home: forecast 1°, wind gusting force 8, snow showers. That's more like it.

    Thinking of a new game here....can you name the part that is covered in mud? And no, not just Front Derailleur, need full details - Brand, Model, Year etc
    Extra kudos if someone can make their whole bike so dirty that no-one can name any part on it.

    Mine could be a good challenge but the name is just about visible on the front mech. Maybe I'll try tonight or tomorrow when there's a pretty good chance it'll all be covered in snow...

    Well, I can only see 2 bikes on here so far: one's mine, which isn't nice looking, and the other only has a teeny weeny sprinkling of dust on it.

    Calling any CX-ers to the thread?

    Ill pop my roadie on when later. It is white so that's almost cheating but I shall give it a go.

    Yeah bike porn seems to be big business now!!!
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.
