New 'commuter' bike
The Rookie
Posts: 27,756
When we are at our parent companies site (which is huge) I get fed up with waiting around for transport to get across site, finally got the boss to approve a bike (ideal for the purpose!).
Lugged frame, lugged forks, lashings of chrome - including on the rims, rod brakes and a thick deep black colour scheme, single speed mind you and cottered cranks!
When in Rome - or in this case India..... http://www.herocycles.com/jetplus2.htm
What a laugh, the riding experience is a hoot although it's ruddy hard work and probably weighs more than my 2 steel framed bikes put together, downhill it's awesome although with the negative stem length (with the backturned bars) the steering is 'interesting' and certainly not designed for one hand at speed, although I did pass a few scooters riding back from the shop to plant, and where do I find a pump for a woods valve?
Have a guess at the price (GBP -£)......

Price, I reckon more like £20 if that. I think I have a woods valve pump, it came attached to the EPO's station hack.
Marin Nail Trail
Cotic Solaris
Price wise I say £60.

Anyone know whether you can buy these separately? Would be awesome to cut down the amount of time I spend maintaining my valves...
And yes you find yourself in a tuck with the stem top almost in your stomach and your elbows pointing back like chicken wings....fortunately it only rains for about 2 months a year!
