    You ride a Soloist and a part built Eddy Merckx Corsa. Plus, it looks too small for you and you would never live with that bit of steerer tube above the stem.


    Very astute my man - I am impressed. Hat.

    I'm waiting. I had the last spacer out last week, but in London traffic I felt a bit blind, so put it back. Once I do it, I'll have the steerer cut.

    The lawn is fine. Great for kids and wildlife or... wildkids and life.

    Alan Pinkerton had nothing on me.

    I'm slowly moving towards that one bike to rule them all. Must be an age thing.

    Hit it with a hammer then set fire to it with fire before throwing it into next door's garden.

    If it's for gravel then fine but if it's for the road but looks like a gravel bike...

    How about this:

    prod160705_IMGSET?wid=500&hei=505

    It's a Wilier.

    Signs you're coming out of the closet Stevo. That's ^ just one step away from a road bike.

    I do a bit of both...

    A decent roadie has its place in my collection - or will do when I have time to do rides that aren't just the daily communt. For now I have to give priority to the more fun version of riding :wink:

    Next on the list is the replacement for the Bruiser:

    My kinda geometry.

    The saddle is only for when you stop and need to sit down and have a rest.

    Well since you ask...sometimes it's good to take a quick break half way and decide what run we want to do the rest of the way down. It's a very physical sport you know :wink:

    Very sweet though.

    I reckon we should buy loads of them (well, newly promoted Gary can as he'll now be on rock star wages)and stalk H3 wherever he rides.

    He'll never know its us either as apart from the V-Meister and you, he's never met any of us. All you two have to do is wear comedy moustache/glasses and he'll never know its you.
