Here's my effort.
All-black for slimming effect, the original pocket labels, and a nice minimalist "college" design.

Love the back!

Wonder if we crossed paths. I was out this way this morn. Good day for a ride.

Still at orifice. No Rapha for me.

ARGH.....

Geared Lo-pro OK?

To be more honest....massively OVER-geared lo-pro OK?

Ach whatever.

My comment was addressed at stoopid narrow bars, much like the ones in the picture (one hand either side of the stem style.) I, personally, would have more chance opening a can of whoop-ass on Mark Cavendish, than be able to sprint effectively on bars like that. Don't think I'd be able to lever my way up anything particularly steep either.

Jim's a very tasty rider and tbh, his bars look pretty normally sized in the sprint photo anyways.

Peace,
J.

Which shows your comment was wrong then as you clearly can still sprint with narrow bars.

You could sprint with flat tyres, doesn't mean you couldn't do it a whole lot better with air in them.

I was being glib, though I stand by the point mostly.

I done OK on narrow bars in the sprints earlier this year. I guess its how you ride your bike.

Definitely more to do with your legs than your bars mate....

;)

yup. stupid narrow bars = no hills, no sprints.

Everytime I see them I think Doofus.

Thanks for cheering me up everyone

Cheering you up Swains?

Cider friday?

Sorry rascals. Stuck in office until 9, mildly homicidal after that.

.....central drinks friday?

@ Stradam "Its also too far and too much damage caused by the bike for it to be doing only 30."

Sorry that's just not true. I've snapped a motorbike in half hitting a car at about 20mph, side on. I've had many, many motorbike crashes and it's a fact that modern bikes spray plastic everywhere even in a 15mph slide.

Simple fact from the photo; the bike didn't travel far once over the reservation and remained largely intact. If it had been doing much more than 30, let alone 50 or 70, it would, in my opinion either have travelled a hell of a lot further or sustained a lot more damage.

I usually never contribute in these threads but assuming that just because a motorbike was involved means the rider was speeding and at fault is really counterproductive to road awareness. It only enforces an already stale stereotype that motorcyclists are the cause of their own accidents and discounts the unpleasant truth that the vast majority of accidents involving both Motorbikes and Cycles in London have nothing to do with speed and everything to do with 'sorry mate, didn't see you'.....

Horrible accident and I really hope it is not as serious as it seems.

To be honest, looking at the pictures, I don't think the bike could have been going that fast. Any kerb impact over 30 would shatter the front wheel and / or tear the forks off and the 748 looks largely intact.

(Edit) Looking again 70mph sounds ridiculous, I've seen multiple times what happens to motorbikes sliding at 70 and they'll slide a hell of a lot further and with more damage than in that picture.

Really hope that all involved are OK.

I might be over in Belfast at beginning of september for an odd w/e. Unlikely to have my bike but if anyone fancies a pint I'd be up for it...

Usually my job.. (chopper reid skit etc)

Class!

Couple of dodgy photos of my latest finished bikes. Fixed and Geared.....

2nd in avoiding Pisa. Siena is fabulous, as mentioned already. Might have better luck with bike finding in Lucca though as it's a much bigger (and utterly spectacular) town.

Worth exploring the coast between Sestri Levante and La Spezia a little further north. Unbelievably pretty and also where they ran the individual time trial in this years Giro. The roads SP1 and SP566 are truly insane.

I thought 'excruciating' was a much more subtle kneedle.

Where's the friggin charity?

Could be up for this but also need to get back earlyish to avoid pre-marital discord.

...to tendon the ridiculous?

Bmmf please, this thread is excruciating....

Any norths massive fancy a ride out west ce soir?

I may be there. Subject to not brutally murdering several of my clients this afternoon.

^great "how to never get laid" example there mate

I have a MOTOR-cycle in the bedroom, beat that suckas....

errr.....and 5 bikes. (these are rather less popular with Mrs Jung)

I love the motherfucking enterprise! And the marathon....

Hmmm I understand they're thinking of including Cadel's cleft chin as a mountain stage in next years TdF....seems a little challenging to me.
