here is a phone picture of my steamroller with new bars just fitted. I don't really like the way bullhorns look, but I like riding with them more than drops, and they offer more hand positions than risers. Might have to change to my big dutch-style bars soon though, I got a horn for Christmas that will be perfect on them.

Is anyone running treaded (cross?) tyres on their steamroller at the moment? If so, what did you go for?

that ladies frame ed posted is bloody lovely. I wish my mrs didnt need gears.

it's the way you tell 'em.

rest in peace Paul.

those shoes would look much better if they didn't have 'bontrager' written big in such an obvious place.

you didn't, I just saw the current projects thread. head badge looked similar.

Ed, is that a Milwaukee you posted on the last page?

Horn + sleeping dad = quality Christmas entertainment.

better safe than sorry - done. nice bike by the way ;)

My apologise.

Your steamroller is the best.

still want to see a pic of this much mooted dutchroller.

That's my 'roller - locked up about halfway down. With three locks.

sorry, just read my post back and it is a bit of an advert for where you lock up (will edit it if you want?). just in case, I've often thought 'that is an extremely well locked up bike, if I were a bike thief I'd walk straight past and not waste my energy'.

Sharkstar do you work on a road that will now remain unnamed near my work? I often see a bike just like yours on my lunch time walks (I'm not an old man, even though that makes it sound like I am).

everything on that tandem looks mad, especially the hubs.

page 400 was full of some quality ed action. nice work. 'cotton picking minutes' is defo a personal favorite.

apparently I've been really slack and have still not uploaded a pic of mine onto here. sorry about that. i'm off work now for Christmas so will have plenty of time to bore you all with my surly.

the thread lives.

around 10 ish this morning dude with the red/white/blue Nelson on great dover street. I rode past as you were unlocking outside the corner shop. you clocked me clocking you (sounds dirty). I was going to give you a shout out as I know you're on here, but my face was so cold it would have just be some kind of incoherent droan, so I passed.

does look lovely. i'm surprised that no one has yet hated on the QR (doesnt bother me btw).

Ha!

I Quite like the green spokes, but will never see white tyres as anything but a bad idea.

no wonder DH bikes are so expensive! that is a lot of kit.

mine arrived yesterday too, so they got their madien voyage this morning and i'm really pleased with them. my toes were still bloody cold by the time I got here. agree with commie that they do look a bit bling straight out of the box, but it won't take long for the sheen to wear off.

out of interest does anyone use a sidi washer between the sole of the shoe and cleat? I was flicking through the little book that came with them this morning and saw they are 'recommended', I assume that is just becasue they are sold seperately and will proabably cost a tenner or more. anyway, anyone use and or recommend or know of the advantages?

I'm usually a 44. Sidi 45 is a pretty snug fit.

This might have been mentioned elsewhere - Sidi Dominator 40% reduction for today only at Wiggle

get in. thanks for posting that. I've been after a pair for ages and this made them too hard to turn down. fingers crossed the free delivery will get them here soon!

Dear Mr 14.

I have never met you, but having watched your legend develop on the pages of this here forum over the last couple of years I am deeply saddened to hear you’re unwell and suffering at the hands of such a fucker of an illness. I wish you all the very best for a swift recovery and do hope you are getting friendly with as many nurses as are within your reach and keeping in the best possible spirits.

Stay stong man, you can beat this.

about 11.45 this morning, someone on a Burls titanium frame on Essex Road. nice frame.
