I always said it was a matter of finding something I enjoy riding

Ah that's right, cool I'll have a look

Hmm, any pics?

Old, King St.

And an easy one to keep the thread alive

Excuse the shitty phone pics, camera was dead this morning!

Any 26.0 short reach, compact drops (preferably in black) going cheap? Didn't you have some @bengreen ?

My wrists are absolutely killing me from my short ride on the airwings this morning

Cool, no worries

I have a 105 mech you can have for £10, long enough?

Ridiculous but awesome

Thought Ange had an orange Holdsworth, my bad!

.

Pics finally uploaded. Think a bolt just sheared in the stem though. Fuck. Buzz over

EDIT
crisis averted, all sorted!

Aha I wish. Focale turned up today although I rearranged for tomorrow.

I'm pleasantly surprised! Stock parts weren't too bad and the integrated bar/stem combo is awesome, I'll have to find a use for them somehow. The frame looks well made and has got relatively tight clearance (front is borderline Rizla and I shall be taking a couple of links out of the chain and slamming the rear tonight/tomorrow) just need a brake lever and it's sorted for now.

I was a bit disappointed with Wistanleys however, there's quite a few nicks and scratches on it and it didn't come with the restrain-esque straps it should have. I'll definitely be sending them pics and looking for some sort of compensation

As she was stock and what she's like now attached, please excuse the phone shots!

*grr, not letting me upload shots at the minute

Surprise delivery (spaniel not included)

Ange maybe? @jakjakjak @thross

Hmm, maybe I'll just grab a yoga mat and browse youtube

Damn! Maybe I'll just have to bug @jdp for the 7" (lol #euph)

Going to try and grab this tomorrow unless someone else beats me to it ( #moareuph )

Bike was due to be delivered today but I'm not there to get it so it'll be tomorrow now

If you want to stick with the red/white theme, white is definitely the way forward IMO

Charge spoon saddles are super comfy (ask @jdp he's got three!) and they come in white with red detailing ;)

Oops sorry, I meant great not grey. Maybe go for off white to match the frame if you want it to stand out a bit more, or brown maybe? Looks great how it is though, shame about the uncomfortable saddle

@fixie17 's cougar locked on St. Stephens an hour ago. Looks grey! Don't buy that red saddle to go on it! :(

Hopefully it is in person! Always a bit suss of own branded parts but we'll see, thankfully I have everything I need to replace them if I need to

Anyone noticed the influx of badly kept fg/ss knocking about the city recently? Bikes that sound like someone's chucked a spoon in a blender, lube your drivechains!!

Haha, it's a Focale 44 Noble

Looks like this (but smaller) stock but I shall be changing a few bits when it arrives (mostly that stem/bar combo)

I got it for the frame mostly (and it was about 60% off), 4130 made by superstar bmx so it should be pretty sturdy

I'd imagine it'll also be getting a respray at some stage!

Ah, you'll have to see when it arrives! Nothing special, but it was cheap

New bike ordered today, should be here by the end of the week
