your elbows must nearly be as knackered as mine atm (world's stupidist bike crash i had 3 weeks ago,a hedge jumped out at my bars and chucked me off at about 5 mph lol). what with all that elbow grease to get the frame polished like that. fantastic job sir :-)

that was a great read,thank you i have wanted/lusted after a ti bike since the early 90's but could never afford one (kona hei hei,marin team titanium,gt xizang etc). finally last year i realized my dream and am now the proud owner of a kinesis sync ti mtb ht (27.5" 1 x 11 slx...

i am planning on getting myself a lovely classic steel road bike of some sort (looking to save up to £450). was looking at the vintage velo site and came across a scarpa road bike in my size i think (52cm). i do like the look of it tbh,but was just wondering if anyone can tell me a bit about...

at cash generator in trowbridge. were wanting £80.00 for it. do you think that is a bit steep or about right (the bike looked ok from what i saw of it,but obvious paint chips e.t.c. i was tempted tbh but ended up replacing my broken 360 slim instead. bike is this model btw i did have a...

i saw your bike yesterday in melksham cycle centre (i was in the mechanics area when you bought it in). was not drooling over it at all :lol: lovely bike you have (and the tubes are nearly as skinny as my duster/it was locked up outside the shop). enjoy riding it :)
