    Falcon cheetah ladies

    Cool paint! but I agree with @hamster on the price - I think you'd struggle to get more than £20 for it Some photos of the thumbies / drive side would give a better idea of value, but from what I can see it's all fairly low end components

    Patina or pati - nah 🤔

    Not perfect, but the paint was a pretty good match & like @hamster said - from 2m it'll look fine. This was 2 coats with some light sanding in between - I painted it on in the end in an attempt to reduce mess, but I think the finish would have been better if I'd masked everything off 🤷‍♂️

    Patina or pati - nah 🤔

    The label clearly says THE PERFECT FINISH so I'm expecting good things 👌

    Patina or pati - nah 🤔

    I'm still torn, but for now pati - nah has won (it's going to get painted) I'm doing the worst bit first to see how fantastic it looks at the end - depending on the results I might just clear-coat the other bits! First coat of primer is on, I'll go over this with some 2000 grit then see how...

    Today's Ride

    Good one today - finally managed to do the segment I've been wanting to do for a little while. (Nailsea / Tickenham / Cadbury Camp / Clapton-in-Gordano / Clevedon). Only just over an hour to do, but could easily be linked on to a longer ride when I've got more time 👌

    Patina or pati - nah 🤔

    It gets a lot of miles & has lots of chips etc, so the paint is never going to be perfect, and tbh I like a bit of patina - but this might be too much 😅 On the flip side, I've got some primer & paint ready to go, but am aware that it's unlikely to ever be a perfect match so may look worse in...

    Patina or pati - nah 🤔

    Today I got around to making a mess of my lovely Ribble. It had a couple of little bubbles / snakes under the paint & knowing that the 531c tubing is pretty thin I didn't want to leave it too long, or ride it too much without taking care of any problems. After some light scraping with a...

    Nice little project

    "shed found" although they didn't say where the shed was located. From the state of the stem & bars I'm assuming at the bottom of a lake

    Today's Ride

    🌪️ W I N D Y 💨 Nice & sunny for today's lunchtime ride, but the wind was ridiculous - I think if I stopped peddling I would have gone backwards Unrelated: anyone seen a post on RB where someone was filling their paint chips with a different colour? Thinking about doing similar to the Ribble...

    Anti-theft parts bin sh*tter.

    Looking pretty horrible (in a good way)! Recon you're in danger of the council mistaking it for fly tipping & carting it off instead of the bike thieves 😂

    Today's Ride

    Out on the Ribble again for today's ride & found myself heading back up to Cadbury camp. Luckily I found an almost completely paved bridleway rather than slogging up the horse track like last time. There was one very stony steep bit that the gatorskins didn't like (probably 100m up & down) that...

    Today's Ride

    @bikeworkshop where's that to? Looks like some of the roads towards Gordano but I expect I'm miles off 😅

    Today's Ride

    Proper lunchtime spin today in the sunshine, although my feet were still numb by the end 🥶 First was a warm-up blast over Nailsea causeway followed by a very tricky ascent up Old Lane. The track has been battered over winter so lots of bank erosion & churned mud from the horses. Which has now...

    Wanted 🎨 Colour 🌈 (purple ano / fluro yellow)

    Update: I found a couple of blue ano bits in the garage but they don't look right on the frame, so blue is off the table 😅

    Has the site changed recently?

    👎 I wonder if some sort of paid tier setup is possible. I'd happily chuck a couple of coins at the RB server than have to look at adverts all the time

    Has the site changed recently?

    On the topic of recent changes - anyone else getting full screen adverts that need closing on mobile? Only started this morning & very annoying *Might be chrome related... Other browsers seem ok still 🤷‍♂️

    Wanted 🎨 Colour 🌈 (purple ano / fluro yellow)

    The parts-bin bike is pretty much done, but its in desperate need of a bit of colour: It's a Gary Fisher Wahoo in 'Titanium' (Drab Muddy Grey would have been a better name for the paint, but probably not as good for marketing purposes) I've not really made up my mind on a palette, it depends...
