Slight cosmetic upgrade for this thing today -- replaced the black Flite with a blue one. Not sure if I like it yet, and the photos suggest there is some levelling still to be done!

Took this bad boy out again yesterday for a 35k ride covering both tarmac and gravel, with 350m (about 1,150 feet) climbing. I'm pleased with how responsive it is, but found the stretched position -- even with a short (80mm) stem -- just a bit uncomfortable after an hour or so. So despite my OCD...

Loverly frame -- agree the colours need a touch of toning down though!

Given his predilection for Bugattis, Lamborghinis and Ferraris you'd think he'd go for something a bit sportier than that sit-up-and-beg hybrid. Something Italian, hand-built and light. (But then, he would still be the engine . . .)

Kermit is quite the committed cyclist -- looks like a custom frame too . . .

Easy crankin'

Wow, that's seen some action

My Pashley is accustomed to rejection, sadly

Picturesque low-hanging mist!

Today I've been working on a bike that I reckon fits in with the spirit of this thread rather well -- and certainly more so than on a 'serious' build or restoration thread. Here goes the story: Mrs Moon has sometimes expressed a wish to do a spot of cycling, although I have never really...

Damn, that was supposed to go into Imlach's Sweaty Hippie Funk Collection -- apologies all! I'm going to reproduce it there, but thanks for the likes.

Why is this thread not coming up in my alerts? I've missed all kinds of bastardry. Speaking of which, this beaut is for sale on local Facebook Marketplace -- for the modest sum of AUD 1,000. I also studied this for some time before realising why exactly it was bothering me.

The issue with my iPhone taking blurry photos continues (I'm sure it's the 'indestructible' case I have it in) so I don't have any decent images to share of recent rides. Suffice to say, summer is coming in rather hesitantly while I try to get some miles into the creaky old legs. Last Saturday...

Very nice frame -- looking forward to the rebuild!

Bill Watterson wasn't a 'specialist' cycling cartoonist but he knew the subject pretty well . . .

Would love to see those pics! All dream bikes and very interesting additions to the body of Kona knowledge.
