Nice bottle. Who makes them? Match my new saddle bag.

Not a bad commute

I bought a lovely frame off Kevin. It was just as described and arrived quickly and well packaged. He has been brilliantly helpful in communications, especially on technical issues. An all round top retrobiker!

Where is that? Not in UK judging by buildings outside. Troyes?

Not ridden a Moots, but from what I read about them this has the same feeling - a subtle but definite effect. I cleaned a climb on it yesterday that has so far eluded me this year - it might just be that it's dried out enough, but I do also think this thing maintains traction where hardtails...

Thank you. I've also got 20mm of squish in the redshift stem, so it's technically full suspension - or as close as I get. 😁

Thanks. I really tried hard not to buy it, but totally caved - and I'm delighted I did! Think it needs a wider bar - for control at the silly speeds this thing is capable of.

I'm rubbish at those teaser threads. I'm just not the person to spend 18 years acquiring and then polishing things and nicely photographing the process. Not that I don't admire the work and dedication that goes into these things. Anyway, here is my Castellano, bought earlier this week off...

Bloody cold down South today. Bright and dry but COLD. Did I mention cold?!

I also share your pain. I earned a living as a bike mechanic for a number of years using essentially the same set of tools. The dizzying array of standards, routings, chargers, apps etc now required to maintain bikes has totally put me off offering to work on every type of bike. I still do a few...

Me on the right. Slight distortion I think though. 😬

Another sunny POETS day off-road spin across the Downs.

On my ride home from work a freezing grey blanket of mist had descended. Definitely got lucky with the weather this morning.

Lots of things in the air today - paragliders above the old hill fort, buzzards and herons by the river. Lovely day.

I do love the paintjob on your bike

As Kurt Vonnegut said: if this isn't nice, what is? Cold and misty, but the sun burnt through.

Do you know what length axle to crown you need? I have a nearly new MRP Rock Solid fork that's 445mm - lovely fork, just decided to go with something a bit lower.

It's funny, I compiled this a couple of months ago as I was having the same discussion with a colleague. Ones marked with * are the ones gone that I wish I'd kept or that I still own and will keep. Here goes: Current built up bikes in use: Orbea Arama* (brilliant, dependable, practical) Santa...

Alas too big for me, but I bet that is wonderful ride.

I love that bike! And the beer looks good too.
