Mike's bikes

[Mike Muz]

Since Longun has started a thread on all the bikes he's had, and the ensuing loss of photos owing to photobucket, I thought I'd try and find some of mine on memory cards. Pictured as they were when I'd built them up, with some updated photos. Putting photos of them here. links to build threads at the bottom of this post

From the oldest.

Re:

Thanks Chris


Think I should put pictures of them all in that post, just for reference. Some sadly departed from my grubby hands.

Thoughts?

If you ever buy a seatpost from me, you can rest assured, there won't be scratches from insertion much above the minimum insert!
In fact, I have a 2015 Syncros one that looks new above min insert, for sale. As a result of my ride position.

I can see that are they all 400mm posts :?:

Re:

Mabey the odd 50mm in there too.

Both Scotts I know are shorter than 400mm, as is the carbon post in the Giant. The WCS one in the Ritchey is, I think, 350mm too.

Re:

Nice Collection there Mike!

Given the choice, I would love to have a go on the MCM out of all of them, despite my fondness for steel and a bit of Ti. Looks bloomin fast does that one
