Retro bikes we've spotted

Re:

It never ceases to amaze me how many people use cheap, crummy locks to secure expensive bicycles, badly, just loop a £5 cable lock from a Christmas cracker around the frame and leave both quick release wheels totally unsecured.

I don't know what it is, but the yellow bike at the start of the thread would probably cost the best part of £2,000.00 to replace, fillet brazed frame, front dynamo hub and a Rohloff Speedhub, and it's secured with a £20.00 combination lock! :facepalm:

Re:

Passed this today, then turned back.....

tis an original owner from new dogs bolx (I do of course mean donkis knob, thanks Raidan73)the chap explained, hardly brings it out unless its sunny now but has been touring abroad on it in years past, he asked Dave for as many bosses as possible and also asked him to put his signature to it, the latter of which he declined as he wouldnt put his name to anything he hadnt built from start to finish.
All XTR, mix of M900 & M950 and XT hubs. a lovely shade of metallic dark green too.

Re:

Really nice to see these bikes out and about. I desperately need something in Max OR I guess it's maybe a Donkis Nob though as the Dogs was Roberts

Re:

I think the hooger booger needs a drop of oil on the chain :shock:

Loose bar ends as bonus. Personaly if it was mine, I loose handlebars also... :twisted:

Reverse psychology ? I mean, who'd nick that rusty old wreck :roll:
