Well it's been snowing.....but I have baldy tires and work during the daylight hours!

Managed a wee ride tonight to pop to cash machine....cold -3c and ice isn't good!

 

[Bpool77]

bet your hoping it gets deeper? whats that light on the front? bright :idea:

 

[saltyman]

The deeper the better for this bike!

Light is brilliant, magic shine 880 £120 off eBay.

On 10% power I get 4 weeks use easy and on 100% it kicks out 2000 lumens and gives you a suntan

Just been to the London Bike Show....had a quick look at the Moonlander, such a cool bike, the salesman guy was quite shocked I knew so much about them!!!!
I found the wheels quite odd..the one on display was laced to one side of the rim. I like the Bill and Ted trailers that are available...cool names.

The Salsa Beargrease looks good..

 

[saltyman]

Yeah the rear wheel is offset, so it's aligned with the offset frame.....this allows you to run 100mm rims and use a 135mm rear hub

Hence the deep dish on rear....
