The British bike thread

[Imlach]

I suppose here is as good a place as any to share this channel, Velocipedium, for folks that want to support a small enthusiast channel. Run by a fella named Rowan. Mostly 3 speeds and utilitarian, not all British but many are.

Excellent! John's Eclipse Canyon and Overburys Wildcat. Oh, just noticed it's in the road section, never mind, you're getting them anyway!

A beauty in every respect , the frame design , the sheen on those rims and the placing of the 531 decal on top of the crown . Does it have a short tt by any chance ?

I'm game ... One from Macclesfield I believe .

And a Dave Yates built one from further north east

And one from Anerley

No, no and thrice NO! You can all keep your covetous eyes off my Canyon and my short tt.

You didn't mention the Overbury so is that up for grabs????

Is that a gentle hint ?

I did actually. Squirrel's 'short tt' was a reference to the Overbury's, so NO!

So defensive and tense. I think we need to investigate whether or not these bicycles truly spark joy, if they're merely giving you stress and anxiety, perhaps it is best to consider a friendly departure? Declutter.
