        Yes, in my early 20's I spent a long time evaluating English hand made frames, and ended up going with Mercian....

          Both nice bikes @Giles curious if you've ridden more recent tech? carbon fibre, disc brakes, etc?

            I rode a Schott recently in Greece, disc brakes and SRAM digital shifters. Boy did I fall in love with the shifters....

              @Giles Yeah! Don't they feel comfy? Love the Paul lever -I've always shied away from Paul components due to the hefty price.

                    My Bike has felt a lot faster and more comfortable on the ride into work these last few weeks ^_^

                      Very cool use of those stickers @Shaun . I’ve got a white Toyota FJ and those will look perfect on it. Thanks for the idea!

                      The journey is the objective.

                                Rivendell is restocking Atlantis frames. That's my dream bike, but unfortunately I do not have the funds for such a build.

                                  Hello party people,

                                  it's the time of the year again that I'm browsing for new a new bike. Right now I'm looking into the Surly Straggler that I'd like to build as a classic randonneur. Is anyone familiar with the straggler? I've never had a Surly before; the midnight special looks also nice.

                                    My Ritchey Timberwolf. I bought it new in 1985. I’ve made a few changes over the years. But the frame, crank set, brakes, seat post, derailleurs and head set are all original - as is the hite-rite.

                                        Got a new single speed bike and flipped the rear wheel from cassette to fixie mode. Let the torture begin! I love spinning so being able to do it outside this summer is going to be epic.

                                          Did 49 miles on the Bishop Single Speed in yesterdays Bikes & Beer ride out of Birdsmouth Brewery. What a fun day 🚲🍻
