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

              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.

                        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.
