        They feel sticky at first but that goes away. Best grip on the market imho. Enjoy every ride :).

          Here's another of mine.

          I had the frame built for me in the late 70's. Eventually got around to building her into a bike in 2016. Yeah, I took a little time to work out what I wanted to do 🙂

                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.
