      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.

                    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.

                                          Bought my wife a cargo e-bike yesterday and she bought me the short version. This gives us all the flexibility we need to explore and do errands with the whole family. My shortie can come with us on road trips, using the bike rack.
