Bicycles - what do you have?

[winst0nsmith]

Orange Evo 2 Ltd Ed, fully rigid so possibly unique, not just limited.

 

[Elines]

That's an interesting perspective. I'll have to put that in my folder when analysing potential other clients (I have to do a whole research, development and design folder as if I was making it for a particular client with the potential of mass production).
To be fair, I'm more interested in getting a decent a-level result and therefore decent uni and decent degree and job etc. The trike is just an added bonus

Regarding particular clients .... I went past a mobility scooter shop some time ago and it had a mobility scooter in the style of a harley davidson. I never had a motorbike (only rode my dad's scooter) but if the day comes when I need a mobility scooter then a HD style one would be the way to go!

I had an ICE trike that I did the end to end on sold it as kept getting bottles thrown at me by kids in Basildon when I used it for commuting to work.
Now I have a Pashley roadster with a trailer and some nice old 80's karrimor panniersin green (Bike is Black) http://www.pashley.co.uk/products/roadster-classic.html had the gears upgraded to a 5 speed. This is the most commfy diamond frame bike I have ever rode. Also have a fixie made from an old raleigh frame. Do like a nice recumbent and had a R40 USS 2 wheel but again got stolen by the local chavs and trashed.

Now Im in Australia I would never ride and the highways for long distance as you will just get cleaned up by the trucks and from all the dead roos on the side of the road they dont care what they hit. The only cyclists you do see are mad englishmen.

Ride safe.

Will be looking to pick up a bike over the next year, looks like I'll be asking for advice here when the time comes, there are some lovely bikes here!

I have a Trek 4200 which for me is the best bike I have ever owned. Living on a farm it handles everything from tractor rutted tracks, wooded trails to leisurely tow paths and tarmac. Suspension can be locked out for the smooth stuff, and then un-locked and you can redial the pre-tension depending on the kit you're carrying or the style of riding you do. Worth looking in to in my opinion...can get them for 400-500 too...

I have a Trek mountain bike, but it hasn't gotten much use since I started getting into road biking. This is my main bike now, a Gary Fisher Rail.

 

[Lister]

Raleigh MT20 to replace the MT10 that some gits stole from my work years ago it's a stock bike atm so if anyone has any suggestions about what to add to it to pimp it out for carrying etc that'd be grand

 

[ubermeister]

My old one (pre shed break-in ), and one of my favourite photos:

My current one (same model and a direct replacement), On*One Inbred with XTR drive train, Marzocchi 'spension and disc brakes:

And my 40th birthday present to myself - Graham Weigh cyclocross bike (affectionately refered to as 'the angry bike') with full Campagnolo groupset and carbon forks:

Cyclo-cross bikes ROCK

I just did my first Century ride (100 miles) on the Redbud Ride this past Saturday in London, KY. http://redbudride.com/ It was cold, wet, and rained half of the ride, but I suffered through it and finally finished. I've never pedaled so much or climbed so many hills before in my life. I'll certainly train seriously if I ever decide to do it again, or just not answer the phone when my friend calls to ask me again next year.

Fantastic, well done.

You'll feel like you flying after a couple of days rest now.

Well done on your first century.

The BHF's Norwich 100 is always good. Usually in May and 100 miles around Norfolk starting/finishing in Norwich. http://bike-events.com/Ride.aspx?id=317 -- It's pretty flat around there and last time I did it I think there were > 600 riders (so plenty of draft)
Or more hardcore London to Dunwich (120 miles, night ride) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunwich_Dynamo

These are my two bicycles.

Charge Plug 2009, single-speed / fixed-gear and very comfortable for long distances. Currently has black handle bar tape and clip-on mudguards.

Focus Cayo 2010. Full-carbon, far too fast for me.
