- Thorn Sherpa (c.2012) This had some 350 miles on the clock when I got it second hand from SJS at quite a discount, and the fit is ideal for me. Now up to c. 37,000 miles. Recently fitted the bar ends off the Cannondale (old X-Lites). Got a new Vaude rack bag the other day which fits well despite the saddle height (!)

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
I'm loving all these re-purposed mountain bikes.
That's virtually what this Dawes 1-Down framed bike is , I bought it with flat bars
and have had it with drops and back to flat bars ,I've just put it back to drops which I prefer,
it was originally designed to have drops.First picture is above Otley overlooking Wharfedale from Surprise
View the day after I bought it, and the second is at the ' Mammoth Bike Wash' above Hebden Bridge on
the way to Keighley the other day .It's a University of Bradford site actually, perhaps they found
Mammoth bones there, strange place to find it.It's extinct tusks are a bit like my extinct down tube
levers ,I've got some bar-end levers to try next, so hi-tech!

Here's 'Olive', my Ridgeback World Panorama Deluxe . It is truly my Do It All bike, I also have an audax bike, and a full sus MTB, but I haven't touched them in 2 years. This one bike does all I want from all of my bikes, I am so pleased with it, I need no other, but I'm reluctant to part with the others.

My new old bike, Raleigh Sprint after my many mods to it. I snapped the chainstay on my old Peugeot, long may it rust in peace.

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
This is my shopping bike, the frame was given to me by a member of C,U,K, and had served him well over many years.
I have tried to make it look as horrible as possible in the hope it will be left in peace while I am in the supermarket, well I can hope cant I

Not mine but my sons new(2nd hand) Dolan Multi-X
It's taken almost two years for him to decide he wants to try Cyclo-cross again.Getting his backside spanked in a fun CX/Track race on his MTB did the trick Managed to drop on this and do a deal outside Ebay and had a nice afternoon drive out to the Lincolnshire Wolds to pick it up.
His 4th(and last!) bike in 12 months
