I got curious and viewed the source code for the photo page (not that I really understand what I'm looking at) but I couldn't find a "direct" address for the photo at all but what did shock me was that, despite no google account being logged onto on this browser, all five google accounts that are used on this computer/browser were listed in the source code. The "view code" menu option was disabled too so I had to put the instruction in the address bar (Firefox).
Edit: I gather that the account details are there to compile a login list but surprised that that information is there where the page is not asking me to log in.

Must be 10 years since I toyed with the idea of "just one bike", but my "new" Boardman (thanks Colin!) has very much resurrected consideration.
Lowered the gearing by the cheapest route, a mech extender and a 9 speed 11-40 cassette rather than 11-32. Works perfectly and makes all the difference.

Is County Fermanagh now part of France? There will be a lot of folk who didn't see that one coming! :twisted:

Back in January I bought a pre-loved Spa touring frame from UpWrong of this parish.

My aim was to build up, using salvagable parts from my somewhat neglected Bob Jackson, second-hand components accumulated over a number of years and some shiny new bling where required or desired.

The result, my latest Asp Bitsa.

You have room there to add a second longer stem with a short bar to use as an accessory bar :wink:
Like the bar end shifters mounted in spinnaci clamps by the look of it. I assume you drilled a hole in them to replicate a cable stop.
Nice Dura ace down tube stops BTW. :lol:
At the last count:- Peugeot 531 pro, Dawes Discovery Tandem, Dawes Kingpin X3, Raleigh 20 stowaway X2, 1965 Moulton deluxe, Falcon K2 MTB dropped bar tourer, Rudge Bi frame folder, Longstaff trike conversion on a Giant XTC 840 :D
