Pictures of your bike(s)
Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
Fire W B, I thought it reminded me of a New york artist and linked this thread to my brother, who asked if I was thinking of
Keith Haring as indeed I was, but couldn't just bring his name to mind.

I see KH had form for bikes as well as his artworks, and Coarse Fabrication in New York (?) has painted up a bike in his style as a tribute.

I'm not sure they were trying hard enough, when compared to your's !
Was your's a nod to his style as well ? Excellent either way, good luck.
The only thing I've written on my bike with a marker is the tyre pressures - with no lacquer !

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
I've heard of Keith Haring but not that familiar with his broader work. But looking at what you posted he definitely has that doodle style.colin54 wrote: ↑29 Oct 2021, 2:27pm Fire W B, I thought it reminded me of a New york artist and linked this thread to my brother, who asked if I was thinking of

That's the first time I've seen that bike. But they cheated, they didn't draw on it
Thanks for the support!

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
No pictures for a while so here's one to continue the thread.
Raleigh Record Ace in winter hack mode. Recently converted from fixed gear commuter to 5 speed freewheel. Built the rear wheel on a Sturmey Archer drum brake hub with Ambrosio P20 rim - have attained a good technique to get the tyres on (bl**dy tight rims).
Bottom bracket threads wore out a couple of weeks ago so fitted a cheap threadless bottom bracket and torqued it up good and tight with threadlocker. Winter schwalbe studded tyres fitted (cheap ones ex SPA).
Just done a 45 mile Sunday jaunt on some quiet undulating Highland roads and all good so far, the bottom bracket seems reasonably secure but the tyres really kill the ride. However I had them pumped up pretty hard as it wasn't really that icy.
So, roll on winter!!
excuse the poor photo, it was a bit too cold to ponce about getting an arty shot! I think the image comes up a bit bigger if you click on it.
Edit: forgot to add: with inspiration from Brucey, cheers!!

Good on you for the 'nod' to Brucey, sorely missed on the forum, he does like a drum-brake, 'cheers' to him too !

Mine's the middle one!

1992 steel - mid-range TruTemper AVR double butted - mtb is not going to be "light"! But some health issues make it the most painless ride I have at present.

My favourite steed, CX rigged for light touring 50:50 paved/unpaved. 1x gearing, which I’d really like to alter 2x.

This isn't my bike. It's aflook's and I rotated the image so that everyone else didn't have to rotate their heads.
