Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
Yeah it's a stoater. I've only really ridden it on roads and bridleways tbh when loaded up. I've ridden it on my local mtb routes with 40mm tyres on it and it was very comfy compared to my old cx bike
Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
I never get round to posting a picture of my bike so today here's two mediocre pictures taken today on the Coventry city centre Sky Ride (click to open bigger picture in flickr):

Nice bike.
Bar end levers, steel frame. Just what I like.
I've just googled the make and model and I'm tempted.

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
The current model has better mudguards that what mine came with (my originals were a bit too narrow and shallow) and so I replaced them with SKS longboards. I have a different rear rack (the original was damaged in transit). I swapped the pedals out for SPDs and the original seat for one off an old bike. I've added a dynamo hub and lights too. That sounds like a lot more change than it really is. I am very pleased with the bike; in my opinion it is a lovely bike for the money - very good value.

These 2 bikes I got for under £20. I use both for keeping fit.

This one will certainly strengthen your legs. Are you training to be a jockey?

LOL Only 5ft 2in tall so it fits me well compared to the DB which is like a tank to ride.
Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
Don't you find the saddle a bit on the narrow side?
I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my SM-G800F using hovercraft full of eels.

I nicked off it to try the DB out, not to impressed with DB bike. So the saddle will be going back on the other bike.

Hi,
Picked up one today similar to the top one, but a big rough, has trigger shifters not twist grip? £5
They are very clean, the bottom one has a Steel H/bar stem, which rusts the steerer tube something rotten, you had it off yet?

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
The top one is my daily ride, which I picked for free about 3 years ago. Been sat in the loft until 9 weeks ago, then I started getting fit. The bottom one I picked up for £20 last week off Ebay. Took it for a ride to day, I didn't like it one bit. It may be used for spares for a trike I am thinking off building next year.

This is my mates Colnago,not sure of model/vintage.
Dream? Aluminium in Master profiled tubeset, Precisa forks and non-carbon rear triangle point to early 2000s. IIRC, was Columbus Airplane tubing.
Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
Latest n+1 . Always looking for the next one .
1990 based on the Shimano date codes.
Tange 4130 MTB Cr-Mo frame, Shimano 300LX groupset, Mavic Oxygen M6NE rims. Needs a few tweaks here and there but seems sound where it matters .
Being a Kuwahara if I put a basket on the front and get a small alien to sit in it the whole thing will fly .
Edit: 11/9 now tweaked with a general service, new cables throughout, Deore LX cantilevers, Schwalbe Land Cruiser tyres and a Spa Nidd.
Edit: 22/9 first proper test ride today, twenty miler. Feels sluggish on road, might be the Biopace chainrings, 175mm cranks, 1.75 tyres or just needing to fine tune the positioning. Rides great off-road .

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
The Diamondback Mountain Bike is now being broken up for spares, Most of the bike will be used for a semi off road trike.
