LMAO!!!!!

Or it's behaving, so it isn't punished so cruelly again.

"I'll be good, i'll be good, just don't leave my out with the foxes again - they pee *everwhere*"

Ok I found these had been abandoned overnight on my route to school. But they had obviously been unloved for some time before:

Saw them and immediately thought of my friend who doesn't like spending on his bikes... bumped into his partner later who thought of him as well when she saw them.

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Is it just me or does the one with the red mudguard look like it's been build from Copper Gas piping???

 

[summerdays]

The black one is a raleigh record the gas pipe one ... I don't know what it is:

Apart from both very very rusty.

Now this is an unloved bike, just look at the way the poor thing has been 'dumped' down the side, not even placed, it has been 'dumped'.
So Helen is the winner.

Oooooh, I've won!

So... the next cycling photo challenge.

I think I shall do the opposite of this one. I want a pic of an incredibly clean part of your bike, something shiny and lovely, but it can't be because it's brand new, it has to be something you've had for a little while but you've kept in tip-top condition.

Get snappin'!

OK - slight cheat - I've had the part for a while (month or two), looked after it really well... (kept it in the box) and here it is: (slightly artfully arranged!)

I was having fun this afternoon when I finally got around to fitting it.

(Edit: definitely 2 months as it was before broke my elbow I was about to replace it - 2 months must count as not new... go on)

 

[ianrauk]

Lol...
I'm on it...

Im going to go take some pics of the fixed tomorrow. That is pretty clean, due to the fact i waxed it a few times and it just stays clean easy

 

[Cubist]

Here we go then. Front wheel hub from Cubette's old GT Tequesta. Shiny!

 

[Auntie Helen]

That is very shiny! Keep 'em coming folks

 

[fossyant]

Pic of my rear mech - just taken.... 18 years old, to go with the rest of the DA kit and bike. An old set of hubs are currently being re-built to go along with the retro'ness.....

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

OMG - Fossy's scarily clean bike again.

I've only just finished having nightmares from seeing it last time... wondering whether my own bike would forgive me for letting it get dirty after it had seen Fossy's machine in the flesh...

I'm seeing a seahorse/snail/swan/robot in a Salvador Dali type visual association thing

I see a chain of association developing...but you're right Fnaar.
