Really pretty bike

[dan_bo]

Who wants to see a really really pretty bike?

 

[alecstilleyedye]

what's her name?

 

[dan_bo]

Not sure yet.

 

[Pottsy]

I do.

Is it fixed?

 

[dan_bo]

It is. It works as well.


Ok so I might be biased but honestly its one of the prettiest bikes i've ever seen.

 

[Pottsy]

Stop teasing.

It's me old '63 viking, just had it stove enamelled in the colour of my other hobby. I haven't ridden it for three years and I built it up last night. Not being the world's best photographer (phone camera as well) the pic doesn't do it justice but it rides like a dream. Really.

nice bike, shame about the bar-tape.

 

[dan_bo]

You think? I reckon the pink sets it off really well!

 

[Pottsy]

Is drinking red wine your other hobby?

I like it (bar tape excepted).

not a fan of pink really. it will get really grubby with use as well. the burgundy paintwork is lovely though. some leather bar tape would look drop dead…

Chain looks a bit loose.

Pink tape is a no no in my book. Otherwise beautiful bike.

10/10 for not spoiling it with a back brake.

Very nice - could be improved by angling the bars forward a bit.
