Show us your knackered kit

I'd say that was pretty knackered. You win.

Id raced two seasons on that- and those chainrings.

It started off as an odd indentation in the paint which slowly grew. The last time I took it out I put the green marker on it and then chucked it down a rutted byway.

Took it back to the framebuilder (Neil Orrell) and it's been solid for a good 18 month since.

I would have taken a picture of the rear mudguard on the commuter, it has snapped clean in two and is currently held together with packaging tape, also secured to the bike with said packaging tape. Has been like that for a couple of months but I dropped it in the LBS yesterday for a new set to be fitted. @13 rider and @tallliman can bear witness to my brilliant bodging as they have seen it in the flesh

A long, long time ago I thought it was a good idea to ride an old rod-braked (i.e.none) butchers' bike to a mates in heavy rain at rush hour.


Ended up having to kick the front wheel in at speed going downhill to a red light T junction- full mudguards preventing me putting my foot on the back tyre to slow. That was a mess.


This was before digital photography mind.

that looks pretty fatal.

Was for the ride, not for the bike.

Lordy. You were hoovering naked when you fell down the stairs into the workshop, and you landed on a pair of G clamps that went up your bum?

Its a shame I can't post pictures of my knackered patched up arteries, the ones being held open by stents.

Iwas going to like that post @dave r but that would be wrong if you know what I mean

I certainly can....as someone with electrical tape fixes on one of my light brackets, it's a good solution.

Didn't @13 rider have a pic of us which shows the fix?
