Nice Red Nipples

 

[SteCenturion]

Thanks guys, appreciate the nice comments. Currently waiting for a repro San Marco Regal to arrive to finish the project........(in brown of course)
Then may start hunting for another project bike......maybe something Italian or French :-)

PS Apologies re the long presta valves.......they were all i had in the parts bin when i did the build :-)

PPS Must big up my mate Andy Middleton for the excellent photography......just wish he'd slow down when we're out on a ride...i can't keep up......can't fault the camera wizardry though :-)

It's a stunning photograph, very well composed.

With added wheel bling and a tidy up of the cabling.

Novel use of a bench as a side car!

 

[Rafferty]

My failed attempt at a 'Porteur' type bike. I can't get a front rack to match the current set-up. The mudguards are steel and along with the rear rack, were sprayed to match the frame.

This knackered old carbon kinesis frame, loads of scuffs and chips,

To this! Not finished yet getting some kinesis decals custom made

 

[jack smith]

Looks quite nice that, but it's a Chinese one I take it? Blows me away how realistic they make them

it looks like a real one too me, as you can buy them off team sky at the end of each season, they just don't promote it - but would be happy to be proved wrong in this case
