Its heavy but it did the job at the time and a few longer rides but is only a £99 special so I don't know how it'd last in the longterm as I only did 327 miles on it in May.

My Raleigh Royal at rest on the Canal Du Midi on Friday.

yeah I knew it would be a bit heavy but I work shifts and one of my shifts means the time I travel is right in rush hour so not allowed to take full size bike on my train so I'd only use it for 1 week out of the month

 

[bigjim]

Very nice! Are you riding down the canal, Jim, or just visiting a bit of it?

I flew into Paris and rode south to Beziers. Jumped a train a couple of times though as I was running short of time. That part of the canal is the Beziers end and takes you to the airport. I got back home on Friday.
This is the bike after crossing the the Loire.

OMG, pass the tissues please That's beautiful samid. I love the rear triangle.

My only citicism, and it's a constructive one, is you need to shorten the cables, way too much cable going on over the bars IMO.

Other than that (I'll even forgive you breaking RULE #26

 

[smokeysmoo]

Here's my Fuji Feather track bike. I bought her new and initially swapped the bars for standard drops with drop brake levers, then I went to the velodrome and fell in love, (even riding one of their million mile bikes).

As a result, The Fuji is now fully track compliant and ready for her first track outing on Friday 19th October

Easton EA50 bars, Kore stem, keirin grips, Stronglight chainset, SPD-R pedals, San Marco saddle, Conti GP4000s rubber. Wheels, seatpost and chain are all stock.

She's running 48:15 which equates to 86 gear inches.

Thanks. You're right, the cables ARE too long. My excuse is that I recently lowered the stem a bit, and also turned the bars up - this made the cables look wrong, I should shorten them now. (BTW, thanks for pointing me to rule 26 - will keep it in mind in the future.)
