@Cycleops , a gentleman never tells!

I paid 50% more than she was asking as the money was going to a local cancer hospice that looked after a very good friend of mine before he passed away.

Cycling karma will also make intermittant donations the more i use it. Seems only right.

@uphillstruggler nice bike. I restored its long lost sibling earlier in the year http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/unstoppable-peugeot.159562/

Dunno Ian. Not clever enough to understand these things really. What I do know is, it seems to fit me perfectly and it's extremely comfortable to ride so I can only guess it's a case of function over form eh?
Anyoldhow, I quite like the slightly quirky look. I gather it's a bit of a Thorn feature.
Cheers.

Sorry, no disrespect meant. I have seen other Thorn's with lot's of spacers.. but your's tops the lot.
If it's extremely comfortable for you to ride, then that's all that matters.

Hi guys,
Here's my steely stan pike 531. I'm actually going to sell it - I love my lynskey sportive more :'(

What is a reasonable price would you say?

It's got a new Chorus chainset, chain, veloce cassette. 2003 chorus shifters, campy hubs with newish open-pro rims. Brand new Brooks titanium swift saddle. Cinelli bars and campy daytona mechs and brakes.

What are your thoughts? There are 13 more pics - just click it.

Still for sale?

The elswick taking winter in its stride. Filthy. But solid as a rock.

Hmmm...

Not sure how this will fit in with all these retro beauties, but here goes...

First decent ride out today...



I cant get over how quiet this thing is. Im sure if it had slicks it would be close to silent... except uphill. The bikes still quiet but I make a fair bit of noise, she is a bit hefty!*

I love the sound of my Roubaix with Zipps "Zimmming" along, but this silent thing is good too! Is it normal for steel to be a quiet ride?

*I should also add... Im a bit hefty too.
