Looks good just (even with my head tilted!). Surly single speed??

[Hux]

Is it a cyclocross bike? You just carry it everywhere

The Van Nicholas would be nice - titanium for all weather no worries riding.

Tom is riding the ass off his Lynskey that is for sure. But riding fast in winter on the downs is the only way to stop your blood from freezing without doing an IV of vodka for antifreeze before hand.

I havent ridden in 2 weeks ....grrr work kids busy yardy yah yah

time to get going again....

[oncewasagolfer]

Did my first night ride last night on the mtb rode out to a mates 26 km each way about 6 km on rough corrugated gravel. Took one bottle of water and one of scotch and dry ginger for the half way stop took 2 hr 15 min total about an hour on the way back with a helping wind. Think I will need to invest in something better than the 5 led front light only gave about 3 metres of visibility.

Looked the right way before I attached, probably hit the wrong button. It's a Surly cargo bike:

The Van Nicholas is very tempting, as are some of the nice steel sportive frames I've checked out on the web.

.

What are you planning on carrying that needs that sort of wheel base? Golf clubs in a carrier or ??? Certainly an odd looking bike with that stretched rear frame.

[Eldrick]

that's what i was wondering Just.touring or commuting?

[just]

I bought it just to carry stuff around the neighbourhood like groceries, the kids, even took the wife for a spin on the back the other day. I got the frame around 3 years ago and slowly built it up as money and time allowed. Mostly I got it because I thought it was cool.

However in a post apocalyptic, post peak oil world where cars will be no more a man will still need to transport his bananas and this bike will do the job. You can never be too prepared.

Taken me a few years building up from a mix of of old and new parts but the Big Dummy is finally finished:Attachment 17037I can start looking for the next project now.

Never seen one of those before that's pretty cool.

Finally a ride today

Just 20km but felt great. First 5km was straight up hill. After the ride - had a coffee.

Nice dave1. Once you get the cycling bug it's hard to kick.

+1 for Titanium.

You are dead right Hux, my ride on Sunday morning was super fresh !

[goughy]

+1 for Titanium.

You suck

[BrisVegas]

only problem with Titanium is there is no real excuse for upgrading..... Mate of mine with a Lynskey is a shell of his former self now. All he can do is service/replace drivetrain stuff.... Sad really.

[goughy]

My two bikes have a combined age of 23. I'd happily take a tired old titanium shell. At least you can polish it up to look like new!

[just]

Brushed finish would look more Gucci goughy.

[Yossarian]

Did a short ride today, trying to work more hills in. Did about 8 ks in 25 minutes. Finished and had a glass of water.

Chilled? Filtered? Tap? Ozgolf demands to know

[Yossarian]

Tap. Out of a mug though, radical I know.

[TheTrueReview]

I have the start of a cycling bug but don't have a bike. I don't really know where to start re getting a decent bike without being financially raped or ending up with a cheap quality, heavy thing that I'll have to ditch within a couple of months.

I only want a racing style bike (nothing like a mountain bike etc).

Any advice about what to do, where to start?

Plenty of good advice there on entry level bikes.

I was wondering if there was something like that. Thanks.
