Certainly felt like it whilst riding/trying to take it down a steep snowy spiral staircase whilst drunk

I don't blame you for getting drunk at the thought of riding it home.

Was lols but the woman isn't seeing the funny side.

Drunk on a stolen rubbish bike and im the deluded one

 

[Reality|Bites]

Did you steal it or something then bring it back in the morning?

 

[ichabod crane]

How dare she say its rubbish, thats a Scottish classic right there!

 

[weescott]

To be honest Jonny; It's probably not the best way to get new customers. lol

Aye it's pretty pathetic. You ought to see a work night out tbh.

I took it from the close of a flat I had been at a party in after the pub. It was a friend of a friend of a friend of a friends...so they weren't amused and I put it outside the flat with a lock on it and got the code for the lock passed onto the person(Couldn't face them).


You gotta ride something pish to realise how good a nice bike rides tbh. Go try it.

I added an extra link as I noticed earlier when back-pedalling I was getting some chain suck, alright now

If I ever need reminding of how a nice bike rides I just go for my weekly visit to Ichabod Crane's mum.

You definitely need more gold chains

Looks great, what bar & stem combo is that?

Cheers, Truvativ Stylo World Cup bar and stem. Thinking of swapping the bar as I prefer a riser.

Too many blonde moments going on, first I ordered the wrong Ti seatpost for a new build, then I wanted to convert another bike to 1x9 as the crank was needed elsewhere. Swapped my SS crankset onto it and bought a lightweight chainguide during the week. Came to fit the guide and the lower suspension bracket is in the way as it mounts on the seat tube...doh

Looks like the bars have slipped, I think.

 

[Jonny ///M]

Aye the bars spun whilst I was putting the bit doon.

They got the bike back + a new lock + free service by me

All sounds very expensive. When will it be fully built?
