Bike is all back and fixed! Absolutely love it. Will probably do about the same amount of miles I rode it for before breaking it this week alone

 

[{SAS}TB]

Not a fraction of the cost, style or spec of the majority of the bikes in here but decided to compliment my MTB with a cheap and cheerful roadbike for getting some miles in


Hoping for her maiden voyage tomorrow

Looks good, but you've photographed the wrong side

 

[{SAS}TB]

Thanks Ha ha, was waiting for that (and / or wrong ring )

And the other side

 

[Vonhelmet]

Claris groupset? I used that on my winter bike for a year or so. So good for the price you pay for it.

Need to twist those handlebars down. That angle does not look comfy.

 

[BennyC]

Never mind the bars, the kitchen sink hanging from the saddle needs to be removed

 

[Vonhelmet]

Now now, play nice

TB can bring the toys in his seat mounted suitcase

It wasn't too bad on the maiden voyage (40 miler) but was more getting used to being on a road bike after my MTB, yes the bars (and other stuff) needs adjusting and tweaking

Never mind the bars, the kitchen sink hanging from the saddle needs to be removed

Ha ha - where else do I carry my camera, snacks, multitool and other things I may need (im used to MTBing with a rucksack!!)

:O

Quick clean after yesterday's ride, ready for the week ahead




Find it incredibly satisfying cleaning the chain and cassette, seeing it go from dirty to shiny shiny. Simple things...

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

Bike at the top of a pretty epic climb. Sea level to just under 4500ft.

Early doors 30 miler thus morning and a quick snap from the top of old pale in Delamere

Recently purchased a Turbo Trainer as i cant get out through the week, wasn't happy having keep mounting and un-mounting my best bike, so have been on the look out for a cheap bike for a few weeks.

Came across this in the locals for a good price , never been rode, needed a wheelset and new stem which I already had.

So now I have a Turbo bike, I would commute on it but its so easy getting into a warm car in the morning, i find it hard to motivate myself.



Was originally going to sell those wheels to cover the cost of the bike and just get a cheap front wheel for use on the turbo, but I think they look quite dandy on it. so I'm torn now.

I bought this a few years ago, but never built it. I still need to cut the cables, which I'll do once I'm happy with the setup.

Those bars look very compact!

 

[Vonhelmet]

I think it's the angle - the bike is leant away from us.

 

[topgun06]

They're listed as shallow drop bars here: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/road/product/review-beone-storm-09-34093/

I think they are compact, I much prefer compact bars. But the angle emphasises it.

Colour might not be to everyone's taste...

 

[{SAS}TB]

Very nice, I like it
