Would it be wrong to leave the reflectors on it when I race? ;-)

Here's my main ride/commuter/baby. It's a late 80's Raleigh 10 speed that I picked up at a yard sale a couple years ago for $30. I stripped it and put all new everything on it. The frame is the only thing original now. Fixed/Free wheel flip flop hub on rear. Nothing too special as far as the parts I used. The color scheme is to match my other ride, my MK4 VW GTI. I even painted it the VW factory silver to match. Ya, I'm weird.
When I had the original bars, saddle, and front brake:
Matching rides: (car now looks a little different now with R32 bumpers/badgeless grill/hood notch delete)
Now with the bullhorn bars and rear brake:
Also just ordered these bad boys. (bullhorns with a drop) Can't wait to get em on!
Happy riding y'all!0 -
Ok. Its been about four months in the planning but here is the new addition to my stable. :happy:
I want to get some slicks and slime tubes fitted, but the coffers are dry at the moment for that. I would also like to find a better place for the D-Lock, but it is doubled up as a place for my front light at the moment because there is not enough room on the handle bars. It has a set of tektro brakes fitted on the top too. :blushing:0 -
Can't believe nobody's passed comment on that bike mate - Have to admit to starting fancying a disk equipped non-racy 'crosser as my prospective winter bike... but at the moment I'm still sort of waiting for the springtime to kick in and get out riding the new bike on a regular enough basis to be able to decommission the Planet-X as a source of bits for the new build...
Generally it looks really good - though personally that saddle angle looks a little fierce - but, of course, if it works for you...0 -
I know what you mean about the seat. It does feel a tad uncomfortable at the moment, but I wanted to ride it in for a week or two just to be sure it was not discomfort as a result of switching bikes and the very different geometry. Was hoping to get a 50miler today, but I didn't want to take out the new bike in the gusty weather when I am still not 100% confident on it. The Nemesis has blown 2 spokes on the rear... must had its nose put out of joint with the new thorough-bred in the stable. Will take the dog out for a run whilst I put the mountain bike through its paces just to show my face on the Giro board later.0

I bought a Craigslist Univega Via Montega Last year, and liked biking so much I bought a 2013 Fuji Absolute 1.4...but I've never been able to upload pics. These damn things are addictive like crack...I'm thinking I need a road bike now.0

I currently have FIVE plus a spare frame and two spare wheel sets and endless other parts........
This is 'Cash' my 29er Single-Speed Cannondale. I upgraded to Avid hydraulic brakes and the front rotor is a 180mm piece.
My Ketstral is something of a Work-In-Progress - since I took this photo I put the Aero bars back on
Then we have my SE Draft - a Steel Frames Single speed, coaster-brake piece of fun..
The SE is going on a gradual diet at the moment already it has gained a lighter seatpost, better saddle and I have a crankset on its way....
Finally we have the twins....
Back in 1999 I got a Giant mountain bike and over many years replaced everything, before finally replacing the frame with an Access (Performance Bike) close-out-special frame ($99) in a size that was closer to my size than the Giant.
After building it and throwing a a pile of money at it (XT stuff and Avid brakes), I got a second frame for $49 !
This is the original - freshly washed and with brand new tires.
So I built the second one up as a city bike, groupset is all Shimano Deore on this one though and currently badly undergeared with a 2x10 setup.

Thanks for your help :flowerforyou:0 -
OOOOOO that transition is lovely.
I have always liked the look of the Turner 5 spot too. It's the frame I would look at when my Orange Five needs to be retired. I even have a Gravity dropper that would go into it as well.

I got my fill of purple anodised back in the 90's personally - after tying the third set of Kalloy Uno Bars in knots "just riding along" I decided enough was enough.
I think I've probably still got a pair of the old Ringle Mojo Brake Straddle Hangers in the bottom of the "big parts box" - a bit like these - only purple and scratched/scuffed/knackered (delete as appropriate!)

Just finished a 175 mile three day tour in western Washington State. The bike was originally a Diamondback Apex converted to touring for a round the world tour in 1988/1989. I've got a total of around 25,000 miles on it I would guess. Still going strong!!

^^^ breaks gawd knows how many of the rules... (seatpack, frame pump, spacers, cranks at odd angles, bottles in cages, dustcaps, Arc-En-Ciel when (to the best of my knowledge at least) you're not a current/former world road champion)
But I still like it :-)0 -
