Confirmed - that bike is called a Handjob.
Looks like it would indeed give happy endings!
So, the rider isn't a w##ker... his [significant other] is? wink

smile Thats the only thing with Cove, the names are a bit....

I have a Cove Stiffee and a Huster too. I thought about taking the Handjob decals off to stop the strange looks, but the wife said the people are giving me the strange looks not the bike. wink

Got my first proper road bike today, a Cube Peleton Race. Only blasted 9 miles on it so far but loving it! It is pretty well specced for the money it seems. Shimano 105 everything, Mavic wheels, carbon fork.

Ignore the rubbish pedals, they are a temporary solution until I decide whether I am brave enough to clip in...

Get clips (confusingly called 'clipless pedals' despite their obvious click). It's easy on a road bike. MTB is where the real dilemma is.

Here is my new bike build, I'm sure it's not to everyone's taste but it's perfect for beach cruising, it's called my birch cruiser as the frame is made from laminated birch, all made by myself




And of course I had to have a wooden helmet to match

It needs some sort of laminated wood leaf spring on the front, seriously cool.

Can't remember if I've posted this before - my 'best' bike, which snuck out for commuting duty yesterday.

Cant wait to ride it!

Have been following n+1 for a while now.

From left to right of back to front:

Specialized progression with a child seat

Boardman single speed

Boardman CX team

Scott CR-1 with Zipp 303's





If you had told me a few years back that I would own 2 Boardman bikes I'd have laughed at you, but they are pretty good value.

Xsara VTS is a 306 GTi 6 in drag isn't it wink. How are you finding the CX Si? Reckon you'll use it for most riding throughout winter?

Only ridden it twice so far due to the rear mech being bent, but have really enjoyed it so far. Heading down to Moors Valley on it tomorrow night which should be fun.

Once the rubbish weather hits I'll put it on slicks and it will be my main winter bike for sure.
