Some motivation to get back in shape.

Good luck

Not to be left out.



The paint job reminds me of old school Konas. And a bit of a ride by shooting!



The problem with this site is that I still have two bikes hanging around...



And my Charge that donated it's wheels to the London Rd.



That's not counting the two that are still in my Father-in-laws shed. I really need to have a purge.

The latest iteration of my 70s (?) Claude Butler frame - brought on by the gear cable sawing through the corroded frame lug. Banging in a spoke nipple as a cable run worked for a while, but I was looking for an excuse to go single speed as an experiment....

For flat commuting and mild hills - perfect for York!







Cheers,
Tom

How are you getting on with the flared handlebars? I can see the advantage of width for technical trails but for those I'd want to be fingers on brakes, have just ordered a set of FSA omega compact to replace my OEM

Here's mine a Carbonbike handcycle.

Carbon frame and forks with Shimano xtr Di2

Correct me if im wrong, it looks like both crank arms point in the same direction? is that correct?

[geoffrp]

That's correct

May I be rude in the extreme and ask how much a hand cycle like that costs?

I haven't ridden it yet... it is still out of the shed though. So you never know, it might venture outside soon!

It is - reduces strain on the shoulders and makes for a smoother more efficient stroke as you're not twisting your body.

Interesting, so on which section of the rotation do you produce power?

I.e. a foot on a pedal is pushed down, but you dont really pull up (clipped in)

on this do you push away and pull towards you to make the power?

[JustinF]

It's like rowing rather than breast stroke, lets you use your core as well as your arms from what I can see.

Got myself a yeti to replace the very old Specialized FSR Enduro

Had its 1st muddy outing on Saturday. Well chuffed with it.

New bits fitted, Q Rings, pedals etc. Still awaiting bar tape but wanted to post.

[MonkeyHanger]

Rubbish photo but the outside light went pop just as I finished nailing it together....

Final adjustments & test ride in the morning, weather permitting

[option click]

Finally finished building my Klein today - a year-long project.

It's a mixture of Athena, Chorus, Record and Super Record 11sp
Speedplay Zero stainless pedals
Mavic CC SLS

I've only just done a short setup ride, but can't wait to go for a proper spin on it.

[Magic919]

Very pretty Klein.

[JustinF]

That paint is amazing.

My winter ride (fixie) after a few more upgrades. Love riding this bike even on short 8/10%s.

Why would you name a wheel brand ellipse?
