My new cargo bike, Almost finished, progress has rather slowed as I managed to saw my thumb off with a circular saw last week and I am in the process of recovering after a 4 hr operation to re-attache it. Luckily it was the left but good job i prefer shimano shifters on the road bike, and that my MTBs are 1x10











Last shot demonstrating the 100kg load capacity

That's nice, although I don't know why it's hiding.

Klein Quantum looks mega.


Gave the old girl a bit of a spring clean.

Well i got my new frame yesterday, got it built up this morning. went out on a local 20mile loop. and it is an absolute riot on the fast steep stuff. Although i do have a long way to go tuning the CaneCreek DB Air CS. Cant wait to thrash it at the PMBA in Grizdale!

Here's my latest build, wanted to try 650b from my 5+ years on 29ers.




Its an Ican S7, 150mm front and rear but not for long, putting some Pikes on in black as according to the wife the white forks dont look right.

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.









Wow wow wow

Looks amazing. I remember looking at these in my Lbs many years ago! Congrats on finding a frame in such great condition!

Very jealous.

Tri bike had to give up her cranks for my road bike, wiggle New Forest Sportive tomorrow and my old crankset wrapped their tits in yesterday, classic.

Means Quintana is getting treated to something new though

Not many people ride them, it's not Adams old one is it?

Lovely frames, would really like a go on one!

I got it from new. I think they sold 3 from new, mine being one of them. You don't really see any Neil Pryde bikes out - despite all the positive reviews - which is one of the reasons I chose one. I wanted something different to the default choices.

Around a year after I bought it the prices fell dramatically, with Wiggle flogging them off around 50% cheaper than RRP. They were appearing on eBay until quite recently for knock down money.

If I was closer to Derby you'd be welcome to try it.

It's much, much more comfortable with the new wider wheels and running the tyre pressure at 80 psi Vs the Ultegra wheels and a tyre pressure of 100 psi.
