Lovely bikes on here! Makes me want to restore my fleet - starting with the orange elite; everything is there including carbon fibre pace elastomer forks. Retirement project!

Spot on.

I think that is a Wolf Blatter and Gripeson Gentleman's Perambulator, circa 1962.

Raleigh Twenty actually. We were dead poor and my mom was a single parent shift worker. I got one for Christmas so she could use it for work. I’ve over compensated ever since.

Last minute cycle to work special. I'm sure there are better/cheaper bikes but as my last carbon fibre road bike (Argos Ventura CP50) just got nicked I wanted something that could be delivered fast to cheer me up!



I'll finish setting it up and removing the reflectors this evening. Stuck a new pair of pedals on it and had a quick run around the block, it feels nice.

I've got nothing to contribute to any car threads (yet) but my word I've had some mountain bikes!

This is my current vessel. I've had it two years now which is unusual but there's nothing I'd like to really replace it with. It just gets better.



Pretty good bike:car wheelbase ratio when it's mounted on the girlfriend's Panda

Great bike mate.

Love the Geometron. I was torn between one or the Turner.

Part of my reasoning was that it might just get me to the bottom of the Mega with that head angle. then i realised I was fat weak punter and no amount of slack head angle or extended wheelbase and interesting seat angle would help me get to the bottom.

I have a zero 7 (picture above on this thread) that I got through eBay. It’s a nice enough steer

Thanks, not many people know what it is. Although I have seen someone snapping a picture while I was driving and I didn't know if they were a mountain biker or a Panda fan.

This isn't my picture but I did the Megavalanche on one of these in 2005. I thought it was a good bike at the time!
