mike do you have a fixed gear bike?

I've got a donor frame to make one But I've kinda decided against getting one, as it's just far too hilly down my way to really use one effectively

If I lived in London or somewhere flat I probably would though

i dont really understand them  thats why i was asking, is it so the pedals always go round even if your not pedaling?

Yep, whenever the real wheel's turning, so are the pedal's

There a lot of fun, and offer a really pure riding experience, but flexible and adaptable they aren't

If I could only have one bike, I'd get a Brompton folder in touring trim, as that would do everything I could ask of it

not sure if i could cope with that all the time, would be nice to try one day though

isnt a brompton folder what you have at the moment?

Nope, it's one I was hoping to get through the Cycle Scheme, but sadly because I work for the council I have to go through them, and there being investigate for fraud, so no Brompton for me unless I save up for one

Atm I'm running a Yuba Mundo, a Dawes Vantage and a Dahon D5

this is a bottle opener i got for my bday

made from an old shimano bike chain , not sure what the blue bit is though

[Screwtape]

very nice, does it work well?

[ryan1835]

it works really well,folds down so you hardly notice it in your pocket because of the chain , but when you want to use it makes a nice handle

Pictures of my new Schwinn-frame bicycle that my uncle restored and rebuilt; in addition to being the correct height for me, as compared to the mountain bike he built for me, this bicycle fits me to a T in terms of appearance and style; and yes, it's an eight gear shifter on it.









I tried to get a picture of the Schwinn emblem, but I've been trying all day to time out the pictures between the storms we've been getting, so it'll have to come later. ^^;

Cool  

I still need to get a bike.  I've been looking around at the car boots but so far nothing worth touching.
