Work bikes

Most days I will ride my fixed wheel converted '77 Gazelle. I found the frame as a complete bike in the trash before the garbage men had a chance to take it. The bike was a mess, the paint was in terrible shape and the components had corroded and seized. I had a spare fixed wheelset that was collecting dust so I took all the unsalvageable and un-salvage-worthy crap off the bike and installed the wheels and some other parts I had, and it became my main bike. The picture was taken just after I converted it, I installed a front brake shortly after. I haven't touched up the paint and never cleaned the bike after I built it up so I'm pretty confident leaving it locked up outside (only during the day, with 3 locks). All in all a great bike, I probably put more miles on this than any of the other bikes I currently own.

That's a very nice looking fixie.

On da nice sunny days, I ride this...............

2005 GT ZUM, up specced to mainly XT, fast n light and bright red (the most important thing!)

On rainy days and shopping days, it's the Old Mingin' Marin

My home village of Greetland my friend, Halifax West Yorkshire, is it were you was thinking?

it's either the Prestige or the 8900 at the moment....

my Commuter

I've been commuting on a ('95?) Jamis Durango. It isn't pretty, but it gets me back up the hill after work, and I don't worry about it getting stolen or dinged or whatever. It's mostly built up from whatever i had laying around, but I do like the red Odyssey A-brakes(now matching front and rear) and Serfas Lola saddle.

edit: a picture!
