My work bikes
Depending on weather I either ride my bmx (dry bike), based on a Metal Rebel Contender frame.
Or a single speed (wet bike) I built up from a free F&F from a friend and parts being thrown away at the bike shop where I work. Free stuff rocks! the frame is a Saxon Sprint, has anyone heard of them before?
Cheers

I am going to change the handle bars for some risers because the current bars have been cut to 19.5" and are too narrow for me.
(note the retro 'Cool Tool' on the floor!

what a dog! (No offence meant, honest.) You are, however, using the best pump in the world. Zefal hp-x. I have three in sizes 1,2 & 3. Two of them are probably 15 years old & still working fine. Several plastic pumps were been binned before I discovered these beauties.

Sorry folks, someone had to list one.
But wait, this aint you're average Brompton. I bought this new as just a frame due to the poor quality of the standard Brompton finishing kit then just added crap from the shed. The eagle-eyed amongst you will spot XT chainset, XTR V-brakes, she also boasts Hyperlite bars, Dura-Ace chain, alloy jockey-wheels, homebrew carbon fibre seat-post, semi-rancid Brooks saddle all finished off with blue-anodised ch/set bolts.
Yeah, yeah, I know, no big deal but we have to use these in London as non-folders aren't allowed on the trains during peak hours.
