Ride to work every day?

What's your ride, this is mine, a bit over the top, but then never mind!

Have 2. One an old Union traditional Dutch bike, very sweet. The other is a pink 1990 Panasonic MC4500 with 'Fat City Cycles' stickers all over. Pink so nobody wants to steal it. No pics yet.

I don't ride every day, just when i can be bothered during the spring/summer months. This is my weapon of choice and its overkill for the job in question.

I really like that Agency, if ever there was a 'Q' bike, then that is surely it. :lol:

Here's my commuter, gets the thumbs-up from the little grommets on their Saracens, apparently there are less than 30 of these in the UK....

What is a Kona Kaboom?

Is it a jump bike or one of those "Hoss" type hardcore bikes?

Hi Jez,

It's a mixture of the two! the Kaboom was Konas first serious single speed bike (not including the a-ha and humu cruisers), for the first couple of years it was XC based but in 2001 they tried to aim it at the jump bike crowd but it wasn't a great success......they then bought out the Unit

I wanted it because I liked the bad-ass black colour

Cheers
Stu

My commuter / shop / runaround bike based on a P7 frame

I leave the mudguards on even in summer as I reckon it makes it less attractive to scumbag thieves.
