Gin & tonic

Mine is simple - Mountain Biking full stop. Just started riding on a more regular basis and it's great just being out there. I do have a soft spot for Orange Mountain Bikes though

i don't think i have an irrational love of anything bike related, i've been sitting here thinking about this and every thing i think of has a reason behind it. :?

only irrational thing i can think of is related to a particular girl i know, irrational coz it'll never happen.

is that deep thinking?
fyi, i have been drinking!

Bullseye cranks!
They can come loose, you need all sorts of spacers to fit them and they use an imposible to find bottom bracket - but after 13 years and 4 bikes it must have something going for it.

Oh and they look cool

My toolbox and contents, specifically allen keys my dad gave me over 10 years ago.

Well organised garage work space.

The smell of WD40.

Anything made of titanium.

Flites and Brooks saddles.

The look of carbon fibre (and very occasionally its application).

 

[Radar]

a clean and tidy bike loo*, scented with the smell of GT85.












* can't stretch to a shed or workshop, have a stone built outside loo which has had the loo removed and I fitted racks to store three shiny velocipedes in vertically. Dobbing great chain and padlocks stretch through all three frames and attach to wall anchors
