When did you get a Brompton??

A couple of weeks ago! Wanted one pretty much since I first saw one about 12 years ago... Finally felt I had the spare cash, and Ebay did the rest...

I remember you wanting one , but I missed you buying one! Congratulations, welcome to 'the fold'

Cheers! I mentioned it in the Tea thread (hence some people's rolling eyes...), but haven't got round to bragging across the whole forum yet....

I rode it into work today, longest ride on it (3 miles) since I got it. Felt great!

For a few days, I felt strangely complete. Almost as if N+1 had ended.

But today I've been reminded that I want a bamboo bike, so that's ok again....

Really? Don't think anyone noticed

With all this talk of toy bikes I've forgotten what the topic is or when the cut off date is

How about a bamboo Brompton?

If you got bored with it you could put it outside and grow flowers up it. Or peas. Or beans.

oooooh! How exciting. I really don't know... gosh. I mean, I hadn't got a speech or... Anyway, I'd like to thank my Mum, and Andrew Ritchie, and... oh gosh!

Right. This is a theme I've had in my head since this thread started, but hadn't ever won before...

Decay. It seems rather appropriate, sadly, but interpret it how you will - natural, urban, just plain rust. Including a bike, of course, but the bike needn't be decaying.

Does it have to be your own bike in the shot?

No, I think the rules are any bike, or even a representation of a bike. I'll accept any bike shaped object, as long as the pic is taken for the challenge.

 

[coffeejo]

Not my bike, I hasten to add!

 

[Arch]

Good stuff. I realised I forgot to set a date. End of the month perhaps, to let people use the Bank Holiday weekend?

I've not been in tea for ages!!

Fantastic news!

Now my inevitable question to every new bike owner - what is it's name and is it male or female?
