I've progressed from lurker to member

[Nike]

Hello all

I moved to the UK over ten years ago and after a few times using the London transit I started commuting on a beat up but loveable old bike that served me well. And that was when the love affair started.

For the past ten years I've mostly been a tourer/commuter/recreational rider and now I'm considering 'racier' rides.

I've always used the online forums as a source for information and so looking forward to being a member and maybe going on some rides!

Thanks,
Nicki

Hi Nicki

Welcome to CC, Nike!

There is plenty of opportunity for forum rides with the large London chapter of CC, suitable for all levels of experience and competence.
You will be mostly judged on your cake-eating skills.

Hope you enjoy your cycling and foruming.

Hi Nicki and .

What bike are you riding Nicki (just curious/nosey)

Hi nosey
I use my kona honky tonk to commute with and my pinarello fp1 for rides in richmond or outside of London.
But i've cracked the pinarello, slightly, and looking to replace the frame with something that's compatible with the group set.

What do you ride?

Hi Nicki and .

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Love the Kona Honky its an amazingly cool looking bike, really like them a lot.
I'm less of a fan of Pinerello as a brand even though I can be found on a pink Giro Dogma think 2 on occasion for my sins. I have a few bikes but I'm basically known as a bit of a specialized fan boy particularly a fan of the Venge.
