my bikes... about time really

[johnnyh]

OK, my rides in no particular order...

The Old Raleigh that did many years up and down the river path...

My Giant Boulder, general use bike including pub runs

My Carrera, nicknamed Betsy...

And finally the new toy, the Trek nicknamed Scarlet!

looking forwards to the pedals arriving so I can get going with the Trek

nice paintjob on that trek- I was looking at one the other day.......

 

[badkitty]

"Scarlet" and "Betsy"? You total girl!

It's funny how you never mentioned their names before, Johnnyboy....but happily laughed at my talking about Bessie etc..

Scarlet looks like a harlot - very brazen and tarty. Betsy has more class and a bit of mystery about her. I can't believe you did the dirty on her.

You've gone over to the dark side, Mr H, without a doubt.

Now. A decent lunch will buy my silence. Possibly. Or at least my indifference.

 

[johnnyh]

hahaha oh I was expecting much worse

 

[bonj2]

what you doing with the carrera now you've got the trek - winterising it?

 

[johnnyh]

Kind of yes, I have a Topeak quik-lok rack and trunk bag with panniers, so I will fit that on there and use it for day to day. I'll be using it for the Exmouth Exodus and also for my 3 day 360 mile trip in June too as I will need to carry some stuff.

The old Raleigh sees hardly any time out now, but the Giant continues to be used for rides with the kids.

I guess the Trek becomes the "Sunday Best", although since it has been called a harlot and a brazen tart, I shant be riding it to church

haha yh, she needs a name though

 

[johnnyh]

Charlotte I reckon, Charlotte the Harlot - as in the Iron Maiden song from '88

Charlotte and Scarlet - is Charlotte a double or a triple?
