my new bike

[mickle]

Why can't I ride anything normal?!

Not entirely happy with the bars and stem :-/

 

[jefmcg]

Love the chain guard

 

[raleighnut]

I'd be happier with at least one brake on the handlebars.
Nice bike though.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Looks as chunky as all my bikes
Don't forget to fit front brakes
Nice colour scheme.

Nice..... What is it?

Why can't I ride anything normal?

The stems original it seems, LINKY, just the bars have been changed and the guards are A.W.O.L.

I've never been one for no brakes, (I know this is a coaster), but as I doubt it's ever going to reach warp factor anything I'd be happy to leave it as is TBH, I'm sure the coaster brake will suffice.

Stem is hand made, like the fork, by Rollo Lunn of Grim cycles. 11/8" quill is acceptable but 31.8mm bar clamp doesn't suit the bike. I took the fenders off just to see how it looks. Thinking about a sturmey drum up front too...

Is it a bamboo bike? Nice one!

 

[mickle]

Drop bars, like a path racer..

Drop bars, like a path racer..

Butterfly bars (moustache bars) would look stunning.(or upside down 'North road' bars)

 

[mickle]

Mock up, needs an inch to inch and eighth quill stem shim.

 

[mickle]

Yay!

 

[jefmcg]

Handlebar looks much better, but what's happened to the lovely chainguard and pedals??

 

[Crackle]

Is it a hybrid?

Is it a hybrid?

You bloody bustard.
