Show us your bike being worked on in your kitchen

A kitchen seems perfect to me, warm,near the kettle and toaster why use anywhere else.

The lounge would be warmer and nearer the tele.

An old clubmate told me an amusing story. He set up his turbo in front of the tele and did his training session in the lounge. When he had finished, he turned round and to his horror, the wall behind had been sprayed with dirt/oil from his tyre.

And the carpet is a perfect oil collector DAMHIKT.

Was indulging in a little light bike fettling in the kitchen last night. Senior Management was out so it seemed like an ideal opportunity. I was a good boy and carried out all the mucky work - degreasing the chain etc in the garage. However the kitchen struck me as the ideal venue for a gentle rub down with a damp cloth - that's the bike, not me ...

I've got a whole spare room for fettling, a living room too
Never in the kitchen, that's my and BigCat's food area

I service both of mine in the kitchen in winter.

My wife is fine with it, spent a fair few hours tiling the walls and floor and fitting the kitchen units etc so it's all good!.

Looks like it doesn't it?! Nah, I was t-cutting the paintwork.

Gettting ready to fit the lights, pump, bottle cage & saddle bag to the new bike.
The lines betweeen the floor tiles are also handy to line wheels up on when making sure that the handlebars are set straigt if any changes have been made!

Ain’t you finished that bike yet?!

Ain’t you finished that bike yet?!

I know, I know, it's taking me a long time, but it is my first one and I'm learning a lot as I go. My next plan is to take it to the local custom paint shop and get some colour matched touch up paint.

Finished making the pedals for my 130 odd year old Junior Ordinary,a bit cold to work in the shed this morning and with Mrs P being at the gym I took the opportunity to work on the bike in a warm kitchen

Some brave folk on here I once fit a new tyre in the kitchen whilst Mrs SD was out, but I'd never take a picture incase I got found out
Although a couple of years ago when I started turbo training in winter I was allowed in the lounge, but it was far too warm for me, prefer the garage.

I took apart an SA 3sp hub in the kitchen. I did put a rug down first.
