Beautiful machines there!

 

[welshwheels]

that guvnor is nice is it practical ???????

 

[MacB]

very nice, beautiful (except the saddle), is the shifter also consistent with the colour scheme?

Darn, I think I may have to go for that, oh and I changed the forks to Salsa unicrown steel 29er ones so that I can fit proper mudguards if I want. But I do have future desires around some suspension forks, black and red of course.

Anyone need a set of On-One carbon rigid 29er forks almost unused?

No-one said what type of hub geared bike!

Actually my wifes.

Is that your homebuilt Crescent Jezston? I missed the finish of that build. It looks ace!

Sorry only just noticed your reply. Thank you!

'Crescent'? I'm not sure what you are referring to.

Some very nice looking bikes in this thread. I especially like the look of yours, Jezston, you've done a fine job with it! Unfortunately the first couple of posts make me regret buying a Pompetamine Versa Pro over the Day 01, but you live and learn I guess

Hi Night Train. I have just got one of these, I was hoping you might be able to tell me what the plastic knob on the handlebars is supposed to do?

Ahhhh, the infamous plastic knob!

It is supposed to be a quick release for the quill. If you undo it a few turns and knock it downwards the bars will be able to turn sideways for more compact folding.
I am not sure if it should release the bars to flip forward/backwards though. It looks like it ought to but mine feels like it is seized or brazed in place. If it is free to move it might make the fold a little more compact.
