Looks good Eldudino, but your forks are back to front

Stupidly, I looked at the photo to check!

Grass needs a cut

Nice bush and that park bench did you use knotti.....hang on, here we go again.

good work, looks as good as new, hope she rides as well as she looks.

I've already had a compliment on my neatly trimmed bush elsewhere!

I know it's a winter bike but it must be boring as everyone's more interested in the background

Good to have another Kinesis rider! They are great frames and yours looks good in the white.

So did you get the frame from a well know Glasgow LBS?

Afraid not, it was a certain little known Hampshire LBS who had a great deal not to be missed! It's now got mudguards fitted, took a while as the stays needed trimmed (angle grinder ) but they look smart. I'll get a pic up tmrw.

Ah, fairy nuff.

So, dare you take this pristine specimen out in the rain and muck!?

It's built with the sole intention of taking it out in the rain 'n muck! I like keeping my bikes clean so this will be easier to spot the dirt!

Ok, I've finally managed to take some pics of the bike with the mudguards on and new bars (compact drops). I re-wrapped the bar tape and I'm mega pleased with the result, and of the whole bike! It's lovely to ride and I can't believe I built the thing up!

I've also chosen the nondescript background of our back office/bike storage room to save the usual comments!

You might have cleaned your down tube! Filthy!

Nice whiteboard, a genuine Nobo if I'm not mistaken.

Do you use different coloured dry markers or just plain old black on the board ??? Not sure about the wallpaper though



Oh and i like the bike

 

[eldudino]

Not sure about the wallpaper though

I actually thought that'd pull in the most compliments, I don't know where it came from! It's a room that we use for a bit of storage so the cyclists in the office who've both got new bikes recently (me and the other guy) use it to keep the rides safe. I do agree though, it is horrid wallpaper.

And is that a Wickes aluminium door handle on the door behind the bike?
