Here is my Sanderson Soloist with Speedhub (36-16) It gets sweeter with every mile.

Yes, like what youre already doing now, but without the duck tape.

Wombat: with those carpet tiles? I don't think so, girlfriend. :hand:

WTF?

Not mine tinsy, you know I'd never have flats or a silly bmx helmet.

😀

sorry, the posts were coming in fast I missed it… still looks a numangler.

i get a boy to bring my pump from the rear, he's a little chap but has plenty of puff-no bags necessary, wunderbar!

I think it's sad some people missinterpret the – apparently pejorative -use of the word 'gay' with some sort of underliying homophobia. It's not. If anything – it's the complete opposite. I think it's reflective of society's overall comfortableness now and general acceptance of all things gay – that 'gay' can become part of the cultural adjective lexicon. Describing something as 'gay' in this instance is simply pointing to more of an affectation or quality within it. It's not homophobia. For example, because of my inherent XC jayboy-ness, my riding on really steep rocky scary steppy stuff is positively 'gay' and I'm happy to admit that. 😉

Supercute – that Sanderson soloist is sick to the power of rad, man! Go for a Crank Bros minipump – it'll solve all your problems and they're a totally sick bit of kit too.. 😉

don't bother with a pump or mini tool… go hard core, and if something does happen.
well, at least you have a nice looking bike to push back to the car/home

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder… I'm glad I'm not the beholder of that bike…

Homophobic? Get over yourselfs you boring bunch of politically correct fun policing knobjockeys.

Oh, and Supercute- Seatpacks are a sign of someone not knowing what they're doing and are appaling things. Get a camelbak. This one's cool.

What utter bollox.

Your bike has a seatpost. You can stick all sorts of things up there, eg one of those ultralight pumps, and use a plug to stop them falling out. Also the inside of your handlebars is a good place to carry a puncture repair outfit.

Have you thought of fitting a basket?

No_eyed_dear, I think you're completely right to compare your timid style of riding to a gay person. Because that's what gay people are: timid, effiminate, a bit useless generally. I'd hire one to decorate my house but that's about it.

But I'm glad that this chap thinks the aesthetic pinnacle of the bicycle is a meh Taiwanese frame with shifter cables that could snare Vanessa Feltz.
