    First time out with the new rims last night and yes, the sarky comments were flowing. And that was in the dark.
    Anyone other than me like them?

    Is that a canoe outside your shed, or are you just pleased to see me?

    It actually works very well for me, but then arses are like fingerprints, every one slightly different.

    I hope you have a cockpit cover on that canoe, you’ll get all manner of creepy crawlyism otherwise…

    for that bell, you’re forgiven the gopping wheel/frame combo 🙂

    There’s a saying about blue & green, isn’t there?

    I like the rims………….just not on that bike!!

    But it’d be a bit dull, especially on here, if we all liked the same stuff. If it works in your head, it works.

    I like the green blue combo. Not the mudguards though.

    i’d say neither really. i quite like it, but it’s not that bling.

    It’s the sort of colour combination all of us should own at some point:

    It looks like a bike that’s been put together for riding, not showing off in a trail centre carpark (or in daylight).

    Glad you like it MostlyBalanced..!

    Perhaps I should have used the title “Spritebike or Shitebike”

    Hi Keith – Its Ash

    Out of all the really bad bikes you have owned or still own this is by far the worst – if thats possible 😆

    Blue and green rock!

    Now get yourself some turquoise grips.

    yeah,but the one above is all linked.logos on frame,chainring,rims,headset spacers,lock on collars,logos on fork.
    besides it’s a different shade of green.
    tonal range is completely different.
    having said that,I think it looks allright.
    maybe a yellow handlebar.and red grips.just go for it.
    where did you get the bell?
    still trying to find that floating eyeball bell.
    the on one ladybird one is nice too.

    I used to have blue Azonic DW bars that would have gone perfectly with those rims. Quite like them!

    For me, that’s a bit minging. However, that Scott above, that was in Fastfoxus looks amazing!

    I kind of like it. And it looks like a fun bike to ride.

    I can’t get past that mudguard myself 🙁

    Yes it would look better without the mudguard, but at this time of year I’d look a lot worse without it.

    With fat tyres and a relatively upright riding position it’s really good for chugging through the slop we get down here through the winter. Certainly not a race bike but a very good ‘keeping going’ bike.
    To my mind it’s the perfect winter bike; simple, solid and with enough personal touches for it to be MY winter bike.
