    Well were talking Veloce 8 speed retro! (more the frame rather than the reused group set etc :@)

    I was thinking that, it wasted seconds of my time, shouldn’t they be expected to carry a ‘beware road bike content’ warning. Same for single speed and fixie folk.

    🙁 – well that’s 2 out of 3 – majority rules 🙂

    The fence is offensive, the lawn needs cutting and the steerer needs cutting 🙂

    Edit – some may also not like the stem angle 😉

    yeah but then you wouldn’t be able to afford the luxury pro gear would you – prioritizing at its best 😆

    That is a summer job which never happened.

    Those old coal sheds are coming out ready for a new MAN bike shed. No wimmins allowed

    Are them bars trying to camouflage themselves?

    saddle seat post and bars all different colours?

    if this was top trumps you’d have beaten ‘lawn needs mowing’ easily.

    Charge don’t make a green spoon saddle yet. And the red post was cheap and light. I will upgrade to a carbon post and bars soon. The bar tape is ace! I can be easily spoted in photos and it matches my cables.

    I would win as my tubs are not glued yet. So I can’t even ride them wheels.

    Angus, shouldn’t that have toe clips and straps to complete that touring bike from the late 50’s look?

    Just noticed the spacers under the stem on that CR1 !! There’s a good 50 gm to be shaved off there!
    And Angus has that touring bike, but no mud guards, road traditions and fashions have been abuse on this thread something terrible.

    I’m off to watch videos of Jens Voigt to cleanse my eyes.

    Now looking for a good deal on wooly tights with world champ stripes on the ankle. That should complete the 50s touring look. Not much carbon around then though.

    but at least it would match, what’s a little discomfort when measured against a matching saddle and bar tape? Sort yourself out. 😉

    If the scruffy white bar tape is aimed at me then how about the triple, two bottle cages and gps mount??!! Let alone the rider who wears baggies, mtb shoes and a small Camelbak. 😯 🙄

    I just don’t care!
