Whilst I’m certainly not denying the phalic nature of the ‘seat mast’ that paint job certainly seems to make it look worse than the older ones:

Shamless thread hijack, but similar bike.

Njee

No, I meant the BB. Never could remove the play in the old frame, thought it was a bearing issue but when I replaced it, as mentioned, it dropped on the floor, play was between the outer bearing case and the inside of the housing in the frame.

Very happy with the upgrade, says made in USA on the seat mast / penis (as it will be now known by the looks of it) so it may be better build quality than the original far eastern job (if that’s where the original came from, guessing).

prefer more understated frame of teh 2nd one, but.. gold spokes? no.

what happens if you put gnar tyres on these bikes and thrash them?

That picture makes it look a lot like your garage has wood flooring.

So… pimp… 😯

Not so much a garage, sanctuary. Two daughters and a wife to hide from

all hail andybloomer’s man cave 😀

Pimptastic 😯

OMG silver and gold…

Oh my god I want your mancave. (phnarr)

That’s what it must be like being single!

I’m not single, I’m married with two kids. It was a condition of the recent house move that I have a double grange that I can convert in to a man cave and lab for testing clients. I’m a Uni lecturer in exercise physiology and do a bit of fitness testing for riders on the side, hence the ergometer…just in front of the beer fridge…alright, an imperfect exercise physiology lecturer.

I must say, this thread is a good way to introduce yourself as a newbie to a forum. I always said I wouldn’t bother again having left the time trialing world and their forum but well, you just can’t help yourself can you and forums are a great place to talk shite while your misses reads 50 shades of grey and gets moist.

Heres mine enjoy 😉

Fair enough, not seen that before I must say! Neither of mine have been super tight, but I’d not expect it to worsen, still, worked out for you!

50 shades of grey, sounds an interesting read…

these bikes look way too clean. I have an old Top Fuel, it looks nothing like that (no cock). So put a big riser bar on, big tyres, maybe a big fork to mess up the geometry nicely (“slacken it off”) and go thrash them in the woods. when they break, and if you’re fat they will, get Trek to replace (“JRA”). repeat.
they look seriously light and fun to throw around in inappropriate ways. if it’s too dirty to go in your man-cave, good. if those gold wheels get nicked, good too. 😉

It’s brand new but just had its maiden voyage around a wet Cannock. It’s no longer clean.

Mine’s been used plenty, just gets cleaned nicely afterwards!
