Oooh, brilliant. There seems to be a picture of a bike with a Lefty fitted the wrong way round, so it's a Righty. Did I see that correct ?

How utterly refreshing! Can't wait for the next instalment.

Now suitably inspired to go for an hour in the garage and do a bit on the rear triangle of a too-long unfinished frame.

Damn, I thought I had the nicher than you category nailed with my folding recumbent fixed wheel penny farthing.

That's one of the most engaging interviews I've read.
Completely random and hilarious.

Mind my duck. 🙂

I saw a Dahon frame listed on an online shop for €30 the other day and now I'm wondering if I should have bought it 🙂

We should crowdfund the guys who made 'Faster than You' and 'I only ride Park' to make a video of this, would be excellent!

edit:

# I've got three wheels, you only have two?
I'm considerably nicher than you

my frame is made from walnut, yours is only bamboo?
I'm considerably nicher than you #

Listen people - I'm in tears of laughter at that interview.
If you enjoyed the Village Fete section - you really need to track down that "Arcadia" thing that I started a thread about. You will thank me. (it is on iPlayer, I just checked)

Niche? Ti Cargo bike anyone - or should we say: Catan titanium Cargobike, a lightweight Sport Utility Vehicle

Frame builders - finding novel ways of proving that Ti is often not the right material for the job since 1992ish.

Ti Cargo bike.

Dear Susan bikes are amazing. It's well worth following him on Instagram.

We need to organise a stupid bikes event when he gets back from the USA. I could bring Radbike and Purgatory CX singlespeeds.

I dunno, I admire his work, but don’t think we’d get on. Seems to be a lot of ‘I liked xyz before they were big/cool’. Really ramming the ‘I’m considerably more hipster than you’ vibe down your throat.

Fab. I do worry that all that time stood cutting and filing leaves the brain too much time to wander into weirdness 🙂

A work colleague is convinced all old welders go bonkers from a lifetime inhaling metal and staring at a little blue / green light....
