[Closed] Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...............

you need to patch that lawn

Weeds
Lawn
Tyres/rim logos
Different colour brake hoses
On One

Fail

that's a tree stump not a patch, lawn is showing signs of drought as i live in the south and we have summers.

That strange wooden LH crank arm looks interesting.

Tyre - logo alignment
Lawn condition
Weeds on path
Length of front brake hose
Bench needs a varnish
Angle of cranks unsuitable for a picture

Nice otherwise 🙂

Get out it's a sunny day!

we'll need pics of the other bikes if we're to assess the quiver/fleet as a throbbing, gnarly whole

(and I bet that used to be a lawn once)

Ooh, mis matched brake hoses - FAIL

Holy simultaneous flame 🙂

Some cable sorting and you are there. My blue 456 frame has just been delivered (5 minutes ago) and cant wait to get it built.

silver hose is intentional as an accessory to the silver fork.

get with it girlfriend.

Do you live under that tarp behind the bench ?

no i live under this bridge

Flat bars? Sure they work well but look wrong to me.

You live in the south 😉

(I do too but the north is better)

Needs pink bar ends.

or maybe some of these ?

chain too short?

chain has been precision calibrated to reduce unnecessary unweighting, excessive slap and critical mech de-tensioning on those long, mega technical, trail centre raids.

That bench looks too big for one person and too small for two.

Headset spacers. Do you need them above and below the stem?

Nice colour frame. Bars/forks/stem etc clash a bit. Would white components look better? (As you're in the south I assume you don't have mud).

It's Pink! We do not want or need this sickness. 🙂

Hhmmm. Pink.

Nice bike.

🙂

If your throwing that light away coz it's pink I'll have it 😉

Loving the bike 😀

Lipseal.

It was a one-off, with a view to possibly doing a short run/special Edition, yadda.

I really like the way it turned out and has kind got me looking at pink for bikes and components.

I was thinking of a grey frame with pink components, H/S, hubs and that.

But seeing TrailMonkey's bike does make me think about my next bike build.

Some of that CK stuff in pink looks quite good.

Well done that TrailMonkey 😀

Luminous, there's an amazing looking Maverick out there somewhere with (I think) a pink floral on grey paintjob and pink Hope components. I'll have a wee hunt to see if I can find it.

Edit: .."to see if I can find a picture of it!"

I like some of that pink camo print you see on stuff.

Wonder if you could get a frame painted up in pink, white and grey camo.

*starts to think about how a pink camo bike would look*

whats in the blue plastic barrel?

Realman.

I should have known theres nothing new under the sun.

Good find though. Like I say, food for thought.
😉

Edit:

I've just looked at TrailMonkey's second picture. Looks like a mini version of one of my local beer gardens.

I can see it now. As the sun sets, supping an ice cold beer, sitting on the bench looking at your new build bike after a ride.
Cool.

just took it for its maiden voyage. not liking those wide flat bars. just don't suit my style at all. oh well, i tried it. going to pop the easton monkeys back on and see how they feel.

other than that, its a bit of a thug but that should suit my particular brand of clumsy trail manners.

well done and thanks to the cycleguy, shinythings of this parish, for his patience and expertise on the build 8)

Looks like a lot of fun! 😀 any bike is better than a couch + TV 💡
