Bought it from here last Sunday night (Thanks Martin) then stripped and rebuilt using some of my roadbike parts during the week then thrashed round the FOD today. Rides sweet and wheelies nicely too 🙂

Sheldona did you ride up at Staple Edge today? Did you try the "Lawnmower Trail"? Hows the FOD riding after all that snow?

Bikey, no didn't go over that way today. FOD is riding quite well at the moment, there are a few damp/messy sections though.

Swede, you ride a Roadbike on a Sunday when there's a trip to the FOD going and a Trek 69er some of the other times. YOU ARE NOT A CLOSET GAY you have full Blown GHEY and its terminal!

Bet you cant ride it on the drops with the levers there.....

Or does your belly hit the top tube before you can get on the drops anyway. 😛

what is with the angle of those bars?

and rather than compulsively buying bikes perhaps you should invest in a leaf blower, your garden is a disgrace!!

Clink, that looks sweet!

Bars may get moved at somepoint but I like the way they feel at the moment. Leaf blower, mmmmmmmmmmm I'll see what I can do!

We used to have the bars at that angle on our old 5 spd racing bikes back in the early '80s. 😉

Nice 29er there sheldon. Do your feet touch the ground before your belly touches the top tube though? 🙂
