New bike day in the OAB household - for meeee! (and eldest to do his paperound...)
It isn't glamourous - but being the first skinny bike I have owned since the age of 18, it feels *whoooooosh* fast compared to 2.3 knobbles....

What mudguards and rack for it?

For some reason I feel compelled to suggest you suspend a flaming hoop in the main triangle and train terriers to leap through it.

Nice one Matt. I attempted to go the sensible bike route and ended up with a 29+ Hardtail. It's good to see someone actually end up with what they wanted 🙂

I actually like your decking and the wall. Half arsed chic is the 2017 summer garden look.

Nice. I had Whyte Shoreditch, then a Cdale Bad Boy and now a BMC urban thang. Skinny tires make a great fun switch from the MTBs.

Half arsed chic tat belongs to recykabike in Stirling, my garden is far neater. *cough*

It does look and feel a gate, but it works. And cost £120. Mind you, I'm already working out if 34c tyres fit...

sadly they didn't have rack or mudguards in today.

I'm off to set up my commute as a Strava segment, and eye up Eurovelo routes.

You will also be relieved to know the stem is now slammed, and stem may yet get flipped. How do you ride so upright?
