And some, like the one pictured look just wrong. Sorry. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😯
it's not murdered out 🙁
That's the worst shand I've seen yet!
Needs a ti post and ti flat bar, rim decals removing and a steel bottle cage. But yes, the frame is nice.
I'd vote 'right'. It's a custom, always personal taste stuff but I like it. And I really like their new logo.
Nice retro deep bush.
Bryan's riding this in the Cairngorm Loop this weekend. Looking forward to finding out how he gets on. You're right about the seatpost BTW. It was specced with an Eriksen Sweeptpost which seemed to get lost somewhere over the Atlantic! We supplied the frame and he's used parts he already had.
Not sure about the white rear. Bush is all kinds of nice.
"Like"
* sort that seatpost out though.
That's the sort of bush you'd jump into when on the way home, p*ssed from the pub..

a bike built for a purpose, rather than one built to follow marketing bollax.
what is not to like........... 8)
Dirty front wheel detracts from an otherwise good pic
Does remind me of a badger though.
Looks like somebody borrowed some wheels from their older brothers bike and the forks have lost half their travel.
Did they run out of paint too?

I ordered one March 24 and it turned up last week. So just over a month. Dodged import duty/etc...
Is it a bush or a hedge?
I think it's a bush. Or actually bushes. It's not forming a boundary so I reckon that stops it being a hedge. Unless there's some porn mags stashed under it, in which case it's deffo a hedge.

What's with the hybrid wheels?

Some bikes just look right....
They do, unfortunately, not this one though...
Just my onions 😉
In that photo above, I thought the name on the frame was Kona
Lose the bottle cage and scrub the front tyre with a wire brush so that it matches the rear.
It reminds me enough of my 29er to say I like it 8)
Although I'm not a fan of the bottle cage either.

I suspect he's not worrying too much about trying to get the new rear tyre to match the old rear one.

You mean....he's...RIDING it?!? *shudders* Filthy habit, that. Certainly not cricket with this forum. 😉

I know. I tried to talk him out of it but he was pretty insistent. Doesn't even have an Audi.....
