Who did your cables? Wild Bill Hickock?
Beautiful frame though, black rims for me. Looks like a bike for great adventures.
lovely colour frame - what colour is it?
Its a Gentlemans ( or old mans 🙂 adventure bike. Classic with everything silver The rohloff needs a big loop of cable as do the funny bars - but not that much.so that will need a tinker.
Stem was a last minute thing - the one I supplied from the tandem was the wrong clamp - its a bit long and low. Might try flipping it
Nasty cheap pedals just for the ride home - needs some silver one. Needs mudguards as well

what colour is it
294 from the colour chart IIRC.
I’ve never welled up over a bike before
I also want that wall map, where from?
That's an ace colour - and I love the Julie badge. ❤️

OS 1:250000 they dont do it as a flat or that edition any more

black rims for me.
told you it would divide opinion. I wanted something classic looking so all finishing kit silver hubs to headset
What size frame is it, and what height are you these days ?
even just on a pootle home along the canal it rides lovely and very comfy. Saddle needs to be replaced and a bit of tinkering with the bars / cables
I am delighted with it
Cheers TJ, having difficulty finding one that isn’t £££

Medium as I am medium sized - 5' 9 3/4"

Map? BUy the 3 sheets as folded, iron them flat and paste to the wall with wallpaper paste. I did a set for my dad recently
told you it would divide opinion
Theres only one that matters
I am delighted with it
👍
Will speak to you another time about that…. For now…. bike!
The agonies I went thru deciding a colour! Decision making is hard enough anyway but had a choice of over 40 colours in the dark red area!
The dedication came out really well as well. Nice and subtle
Now to cover it in tat. reflectors front and rear, home made mudguards, bar ends, etc etc 🙂

Thanks, for future reference, as we are same height.
That looks lovely, especially with all the silver bits. Makes a great change from everything being black!
Almost too nice to take on adventures but it's been made to go on them so go on adventures it must. Enjoy every second of them as well as all the inevitable scratches and dings that will remind you of them all.
The first year at least I will be touring with a trailer so as not to strap bikepacking luggage to it and scratch the paint - probably take my clickstand as well so as not to lean it up against stuff!
I was scared riding home thru wester hailes as well 🙂
That seat tube badge is beautiful. Really got me. Love it. Welling up.
The colour is lovely and that badge is top class.
I hope you have many, many happy miles with her
A lot of thought went into the badge and in the end the painter chap did a really good job I thought. Deciding on the wording was tricky. When I told her I was going to spend her money on a new bike she said " I won't be here, I dont effing care" but somhow that seemed wrong.to [put that on the bike 🙂
I wanted it to be subtle not to be in my face everytime I rode it but felt in needed something
That's absolutely lovely, and so much more than a bike.
That is lovely Sir. Love the silver and maroon. And the badge is spot on.
Very cool. The badge is perfect.
You were worried going through wester hailes.....
Oh how I would of liked to see a scrote try and take that beauty away from you. Love the bike it's a cracker (as is the map, I might steal that idea)
I have all of Europe at 1: 3 000 000 on another wall and the whole world on a third
That seat tube badge. Oh man.
The forum has never needed a "like" button more.
Today has been the best day I have had for what seems like a long time. You guys added to it. i was actually laughing walking from the train station to Shand reading the comments. I love that the wee badge has gone down so well as well. I really was not sure.
Ta for that.
Lovely bike TJ and the ST badge is a nice touch.
Here's to many happy miles on it.
Badge is perfect + lovely colour
What are the cranks?
middleburn
Lovely colour TJ, now away and put some miles on it.
lovely. i have always had a soft spot for silver wheels and finishing kit. a beautiful memorial. i hope it brings you a lot of joy.
Nice. Enjoy
It is a very lovely bike. I wish you many very happy adventures with it. Have fun 🙂
Lovely bike TJ. That first scratch is going to hurt even more than they normally do. Enjoy your adventures.
thats lovely teej. bikes not too shabby but the badge is the best bit.
thats going to give you many miles and smiles.
That was well worth the wait. The seat tube dedication is *chef's kiss*.
Lovely bike and the badge is a class touch
It's beautiful, and like everyone else I choked up a but when I saw the badge - a lovely touch.
fantastic - here's to you TJ.
