In action @ Gisburn

Me, looking like a total knob on mine.

Is that you coming 4th again Rolf? Heh heh…

I love the look of Shand bikes.

I love the look of Shand bikes.

just look like any steel hardtail, still as long as they ride nice.

Here is mine – posted the same pic before but this was from the day it was finished. Steel, rigid, old school.

Here's mine. A hundred quid's worth of cheapo alloy joy.

In order or ownership….

Foxs actually fitted now and has spacers replaced 🙄

I've got lots, but at the moment this one's probably my favourite…

The commuter:

The recently SSed Inbred after a grueling climb (with some Dales in the background)

(crosses fingers that the images will display…)

cant find any online pics of mine.
its currently got a tensioner at the back, and its FUUUGLY.
do we reckon its worth 20 quid to get a tensioner that goes at the front around the BB purely for asthetic purpouses?

Are there any front end ones that actually work well? I seem to remember the last time I heard of this being tried the front end tensioner failed to keep tension. Neatest solution is a frame with an EBB. When i can afford it I'll be having one.

i like gary's 😉

Slightly different spec now, but you get the idea

Its now got a magic ratio, lost the tensioner, black syncros post, salsa stem, king headset and hubs on bonty rims, conti verts

New one

Old one

P20, nice Bonty!! 😀

There've been one or two 😉

Couple of my favourites . . .

It'd probably easier to give you my wishlist. There are still a few to make into 'mamas bikes' 😉

South Downs at Christmas…

South Downs at Easter….

Doing the South Downs summer excursion tomorrow 🙂

what ratio's does everyone have? me being a ss vergin i was going for 32:16 or 32:18? whats the difference?

32:16 is the standard and probably the best to try. The Bonty is now 34:16, a bit tall for me but the clean lines of no tensioner win. Yes i'm a tart. 🙂

Mine – cos I like it

MrsG's – her commuter

Ratio – we run 32:18 just that bit easier – hilly round here and old age setting in…………….

And for the fence fanciers
Next doors darling kids and a f*cking football… love em

My road SS (SE Lager) now sold…

MY shonky built up SS converted Alan Cross frame (still got and love)…
