Hadge- stop it, just bloody stop it!!!

Why?

Don't forget the Hummer…..

its should come with an x certifiacte, thats why. Sometimes you should only see your dream bike in your dreams. Pornotastic

Hadges old Merlin is something else,
heres mine, not the prettiest, but very light and very stiff, feels like cheating uphill, flier on ST but gnarly stuff is a challenge

Don't get too excited then please but here's a couple more for you…

and

Very different at the moment, I probably change the bits 3 or 4 times a year depending on where I'm mainly riding, though TBH I prefer fettling to riding really 😉

Some Chitanium:

Ibis Bow-ti

Not many of these about. Mine's done almost 40000 miles in 11 years.

Still gets the 'nice bike' shouts from da kids.

Here's a smidgen

8spd?? old skool

9 spd. Old skool modernised.

loving the Ibis

My Morning Glory in all it's shininess

Not bad for £1000 (well about £600 on the C2W scheme)

I'm assuming that they are being cheeky.

the Merlin has it

and the Airborne second

"Still gets the 'nice bike' shouts from da kids"

I'm assuming that they are being cheeky.

Nope. They've no idea such bikes ever existed.

I wonder what they'd think of the Slingshot.

After my first race win in 06.

Dakerf, Orange or Voodoo frames for me, but the detailing on Hadge's Merlin takes the cake for loveliness!

Oooh daveatextremistsdotcouk's Bow-Ti

….oh

Oh, sir!

PS Ugly fork and doesn't that disc arm impede the bow action?

@jad you've got a touring chainset on that!

I know – I got it cheap! It's used a lot on the road so the bigger rings have been handy. They're worn now and have been replaced with normal sizes.

Ugly fork? Nah. Shame the USE SUB never caught on. Needed an external shock unit and ball bearing slider arrangement (a la Lefty) IMO. I loved the anti-dive though.

The part of the downtube where the Hope No2 caliper arm sits doesn't flex significantly as its more heavily butted, and there's a ball and socket arrangement at both ends anyway.

Its held together for 38391 miles plus another 20 this afternoon.

Love the Dekerf Aus…what happened to the Vit-T? Not your thing?

Looking forward to seeing what 2010 brings you.

Enigma Ego Ti

My MG.

Ken … how did you get yours so shiny?

I'm glad I'm not the only one riding slicks off road 😉

Here's one being given some….

Commencal
Flame VIP Ti
entire bike bought seperately and built up from parts all off ebay or similar
First two pics at top of Whinstone Lee Tor – Ladybower today (3rd Jan)

No washed & polished pics from me, just a well used Cotic Soda & Dialled Bikes Morning Glory, love em both.

thumbie – the vit-T felt pretty flat to me (cf with other Ti frames and my memories of my old P7). The Dekerf is pretty similar geometry but feels much livelier (if that makes any sense?!)

here's mine 😀

Well, ti post and bolts and ti bolt in the seat clamp. That's about as much as I can afford right now.

Not mine, unfortunately (although I own the black Bonty race, just behind). Ridden by Tangent, sometimes of this parish, until one of the stays… cracked. 🙁

Lovely bike.
