I’ve just had some M8 shock bolts milled out of Bumax Ultra Strainless – 1600 mpa tensile strength vs the 1200mpa of the cheapo high tensile 12.9s I had on before.

I did it because I could and because bending shock bolts scare me. Now my frame should snap in half before the bolts do.

Manufactured a way to keep warm in this weather. Only finest 300 MPa mild steel was used in the construction.

That a new Orange?

Somewhat different level to those above, but just ordered some Caramac decals for my Caramac coloured Sentinel.

@mick_r that white bike sure is rad-ical. Mind you don’t get thigh burn on the hills.

Hahahah that’s **** brilliant.

I can do even dafterer than that 🙂

I had some titanium and carbon washing-line pegs made and sent off to Las Vegas for a pack of Poker cards to stick in my spokes to make it sound like a motor bike.

I’m quite proud of the front end of my touring bike. All style, no functionality 🙂

I’ve added ergon grips since then.

New niche, a gravel/trials bike.

Pervert.

The thing about the radiator bike is it doesn’t look daft. I saw it finding round Rich’s ssuk campsite did I not? Whilst sipping my pornstar martini unless I’m mistaken…

Not just the campsite at ssuk – it did the race and almost got in the top 10! But my god is it rigid / bumpy.

Local cx league commissaire politely asked that I didn’t race the saddle-free bike. It didn’t meet the three contact points rule (pedals, saddle, feet) and I think they were a little worried that tired buckling legs would result in a messy undercarriage – knobbly tyre interface 🙂

Ah see I wouldn’t know about the race because I was almost 10th last…

Whst daft additions have you made to your bike

The rider.

At least that radiator bike has no hydraulic brakes or reverb post to bleed, just the frame.

I made some additive manufactured (3D printed) titanium cranks…
