    The bike you SHOULD be riding......

    Interesting thread. I have some old ornament bikes that hardly ever get riden, when I do its just a work commute. The biggest thing for me is the bar width, I've got road bikes with wider bars now. I have recently been planning to rebuild my P7 back to a nice simple, comfortable bike with wide...

    Ugly modern bikes

    Dont get me wrong when I'm not racing I'm quite happy to take something old out,. I do sometimes go to chicksands on something very inappropriate like my CX bike.

    Royal Fabric St Etienne is what the head badge says, the down tube writing is very faded. The paint is very reasonable I will get better photos Tomorrow. It has bull horn shaped brake levers, the brakes themselves are like centre pull rollercam jobbies. It's a 3 speeder The rear rack is...
