M-mm-  nice piece Brett.

Funnily enough, for all the hours I spend in it's saddle, my roadie that carries me so many kilometres a year is just another bike in the end. I'm not that emotionally attached..

On the other hand for the joy of simply being on the pedals I can't go past this rusty piece of junk. Whether because it's a 'cool' fixie? Or because 'steel is real'? Or maybe because I rescued it from the grave with my very own spanners?

Dunno.

At heart it still just a bog standard '70's frame, with a mish-mash of parts, chinese wheels and funny coloured tyres, but jeez it's fun to ride...

Nice bike Brett

Here's my "solar cycle" Its not a big brand name with Ultegra, (DBR with 105) but I love the look, the size, the ride and the satisfaction of having bought the frame and parts all seperately and put it together myself.

My pride and joy that has cost me most of my spare tine caused some worry and cost a fortune and he isn't even asking to use the car yet.

 

 

Am I on the wrong website?

 

 

 

Other may suggest that I just own an old basic mountain bike.

Nice idea. Focus Cayo 1. 

This is my Sierra - made in Adelaide in the early 1980s and owned by a well know elder of the cycling community Margaret Day. I love it just as much. Read the story of it here.

Can't get enough of this frame - its my 3rd in 18 months after accidents wrote off the first 2. 

Only problem was the first 2 were blue and switching to red meant a new wardrobe, shoes, helmet etc ....
