CHEERS.

My bike is made from blueberry pancakes. They are a little stale after 6 years but still eatible. If I get hungry on a ride I can just take a bite out of the top tube :-)

1. Aluminium - Dawes Giro road bike
2. Steel - Old Peugeot 10 speed frame converted to more modern road components
3. Aluminium & steel - Miyata "frankenbike" wierd hybrid parts combo, vaguely road bike. Great ride though
4. Steel - Schwinn Traveller III inc. original steel rims! 10 speed cheap classic

Bikes 1 & 2 are my mainstay bikes in the UK and get roughly equal use

3 & 4 live at our place in Los Angeles and see less action (sadly).
