Was in Cheshire, now about 10 miles west of the Cotswolds. Just finished building the above... thought the thread could do with some pictures. Me Cheshire too (Cheadle Hulme) & now in Gloucester, (Hucclecote) at the bottom of Churchdown Hill: ) Like your Genesis! How about an oldie but goldie Mercian?

Hi all, joined recently... and was wondering as well, how many people here are from UK.
Me and my bike live in London (moved recently) still dont know where to ride - Chingford??? work in one of the EvansCycles shops so probably saw some of You, London Riders!:) |
Currently living in Kent atm. Originally from SE London.

I've never been in UK but I would love to!

Oi! All you UK cyclists show us your bikes here!!
This is a cool bike site, innit? Make the thread interesting... It's cool to say where you live, but show us your Brit bikes. Brits are known for being reticent & shy (My Swedish GF says exactly the same...) Here's my very nice 1955 Royal Enfield Superlight. 531 frame tubing & weighs 21lb as seen on the road. Refinished later in red with a 4 speed SA FM. Weinmann Carrera brakes. (Me not hung up on originality: ) My everyday rider.https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...1cc9bf2a59.jpg Since recoated in red, with Allrounder bars. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...59f4f32393.jpg Note the quick release SA cable connection. I clipped the overlong cable shortly after: ) |
Here's mine, Mango Point R. Upgraded wheels (Fulcrum Racing Quattro LG), stem (Deda Superzero), bars (Deda Superzero), bar tape (Fizik), crank set (105 5800) and bb. Came with Conti Ultra Sport tyres 25 mm, but now running Conti 4 Seasons 28 mm in the photo, and Pirelli P Zero Velo 28 mm for the summer.

Actually I upgraded the stem several times. It came with an 80, then I bought a 90, then got a 100, which seemed to the correct size for me. Then I knew which was the correct size to purchase when I got the Deda.

I'm trying to get Brits to show their various, interesting machines here. We got loads, I know! But Brits are typically 'shy', according to my current Italian GF: ) Very interesting often to USA enthusiasts also. And eveyone else I believe! Including me in Gloucester. Looks like a neat, but previously unknown machine to me. I'm interested to know more anyway: ) Post more pics & info plz. |

Thanks. What would you like to know?
Hard work this is! Seriously, it's just nice get a reply from a Brit: ) Carbon is a little modern for me, but here's my best carbon alloy machine: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...f8e5116d30.jpg Had similar probs with stem length, & height originally.... It's all about getting it 'right', innit? |

Funny, I got a Nigel Dean somewhere...

Another Nigel Dean. I bought this one new sometime in the early 1990s. |

Not "problems" as such, I just thought a longer stem would be better, and when I tried it it was.
