Was in Cheshire, now about 10 miles west of the Cotswolds. Just finished building the above... thought the thread could do with some pictures.

I agree about 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? On an M5 bridge close by.https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4151c764df.jpg

Not sure why.

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!:)

Although I am not British, I really like London. London is an international big city. Its unique and trend-setting fashion design and rich and diverse art creation are among the best in the world and become countless writers, artists and designers. The cradle of the master.

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

Bicyclz 03-26-19 12:52 PM

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.

Note the quick release SA cable connection. I clipped the overlong cable shortly after: )

bungle73 03-29-19 08:04 AM

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.

Sittingbourne, Kent, UK

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.

Welcome to the UK Section: )
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.

How much would you sell it for?; )
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:

Had similar probs with stem length, & height originally....
It's all about getting it 'right', innit?

Bicyclz 04-08-19 05:37 AM

Funny, I got a Nigel Dean somewhere...
Never mind the Italian GF, at my age I'm lucky to get anything: )
And she has a nice Chesini!

LOL! It's not carbon, it's actually aluminium. That's one of the reason I bought it actually, because of the way it looked.

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

bungle73 04-11-19 05:55 PM

Oh the fork is carbon though.

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

Actually, I say no problem, but I was feeling a little cramped with the stock stem, which was rather short, in the drops.

Jersey, Channel Islands so possibly one of the most southerly UK members :)
