Default Re: The Cycling Thread

Oh yeah some retro bikes look stunning. Others look like pigs.

Talking retro, I've developed a bit of liking for the La Vie Claire cycling top.

Other news last night I figured out how different bars can change the feeling of a bike completely, to my inexperienced eye they looked slightly narrower and that was it, turns out they had a way longer reach to the hoods and made a bike that was beautifully comfortable into a torturous stretched out thing of evil...

Also found out that 25mm road tyres and soft sand don't match well and peddles hurt when they glide gracefully up your shin as the front wheel slides out from underneath you. S'all good fun...
