I am just compulsively disordered.

And it is all so clean and tidy. And empty. Where is all the junk? Man, I wish I had OCD.

You mean a price crash?

That thing is screwed to the metal. Shoot me down in flames, but it looks to me as if the stays do not come into it at all.

I did that ages ago. I filed a furrow in the fork crown. Lots of miles since then. I will let you know when it snaps.

I have had a few flats on my Silvio, but they never caused me to crash, except once, when both tyres exploded at once. They were very worn. Lesson. I do what RojoRacing said. I try to find bumps so small I can just about feel them. You can feel the tyre deforming, even if you have...

I too like the mirrors, but some people would call them air-brakes.

I do not need to feel anybody else's. I can feel my own. How good it is to know that the rubber mallet is in use again.

I thought the new S40 could do that anyway.

What @benphyr said. I was introduced to the idea by the thread on this forum. I love it because it is clean. No more black gunge. I followed the instructions on the website of Molten Speedwax, but I do not use the substance that they sell. I use candle wax. Get a master link. But...

No mudguards. That bag is going to get absolutely covered in stuff.

You are still weaving across the white lines, and your hands are ready to grab the bars. As the mileage increases, the random zigzags will disappear. You will be able to ride along a train-rail and fold your arms or eat a banana or read a book or pick your nose. Maybe not all at once.

@3bs how many hours are there in your day? Are you operating some sort of non-Einsteinian hack?

Why not ride the motorbike? What is the point of owning it if you do not ride it?

There is less traffic now. Less risk of getting run over? Or does the lack of traffic make those who do drive blasé? COPD prevents that. I think it also makes the virus deadly for me. But I always ride on my own. The only way to get the virus on a bike is by drafting behind someone who has...

Most bike frames are a bit bendy. It is rare to find a rigid one, but when you do you can feel it. A rigid 'bent one is even more rare.

I sit on my Grasshopper. I grip both brakes tight. One foot down, one foot on the pedal, and push hard. I can see the BB going up and down. After years and miles and hills and loads on the Grasshopper I got a Silvio and I could feel it refusing to bend. The first bike on which I noticed the...

When I managed to get full length mudguards onto my Silvio Cruzbike realised I had beaten them and they knew they had to raise their game.

Those DF riders will believe anything. The UCI is run by the lizards. J Tolhurst is controlling everything from his secret underground bunker in the Australian outback, which does not exist because the earth is flat. The virus is a germ-warfare experiment designed to create panic-buying of...

It is not just Vendettas. On my Silvio I tried loads of configurations and even cut the boom. The original bars have a really tight curve in the drops. Too small for my hands. I never had a problem with the Grasshopper's bars. Cruzbike riders pull the bars, like DF riders.
