dignity is overrated
I have some black number that says "Matrix" on it. Frankly it's comparisons to the Matrix are somewhat misleading. Ah well it gets me from a to b.
It's my mates anyway, she said it cost her £60 from Woolworths.

I fix the machines that fight climate change
I've got a Spooky Bandwagon frame (little jumpy mountain bike) that I built up myself with new wheels and forks and some of the remaining good bits from my previous bike, a Gary Fisher Paragon. It is sadly underused and mostly hanging up gathering dust at the moment but I can't bear to sell it.

a complex mass of conflicting ideas
My son has a Giant(I think), he likes that it's not too heavy, hubby has a Diamondback and 2 Saracens, one fo the saracens is mainly a road bike, the other two are mountain/crosscountry bikes.
I have a VW golf, I like that I don't have to pedal it

I have one of these beauties:
Although I fitted breaks and clipless pedals to mine. No gears, fixed wheel and at one with the road. See me fly.
It was really weird riding a fixed wheel at first, but now I am used to It I don't think I would go back.

I used to have a GT Pro Series which was a wicked racer BMX but was no good for doing tricks or owt as it was far too long. Light as a feather though!
I say "used" because I gave it to a bunch of traveller kids and I've not got a new bike yet.

Yep, Armadillos rool. One puncture in a year - not bad going. And it was a badass pieces of glass.DJ Bigga said:I've got one of these, tyres swapped out for some Armadillos

specialized allez.
armadillo tyres, of course. and a handmade wheel, after brixton cycles persuaded me.
I really, really want one of those fuji track bikes (see picture earlier in thread
) but it would be no practical use to me as I live at the top of a very steep hill.

Hand made eh? What's the benefit there then?

Addicted to handstands!
any excuse to take and post a photo!
Cheap and cheerful bike - had it for 6 years now and never had any problems (but that's probably because I only use it about once a month
)
What do I like about it? The wheels go around when I pedal and the breaks work and I like the noise it makes when I change gears...
that 'thing' at the top left-hand corner is a robot my son made out of his old shoe.

I have a 7 year old Sachs, gold. Got it free 3 weeks back and has needed some work done to it.
I feel an urban road trip coming on...
Err I think I have seen that bike (and probably you!) around Brixton?! Do you have a few cards in the spokes?
And yes I do normally have 2 locks for it

Only thing I don't like about it are the curvy bars, which I chose myself and later realised are a mistake, should have gone for straight bars
Forks, chainset and brakes aren't amazing (Basic RockShox, Sugino Mighty and Avid 10) but will change them when they wear out.
