You may have to resize the photos if it comes up to large ;-)

Are they too big?

I notice that attempts to spice up this thread have been squashed by the Mods. Here's a blow for the Rockers! My naked bike in its full glory :smile

Those living in the South West may be able to recognise the location.

Yeap ....some of that bike porn has seemed to have been taken off and put into private collections ... :laugh2

Loving loving by the sea now - surfing and running (and swimming and gyming - a good gym now near us) loads BUT the poor bike is getting very little use due to bad access to good MTB trails (loads of coast paths but bikes aren't allowed - when I cycled a section anyway, it was lethal!) and very dangerous (for cyclists) roads. Missing it!

Just as I got my bike "perfect" I almost all but stop cycling. Probably no more than once a fortnight now. :cry:

My stable of bike porn ready and waiting for a good ride

 

[owen_h]

:clap Impressive stable.
Good application of the n+1 rule. I can count 9 there?

Re: "Bike Porn"-your rides and how/where you use them

There's 7 of mine there. One of Mrs.T's and one of my eldests too... My old 45lb roadster isn't shown, nor is my trusty condor commuter/tourer...
Just wish I had space to fit a windcheater recumbent trike... Played on one in an icy car park ten years ago, and was smitten... (So yes, the n+1 always holds true)

It's 7 that he's shown in the photo! Admits to 9. I will own up to 6 at the moment, technically maybe 7 but one of my old mtbs is currently residing at brothers doing duty as hack bike.
My bikes rarely get sold, bits just get rearranged amongst the fleet or friends.

Wish I could hang on to all my bikes , but space and showing willing to sell means I could buy my rocket titanium ,but the wife doesn't know its cost ,so I'm still up in my eyes ;-)

Planning to go to this, not sure what day yet. Friend of mine after a new 29er MTB and spending other peoples money is always good fun :lol:

Nice looking bikes Shaun Not come across Spire before.

Got out on the road bike today, 40ish miles trying to avoid the puddles around the New Forest. Great day for a ride even if the fitness levels seem to be rather lower than the summer...

Re: "Bike Porn"-your rides and how/where you use them

The beast is now complete

 

[MisterTea]

Nice Time machine that. good groupset choice and wheel setup. But seems strange saddle choice. looks like a Tri bike short nose saddle. Is that comfy for long days in the saddle?

The saddle is purely for comfort. Not for a Tri bike though.

Oooh how do you find the ISM saddle and what made you choose it? They are a tad bonkers!

Have you suffered on a few saddles before going to the ISM or did you just try one and find it good?

Re: "Bike Porn"-your rides and how/where you use them

Thought I would post a picture of my pride and joy and add to this boring thread ;-) though it is not quite in the league of many I have seen on the forum. I built it based on using wheels, stem, handle bars and brakes off my old Ridgeback hard tail and new full sus carbon frame, XT drive train and Rockshox Reba shocks. Plenty of upgrades still to go over the coming months.

Why takes this route? Well... Come my birthday last Sept my wife said why not get that new bike you keep talking about, then we realised my budget was a grand more than hers! So this was my compromise [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed spec'ing and building it though, almost as much as riding it.

Recommended to me by my local bike shop and then borrowed one of their saddles for a week to try it out and found it comfortable and went for it. It is very comfortable but I would recommend trying one before you buy.
