What have you been riding lately?

Coming together nicely

Looks sharp like a razor! Such a thin tubeset, must be a ton lighter than the Quadangle was

I met a friend for an impromptu Christmas Eve ride to give her kids some privacy for gift wrapping. It was a beautiful day for a ride!

Forgot to take pics being absorbed in the moment but saw this rickshaw while riding after dropping off my friend. A new flea/antique market to check out.....

It is lighter for sure - maybe not as much as you'd expect - American V Chinese Cro-mo perhaps.

What is most pleasing is the geometry. The main reason I decided not to repair the Quad was the amount of toe strike with my size 14s.

But I haven't touched the front wheel on the S&M at all. Perfect. And it's very stable and steers reliably. Very happy with the Vans Waffle tyres too.

And while Mr JA was also correct - it does need a long seat post for someone my height - it's fitted with a 400mm long unit with 300mm exposed - ie, plenty of engagement, and again in praise of the geometry- it doesn't require any set back to be comfortable - even with my crappola knees.

I did just fit some nylon BMX pedals in stead of the Bullseye bear traps. Keep the bullseyes for show - the nylons don't worry if I lean it on something and don't have the potential to bite as hard.

Pics to follow. When it cools down a bit. Christmas in the sub-tropical south is great dontchaknow. You other blokes can keep all that snow!!!

I've also had the Electra out and about a bit lately. This config rides really nicely. I've been doing 30km runs on it - easy.

It's my 'Sportster'.

Let's call this one "What I Haven't Been Riding Lately "

*I suspect you will appreciate my new phone and its clear lens

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

Shortly after wondering what a friend was up to yesterday I get a text from him wondering if I wanted to get in some laps in Superior. So he picked me & PRPPL NRPPL up a bit later. I forgot my phone but he got a pic of me heading into a berm at a high rate of speed.

I love that bike more every time I ride it
