    The same has been related to bike thefts.

    When you are putting pics of your bike just be careful of what info goes with it.

    I can see one lad here used a Canon IXUS 132 to take a pic, another a SAMSUNG GT-I9505.

    So just be careful, some incredible bikes here, and some with much too much information available.

    Sorry for off topic but just a heads up.

    i'd be more worried at the posting of GC/strava logs which list the bike and show where the poster lives, was guilty of that myself in the past but no more. even if you've the privacy feature on it's a bad idea.


    but this is a fair point too

    Anyone can read exif data for any photo and it's pretty irrelevant what it was taken with, all digital devices record what the image was taken with nowadays. The problem arises with pictures that were taken on devices that have location services active and are geo tagged giving the location where the photo was taken which in my admittedly worthless opinion is pretty rare but is where the concern lies not in the basic exif data (which is where you've gotten the device details) which anyone can read in relation to any photo they view.

    It's a new frame alright. They're making 70 of them to celebrate Merckx's 70th birthday, at €14,000 each. They sent me an email, cos I bought a slightly(!) cheaper Merckx 2 years ago. I think the Merckx email dept. really need to evaluate their customers a bit better. Maybe I should report the email as spam :D

    Thats my point with the geolocation and strava also mentioned. Software can be bought by those who want to track pics and rob whatever it be ;)

    saw this on the velominati website recently.. not a big fan of new trend of splashing camo on things (cippolini, tinkov saxo etc) but i think the paintwork is so nicely done on this frame, runs into the stem too. jaeger is a custom builder i so probably costs an arm and a leg.

    Hi all,

    Haven't been on here a while but after finishing this for, and riding it in, the Vintage Tour of Conamara at the weekend I thought a share was worthwhile. There are more images on www.oldvelos.com Best wishes, Brendan

    Thanks, its almost totally original, and rides beautifully. Very little use from new, I would imagine.
    Missing tail light and the pump.
    Looking at some online forums with old brochures scanned in, it seems to date from about 1988.
    Small for me though, you can hit that Simplex gear lever with your knee and accidently shift up!

    Looks like the endurance aluminium. (Carbon firk/aluminium frame) Some of those alluminium canyon bikes are lighter than low end carbon ones though.

    My wife has one as well, very comfortable to ride, far to small for me but have used it a few times, if I higher the seat to the max, and get into the drops, it makes me look like some weird Graeme Obree TTer copycat.

    Must throw up a pic, I think hers is from the 70s, mint condition but had to replace the wheels and tires, will get ones with a tan wall the next time as they would suit better.

    The phrase Swim, Bike, Run always niggles my grammar OCD.

    Surely it should be Swim, Ride, Run.

    As opposed to the Irish Triathlon; Drink, Ride, Sleep.

    Or even better the full Quad; Drink, Ride, Sleep, Ride.

    Though its more likely the Friday night special; Drink, Puke, Sleep (no Ride).

    I'll get me coat...

    .

    If we're going to be pedantic, which we are, it should actually be "swim, cycle, run". Riding is something done to an adversaries mother.

    But the yanks and Canucks like to use "bike" as a verb. They bike here and there, discuss the toughness of their bike and talk about what a great bike they just had, when they mean cycle.
