What do you have to change to have it count in this thread?

My money pit:



Will repost a link when I move to a crosstop brake lever and retape the bars. Also got a lovely new crank from wheelandsprocket since this picture. The original was damage in a run in with the luas lines on harcourt st.

You have to be confident in your superiority over factory bikes

Mid 90s Raleigh Maxx. 26" wheels, mtb brakes forced onto the bullhorn bars. Dodgy bent chainwheel from wheelandsprocket which makes a fair bit of noise, clinks and clanks. Does the job though ! Not exactly cost effective mind you.

It would be nice to tag the bikes on the Bike Gallery somehow to format em.

I put a bottle holder on my Bowery, so it's no longer factor spec

I must get a recent photo of my IRO, it's changed a bit since the last time I posted it!

Sean, does that bike go to UCD?

I have new stem, bars, brake lever, cable, bottle cage and rear sprocket.... so it's not 'standard' -does it count? (and new wheels on the way too!)

[flickerx]

and my other one. this one i built the wheels myself too which worked out well.



i built some more but sold them all.

Funny angle on that saddle, flickerx..

Yea it's up there most days.

/edit: Does the IRO have a big rear mudguard on it perchance?

Sure why not, you'll have to promise never to associate with the Bowery/Langster club though

You'll be properly inducted when you get the wheels on.
