Finally get around to taking a couple of snaps of her. Snow and dug up garden gives the impression I'm harder than most and was out being healthy today.

Nice bikes ENW and CH.
One thing I dont miss about Dublin is small titchy back gardens.

Proper big rural gardens.
Love the shed in ENW's picture. Proper old skool outhouse/shed.
Twasnt long ago that people in this country lived in buildings like that rather than stored bikes ther (we maybe heading back to those times).

Few quick snaps of my new (to me) mountain bike which I bought from c montgomery here! Now that I replaced the well worn chain, cassette, jockey wheels, chainring, bottom bracket, cable and upgraded the bars it is almost running like a new bike! I'm loving it so far

OH's bike, bought in August and has been taken out once, as predicted!

An Audi A4 Cabriolet and a VW Beetle? Sir, I have lost all respect for you!

Bike looks nice though.

You're right - a Beetle's not good for the street cred, but thankfully it's not mine!

But I knew you'd appreciate the bike, has plenty of that pinkness you dig

If one stares at those pictures wall-eyed (a la an autostereogram) one should be able to make out Barney holding them up.

Again sorry for the bad indoor photos but just put them on the bike and I'm happy out!! Lets see how many seconds they are worth in time trials next season!!

Unstickying ! Never fear, the thread remains and will be bumped up regularly with pictures. If you get lost and can't find it, go to the link from the charter!

I used to love these LeMond bikes the Z team used years back... the years haven't been too kind to it but I still think it rocks....

Lumen

@Fender: what are the loops hanging off the bottom of the brakes? Are they some sort of quick release mechanism?

Fender76

Yeah.. I think so.. Most brake pads from the 80's had these especially Campy, some brake pads still have them... I'm not entirely sure what purpose they serve...

Also, if you look at the handle bars you'll see the additional bars curving back towards the brakes, LeMond used these for climbing... didn't really catch on...

if its the loops coming down from the brake pads, they're meant to guide the wheel into position when it's being installed, so the wheel doesnt get stuck on the brake pads when one is trying to make a quick change

edit- they're a more pronounced version of what you see on modern brake pads

Nice lugage on that LeMond
