Very nice. How do you keep the chain lubricated?0 -

Noticed you have fizik's saddle any opinions bout it ?
Other then the fact that you can design your own (colours) and it's relatively light with a titanium band, it's not the most comfortable.
Ideal for short commutes but would not want to be on it for over an hour.
I find the fact that i have different saddles on my various bikes a problem that I did not foresee and swapping bikes for long rides can cause problems.
Worth forking out for a Brookes B17 or Swift if weight is not an issue.
The most comy for me is an old Selle i've had for a while, on my bareknuckle...again ignore the chain eh...can't think of an excuse for that one...in touch with me feminine side...eh!

With the swallow- I would consider levelling it
You may be right, bits are noticeably numb this evening. It's a dinger of a saddle though, and comfy from the get-go. My B17 took a bit more work, and it had already been ridden when I took charge of it.
That Bob Jackson is only lovely It was a toss-up between himself, Dave Yates and Mercian.
Edit - notice my home-made Heineken-can shim on the seatpost?
Edit edit - the handlebars are Nitto Randonneurs, traded on this very board Comfy out 0 -

is that an IRO? if so, where'd you get it? and how do you find it? heavy? is there a dealer in ireland or was it goolebay or something?
sorry for the Qs - i've been considering a new frame for a bit and something like that might be just the ticket.
i won't comment on the chain and hubs... but a matching pink chrisking headset, christ! very, em, brave... do couriers give you withering looks?0 -

Thank Beans, your Mercian is absolutely beautiful.
Have you had it long and whats the tubing?
Between Dave Yeats, Bob Jackson and Mercian, i think Merican have the better name, good choice.0 -

last comment (joke) on the page...
"best of luck with you build and tattoo".....nothing more sinister than that.
lol - forgot about that. :pac: ...pic's gone now though.... ?
get it from hubjub? looks like a really nice frame, but probably a bit too nice for my purposes i.e. commuting. and it would be too pricey for me to get comfortable locking it up in town etc. iro or something would be less worrisome.
and for the record i don't give a monkey's what the gurriers think of me - i'm just bemused by the evils they give me as i stop at traffic lights (!) because i have the cheek to use a fixed wheel for transport. and my bike's quite innocuous, i'm surprised they don't feel the need to beat you to death with their minipumps. pink hubs indeed...
yuo're stealing their cool!
@beans - seriously beautiful bike.
@RasTa - explain yourself.0 -
Hi Tom,
Yes, got it from [EMAIL="Will@hubjub"]Will@hubjub[/EMAIL].
Pros: Very comfortable and fast, not many on the roads.
Cons:The sizes run a big high, the paintwork is not the best, and apparently they don't hold up well in crashes.
