·That’s all we need , a thread about a peloton of people trying to peddle their wares about Velocipedes . And so the cycle begins again and around & around it will go until someone gets tyred.
Or cranky.
…that’s just how they’re raised on some other forums
Or cranky.

·Enough of the old kronky flakey bikes already let's move forward to some modern vintage such as this last of the real Mongoose bikes.
Bought this one only a month or so ago, cost $US3,500 back in the day (1999 release date).

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Absolutely. However Gazelle is now losing it to the hipsterbikes like Van Moof.
I own an Azor. Yet another league. Something like this

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.No rules I think for normal speed ones. The real fast ones need a helmet and licence plate but you hardly see them in town. But bike paths in the city are extremely crowded sometimes. This is a famous one

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerYou’re lucky if the don’t scream at you. One of the other things us locals hate is tourists on rental bikes 😁

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Berthouds are superior in every way to Brooks... I understand the love for Brooks though but Gilles makes a remarkable saddle.
Truthfully Brooks slide downhill when they were acquired by Selle Italia.

·Did not know that. The GB saddles actually do look less fiddly and better made. Of course there is an SI saddle on my FSR pictured above that I also find very comfortable. The Brooks on my Waterford is well broken in so honestly it’s staying.
What year is your Waterford? Beautiful whip indeed.

·Those bikes look like a lot of fun
Riding the Holdsworth fixie down a narrow country lane two horse riders are coming in the other direction. I say loudly "Hello, are your horses OK with bikes" apparently this helps horses believe that you are a human similar to the sort who feeds them and not a slavering horse-eating beast that hasn't eaten this month [*]. Yes, they're OK.
Then a shot-gun goes off in an adjacent field. Both horses bolt, I dive out of their way and land upside down in a ditch still clipped in to the pedals. Horse riders say most unladylike things about whoever fired that shotgun and ask if I'm OK. Yeah, I'm OK, but somehow my chain has come off. Fixie riders have to be really particular about chain tension and there is no way it should come off. But it did.
[*] Doesn't matter what you say out loud if you're on a recumbent bike: to a horse you're a slavering horse-eating beast that hasn't eaten this year.
