It's all true... The MTB looks scornfully at me every time I pass...

well, back in londonium once again, so time to get me another bike. same story as most, ridin bikes since i was a little tacker. last 10 yrs mainly converted MTB's with slicks for commuters, but thought i'd get a fixie after ridin a mates condor pista. so bought a shiny bianchi pista (shock horror, a fakenger!!!) and have started to add bits and pieces. added white vittoria corsa cx's, white world champ toupe saddle, DMR v8 white, specialised cross-top brake, chopped and flopped cheapo steel strack bars, deep v's on ambosia hubs, cinellia alter stem. crzy for going white, but sick of black bikes.

ciao

anth - is that MTB a Cotic? Can't see very clearly but it looks like it's got one of those wraparound decals. I'd love a Cotic Soul :)

Like the matching saddle. verry nice. nice to see another bianchi pista rider on here as well! I'd upload a pic but it's almost completely standard so there's no real point :)

Yip, and despite the wraparound (replacement) decal it's a relatively early one (no. 71) - they stopped doing the orange not long after I got it. Takes everything you can throw at it and is possibly THE most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.

Anth - Nice. I'd love a Cotic Soul in custard (I would get one if I wasn't going to uni) :) I've got a Cotic Roadrat and I love it, would definitely buy Cotic again (plus Cy is really helpful).

Apart from the excellent Bridges ride, you could also try going round Richmond Park on a Thursday with the other Westies. Just make sure your shots are up to date.

Nothing fancy here against all these beautiful steeds- mass produced and ridiculous graphics.

Me - Stuart - on the way to le pave towards the end of Paris - roubaix, wishing I'd shed a few more pounds before the photo was taken

Thank you for the welcome aidan

It was more a jealous comment than an ashamed one - there are some real monuments to simple stripped down two wheeled beauty in the bike porn section and this thread
