Brian Bleech Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 On the surface my bike looks nice, pretty well colour coordinated and bike! But Generally my bike is pretty dodge as long as it works really! my rear brake is held together with copper wire and my front brake lever is held together witha zip tie and the caliper is actually a a deore/sd7 combo! Bits are rusting and the seat is taped up! Generally something is wrong with my bike, but I do like that 'worn in' feel![attachmentid=7326]As long as the grips and pedals are sorted, I will pretty much anything......which I did [attachmentid=7327] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 For me, if I go to my garage and my bike is sat there looking sexy then I have to ride it.. I can't just pass it by.I love having a nice looking bike, I don't have any bold colour schemes or anything, just subtle and tidy. That's how I like it.As far as scratches and things go I couldn't care less.. I don't think they make the bike look any worse - unless you have a black frame with a white undercoat or something!!

matthewholdsworth Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 forgot about him! I have seen most of the stuff he is putting on it and may I say PIMP. any news on when it will be here Matthew?end of oct before his bike comes, it'll be stripped down sprayed and then built up asap ready for us to hit addingham no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 It does help, but then again, im riding a frame with a huge crack all the way round the chainstay; my bike is a ticking timebomb. So, i suppose a bike with a bit of a 'bedding in' is probably the best, for comfort .And, not wanting to riding your bike because of a rubbing brake isn't called being a perfectionist !Cheers,Joe.

the judge Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I am a bit I suppose. I like it to look nice, colour coordinated etc. I won't buy something just because it's a pretty colour or anything like that, but being able to get it in blue might just sway me I think I'm probably the bike tart out of the Warrington riders though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
