Your tail light mount appears to be upside down, if so, you'll lose it on a rough road one day.
Still hot otherwise

I thought I would post up my cruiser on here:
I chucked on my black spoked schwinn Stingray wheels (instead of the silver spokes)
Here is a hilarious project I am working on, thought it would be a funny idea to chuck on some 700c wheels on it lmao. Normally the trailer comes with 14" wheels so its a big step up
GOALS FOR THIS YEAR 1. Save up for a JC70 Recumbent Trike 3. Rack up a lot of KM Training 2. Attend 250km Bupa 2013

Bet you're on it tomorrow. With non matching bottle cages.
I ride 25s on the basis that they divide more easily into 100 than 23s.

The two tone paint they were talking about is referring to the basket. Nice bike that. And the Ridley is awesome, rabobank. I should stop looking at this thread - I'm starting to think I need five of six more bikes now...

Happened to me today. Lost a brand new light first time out. I have to acknowledge that I got it wrong, but the design of the mount is stupid in that the light will fit in both directions, but only lock properly in one. A sensible design would have it either be one-way only, or make it lock both ways. Very frustrating!

Really happy with it. Did Crystals/Circ Du Harvey yesterday and Clifton today. Super smooth, comfortable and fast.
There is a fair amount of chatter from the front end (head tube, I think...) on the really rough tarmac though, which I'm not sure about...I think I read something here a few months back of someone with a similar problem, so will search around soon.
But yes, otherwise could not be happier!
