Freo Tweed Run 2012
Postby hiflange » Wed Oct 17, 2012 1:00 am
Sunday Nov 4th at 10AM on the Esplanade sadly the the attractive poster is a triumph of style over substance - ignore it - it says Sat 4th at 8AM

Notice the fashion paintings and illustrations are more true to life than the photos

I thought this series was stunning: Photographer to the Tsar: Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii

So not afraid of colour, I gave my potential Tweed ride it's first real test today on 20km commute, child seat and pegs will have a full ride test Friday morning by daughter. I've sat on the seat and can confirm dinkies are possible, but give you a circus monkey on bike feeling.

Mine is off the shelf, a bit removed and a bit added for commuting test. I rode it again today since it was so much fun, and <20% (8min) longer trip home with single speed, which I was really impressed with, but not too surprised given the number of stoppages on the northern 20km of PSP from the CBD that lower top speeds. Went for a weekly Joe's cake kitchen visit and stopped by the office for a photo
On topic, wardrobe for the day is slowly progressing, trying to keep it cool anticipating a hot day, I'd be happy to ride it Hillarys to Freo (pending family work shifts don't kill the whole day).
If anyone is going to the Tweed Run down the coast. 10am target with a 20kph pace including stoppages.
<8:30am departure from Hillarys is anyone interested?

Nice bike you have there, a Basman? I have seen one similar in the new shop in Freo in the Paddy Troy Mall opp Myers.
I'm always cruising around Freo on the weekends and have posted a meet for 12pm at the Esplanade Hotel that is very slow taking off, but that's ok as I also ride with a bunch of Cruisers on Fri nights at Sth Perth which has some very unique rides, usually about 12 - 20 of us take off at 8 pm crn of Berwick and Canning Hwy (McDonalds carpark).
Keen to catch up for a ride somewhere when suitable, where do you normally start from?
Don't mean to take up your space Rob, I'll keen to go in the Tweed run aswell

I've got some tweed from late grandfather at my parents so hopefully just a little tweed and a lot more cooler stuff if we end up with a 35degC on the day. Could all be in vain for me if wife is still booked to work unless I can get folks to babysit, but will be prepared in any case and hope for some cool weather.

All in all I'm a bit sad that Dismantle have made a hash of their communication about the event this year; two separate facebook pages, wrong date and time advertised, and no mention of when the actual ride was to start - I had just assumed it would be shortly after the 10am muster.
I'll still be going unless it's ridiculous, so see you all there

This is Lloyd (right) aka metalrideroz on a tip find with a four speed Campag setup riding with Tim who's on his 1920's Armstrong
The lady at the front of this pic was riding a beautiful step through 1930's Super Elliott with original and immaculate paint.
Easy Rider was pedalling a cruiser with back tyre so wide the bike didn't need a side stand, just stayed upright on it's own when he stepped off, note top "tube" made of chain. Great to see so many kids tweeding it up.

Despite a wet and windy start to the morning the weather cleared up in time for the start of the ride. In time means 5 minutes before.
Rob was there. A flattering photo this is not.
That's a hospital in the background but (most) fremantle drivers are encouraging and positive so no one paid a visit.
Finish at the coffee festival. I prefer decaf.
Since the weather still wasn't great the streets were somewhat deserted and I went for a nice post-ride ride along the docks.
My bicycle for the day. Super laid back seat tube angle? No, it's just as fast as the torpedo it's leaning against and thats standing still!
Since I didn't get a photo of any dutch bikes here's a photo of the dutch ship Duyfken

Dismantle have tweeted that they are considering a Tweed Run in March 2013. If this interests you, they would like you to show your interest by liking the post on their Facebook page.

It would make a lot more sense getting rugged up in wool during our winter.
