yep, taken with phone camera with horrible sharp backlighting throwing shadows all over the background, battery hanging from top tube, saddle bag on and cranks and valve stems disregarding the rules; but i don't really care.

The other thing is that these bars were originally installed wrong. The LBS (I assume) set them up with the section between the tops and the hoods flat. That made the reach enormous, and the drops unusable as they were almost vertical. At the time, I didn't know any better, and thought I needed to replace the bars. This way is much better.
The stem is deliberately in the high position as I plan to use this as a semi-regular commuter and having the tops high is comfy, but the hoods and the drops are still consistent with my main bike. I might get some cross levers to finish it off.

what the hell is that? is that "chain man" in the background?adamr wrote:This is my 'new' main bike. My first carbon bike. Self-built from a Hongfu carbon FM066SL frame. Light and quick. This taught me everything I know about building bikes. (Not everything, by any stretch, but more than enough to avoid the need to take my bike to the LBS for ordinary servicing.)

agreed. great backdrop. Will have to bring my bike down for a photo with it. Actually, can we call concur that all Adelaide members shall have their photo taken with one of the chain family?adamr wrote:'Mike Turtur Bikeway' in Adelaide runs along the tram lines to Glenelg. Today was the first time I had ridden it and was amazed to see, not just chain main, but a whole family of chain people, and a chain dog. There are a bunch of them, both free standing and attached to a fence a bit further along. I thought it would be an interesting backdrop for my bike.

I know! I actually took a photo on the other side first, but it didn't look right with him heading the opposite direction to the bike.Mugglechops wrote:Looks like he is making off with your bike
