Had another twiddle with the usb cable, so here's pics of the newly
powdercoated RED Steed.

The kitchen. The most obvious place to put a frame.

Small but almost perfectly formed.

Posing demurely.

Posing again.

While outside Pellegrini's on Saturday arvo, Rooman mentioned some
smartypants remark about leaving the Steed out in the rain to see if
the frame would grow. Sorry mate, it's a 41cm frame and remaining that
size. 😉

As with most unfinished Projects, the Steed is awaiting further bike
p0rn 'accoutrements' subject to stringent budget restrictions.
Unfortunately the fleeting dalliance with barend shifters and Salsa
cyclo-cross levers hasn’t worked out and I will probably commit a
serious crime against nature by utilising flat bar integrated shifters
with bull horns.

And this wasn't a decision taken lightly, as I've also had crack at
several other combinations, including Kelly Take-offs for the original
downtube shifters. Oh well, it's my bike & I'll do want I want.

The PAUL thumb conversion for barends worked for me. . .

But shouldn't that style of ride be fixed :-)

Mmm, that's rather pretty!

Tell me, why are people so obsessed with the Ace of Spades?
Personally, I think the five of diamonds has a sweet charm all of its
own! ;-)

Motorhead circa 1980. It was a formative life experience. 😉

FYI it's an a.b spokecard, ask nicely and I'll laminate (free) one for you, or you can go DIY.

Well, it's OK, but it's no five of diamonds... ;-)

The five of diamonds does have an elegance of simplicity and symmetry
unmatched by the other numbers and suits.

I'm preparing for a barrage of ridicule, but wasn't that Ace of Base??
I do recall (from much Young Ones watching) that Motorhead had a track
called Ace of Spades.

Brendo, google is your friend, I was taking the [censored] as I would be

Eurotrash pop! Woohoo!

Nah I really prefer Lemmy any day. Actually his latest outfit "The Head Cat" is rather good methinks. Well it would be, considering Slim Jim is on double bass.

BTW - keep those orders flooding in for the limited edition a.b spoke cards. Our friendly staff have been knocked off their feet following up all the enquiries. Huge huge discounts for multiple orders. We'll even throw in a free blob of blu-tac for the radial spoked-challenged.

(sorry, Surprise Spruiker appeared in there somewhere. They're free, just email if you what a few, telstarATcfsmtb.net)

I don't think I would say that to cfsmtbs face.

Of course not. You can't run away when you're kneeling.

(is 800km enough to keep me safe?)

that fixes the problem. --Peter Gutmann 18/06/1998

based on previous posts, my guess is that cfsmtb is 155 cm tall?? Looks
like an appropriate set-up :-)

Also, being of similar stature I prefer the question to be couched
thus... "how TALL are you?". It's not as though I'd measure someone
from six foot DOWN! :-)

(I say six foot cos anything taller than that is just plain wrong!)

Oi! I may be plain and often wrong, but I'm not both! Shorty!

Correct. BTW, numerous wonderful people are 5'1', like Bette Midler, Iggy Pop, Kylie ..

Question: Is it called a "slap down" when delivered by a person two
feet shorter?

Definately would be a slap up! But I didn't say there was anything wrong with being short, I was just asking.... 🙂 With some exclamations as the end of the question.

My mother is 5'1....... Fantastic person!!

Very nice Bike as well, by the way......
