Speaking of project bikes, my son has had his Piglet rebuilt from scratch a month ago. All it was left from the previous one was the burnt out steel frame & rotors. Thanks to Nick Tonks for putting it together & Lester for donating the tyres.


Loving that bike Remi! :thumbup:

Right No1's bike has inherited a set of Marzocchi 80-100mm ATA air forks from the wifes bike.

And wifey's bike has a set of Fox 100rl's and some awesome Superstar / Alexrims wheels

if anyone hasnt heard the noise of these hubs, prety impresive, must have a thousand pickup teeth. virtually no movement between teeth.

She's a hard one to please, she gets it from the wife. I'm happy and that's what matters ;)

That force is looking pretty good VW. I like those wheels. And loads of pickup teeth sounds awesome. Wish mine was like that!

Might get my bikes on this thread soon.

New commuter.... but I think it may find it's way on the Ridgeway and the Lee Valley loop so I think it's allowed in here ;)

Just need to get some shorter chain ring bolts so I can remove the middle ring.

Cut down the steerer when I’m sure it’s right.

Struggling with the idea of fitting mudguards and a rack....Just a bit too pretty to spoil.

Going to be interesting to see if it's any quicker than my old Scott hybrid or the Hardrock on the tow path rampage :lol:

It's a Cotic Roadrat.... https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/roadrat

Comes in a rather nice Duck Egg Blue but thought the green was a bit more stealthy for Tottenham and Hackney commuting ;)
