handlebars

 

these are the current family bikes in use

no two bar set-ups the same

Family portrait

was sweeping out the back verandah

or patio, if you prefer

and had to move all the bikes.

so time for a group photo.

I counted 11.

CadeX = CX

the latest incarnation of the cadex is not single speed

but cyclocross.

yes I hanker to be that cool.

actually it was the most sensible way to set up

this particular bike.

it indulges two of my prefs:

moustache bars and single front chainrings.

it's got heaps of gears now too.

 

the thumb shifter set-up from Victor

works well upside down with just friction to move through

the eight gears

blue fizzik tape gives those yellow forks a 

touch of sweden

and of course it has cantilever brakes.

so watch out dirty deeds!

Hetre & crabon

Cadex 650b(ootsy)?

so wrong

or so right?

I don't know yet.

playing around with the 650b wheelset 

on a really 'inappropriate' bike
