Best of luck with Nora. I was in Eindhoven a few weeks ago, great city, had a ball. Super cycling infrastructure (no surprise there!)

Rotherdam too, the idea of cycling from one city to another with barely any traffic to worry about (except for build up of bikes in Delft) so chilled

Not everyone's taste but decided to get myself a second bike as I got a Trek roadbike back in 2011 on Bike2Work.

This time I went for very practical, comfortable and something I can just go around town for messages, visit family etc without worrying about getting destroyed. As I really like the dutch designed bikes I got myself a Gazelle Orange C7+

Awful handy with build in lock, lights, mudguards galore, its a pleasure to cycle and very different experience to a road bike, just need to realise you won't break any speed records on it :pac:

I've told the insurance company what I want and part of the settlement includes the return of the bike to me. The wheels are still good, left lever is ruined and rear mech has a bend in it.
With a bit of eBaying I'll have that gruppo on the next bike reasonably cheaply.

Just a couple of short spins so far but it's a stunning ride.

Back in the days when manufacturers knew what light-weight meant. - I'd have bought that if i didn't already have one!

I normally don't like logo's and lettering on rims but it works for that Cervello. Lovely bike.

Me neither as they can make a stunning bike look gaudy. The fact that the wheels match the frame is purely coincidental.

I think these are going to be a future classic. I had my eye on a Cannondale Super Evo Nano frame but when this became available it was a no brainer.

i feel like i'm being petty here, but just one comment - i'd usually put the front QR lever parallel with the fork or pointing slightly behind.

I'd only put the wheels on for the sake of picture, just fitted new tyres.

I put the front wheel on with the skewer lever on the drive side with the lever pointing down, slightly off line with the forks, to annoy people like you.

My bar tape is red and my saddle is white. How does that make you feel?

It's genuinely beautiful. Gis a full side on shot, you're teasing everyone with the 3/4 shot. It's like side boob.

Ah sold it years ago unfortunately.

I used work with a middle aged woman, who used to commute about 4 miles to work on a Raleigh Chopper. She was the complete antithesis of the target market for the bike. She loved it.

That's a fine bike. But how is it being held up?

Specialised turbo cottons maybe?

Two person team, balance - dive backwards, snap, dive forwards and catch it.

I reckon the stand was photoshopped out

Y'know those people who have mastered the art of balancing stones on beaches? I wonder if they've been hired by bike manufacturers for product shots.
