Induction hob so nothing burns onto it and pyroclean oven to burn everything off it! Much more convenient.

Ours is an induction hob too, but my wife’s brother used it and managed to leave food burn into it. Anyway, clean now after 30 mins of hard work!

best thing for cleaning a hob like that:

People, I come on here for my bike porn. Please stop showing kitchen instruments.

I'm just disappointed that it's not a Bora hob.

Serious thread derail this, but who's the guy Jimmy?

If you search oventeam ie on facebook, that's the lad. Seems he's charging 40 or 50 now looking at his page. I've had him out a few times over the years and it's been 30 for a single oven. Still well worth it, look at his pics on that page

Could be as they have a depot in Omeath.



The head tube is pretty unusual as well as the seat stays. I asked for a bit more info and this is what I got:


"sLX frame hi pro built in 1989. I had a list as a kid of the kit I would put on it- still had the list so - rebuild my 17 year old dream bike- Dura Ace Ax Rear mech, stem and brakes. Novo Record large flange hubs on Mavis Gl330 rims. DuraAce7401 chainset, simplex levers"

I could be wrong, but I've seen on a few track bikes (can't find examples now of course), but I think it was to shorter the wheelbase and bring back wheel closer to seat tube?

magicbastarder

surely it's the length of the chainstays which do that, though? you could move the contact point of the seatstays with the seat tube down several inches and not change the position of the back wheel.

You could probably do a lot of things. I'm not particularly well educated on these matters, just repeating from a vague memory.

From a clubmate who has returned to Perth. Nice bike but it's it's the combination I really like. He's not sure why the 'roo isn't wearing a face mask but puts it down to the easing of restrictions!

Hmm. Drivechain position with the correct gearing. Bidons not matching but tastefully blended to the environment.

OK - there is a matter of that cankerous dangleberry protruding from the saddle, and valves misaligned with the tyre branding...

But the guy gets a pass (just about) for drive chain positioning.

Barely.

cletus

Why does the tyre brand have to line up with the valve?

And water bottles should match the bike?

If I passed that Bianchi I'd have to move it back a bit to line the roo's paws up with the bars !!!!!

Biker79

Technically, there should be no bidons for the photo, but it is Oz...so let's overlook that, even if one is transparent and the other is smoked.

However, rule no.40 is quite clear.

Makes it easier to look for issues with the tyre when you have a flat and take the tube out.

Looks nicer, although zero f*cks I give about this

I just read the rules there. That list is awesome. A heap of them don't apply to me because I don't race, and I probably break 2/3rd of the others. Which makes me happy

no, but if i had OCD i'd probably be curling my toes over the way the two halves of the seatpost don't meet square on on the down tube.

This is another set of rules for you to ignore.

This is for sale on another forum in the UK. It's way more than I can afford but I think it's bloody beautiful

Spotted that non the forum too. Stunning. A few talbot bikes on that forum (not for sale) all look amazing

magicbastarder

i just think those RDs look horrendous. they look like something that would attach to a terminator's shoulder.

The frame is absolutely lovely but does nothing for me as a whole.
