The jersey is from Ventoux but the selfie is from the Dublin equivalent. Beautiful up there yesterday afternoon.

Looking at Tracks and Trails on RTE earlier this evening, it showed the Belmont Way from Bray Head to the Sugarloaf across Belmont Estate land. The clip included a Fat Tyre Mountain Bike track on the estate with a for-hire bike shop. Has anyone here been on the route?

I've been around Belmont on a hired fatbike, they also have some MTB trails there. Great gas and really nice folks running the hire shop. Haven't taken it on to the sugarloaf but sounds good.

It's the beer bike Probably gotten the most use of late but a super comfy ride.

It was originally an old BSA racer which had a hard life and needed some repair to some brazing which led to it being stripped and I liked the raw look so there it stayed.

It also has a really nice Adie Williams & Co. bell

The one beside I don't have much detail on the frame a mate picked it up from adverts but I can tell you it has done a 400km+ Audax and is lovely to ride, hub brake and dynamo with a nice converted carbide lamp and the saddle is as comfy as the throne.

Are those cranks extended or just look like it due to the single chainring?

Nope they're standard Shimano 600 I think it is and on the smaller side at 165mm. The chain ring is a slightly smaller so could be throwing off the eye, I think it's a 46 strong light

hate to be a party pooper, but this is way beyond legal for a bicycle. it's not even legal as a moped.

Obviously iwillhtfu's bike is magic. You can't just STICK a bike IN THE middle of the road with the CHAINSET at that angle :pac:

Effective though, to be fair. The shadow gives it away first.

Lovely bike.

Ah now I never claimed to be Jackson Pollock

It was just the blur pen on the phone. If I were really inclined I could make it disappear altogether but simple and effective

If the wind is blowing at *just* the right strength, you can lean the bike into the wind and the wind holds it up for you.
