Stuart M's picture

rigid fork
bitumen
car tyre tracks
snow........but not enough to ski on
etc etc etc
or am I missing something serious?
oh I see now,
no gear cables or rear brake cable

Does that really classify as a bike or is it something else? Eye-wink

The only thing wrong with that picture is I am not in it! Riding in the snow could be a lot of fun, wish I was there.

home trails in yorkshire. Ive had some great rides in the snow. Its bloody cold though and yes, v brakes just stop working almost. The forks aint backwards. Although pace forks used to have the v brake mounts on the backside there's still a disc mount in its proper place. c'mon rob. What's wrong then?

The tyre tracks seem far apart, although it could be the picture. There also looks like a motorbike has gone up the middle.

not sure if this is something "wrong" but it is in the picture

Am I right???

ive had two high end hand built bikes in the uk and the reason they dont route the cablles on the botttom of the downtube is the snow,salt and water gets to them over winter. top tube mounted cables look really sexy( god im sad!) but end up scratching the hell out of your top tube.

the tyre is a IRC Trail Bear which is designed for freeride/DH and therefore should not be on a rigid frame!(unless your just some hardcore rigid fan)
