Oooh, I wish you'd build frames for us plebs...that looks like a lovely ride.
I hope you jammed your bike pump in his front spokes at that point!
Rob- there's enough bad behaviour on those 'fun' rides without me going round starting fights.
You have to remember that the guy is a pom, from where they have real winters and put salt on the roads. He is culturally incapable of seeing the difference between a winter bike and a road bike with mudguards.
Oli- These days I'm so crap I can't even get around to building the 4 or 5 bicycles that 'need' for myself, let alone the pressing requirements of my friends. When the missus gets a real job...
I understand entirely - life is pretty busy! :D
Nice mudguards, I'm on the lookout for some wider full guards - where do you get them?
Those are Bluemels guards. Imported by Marleen wholesalers.
You can also get SKS (also imported by Marleen) or Phillips, which are similar, but IMO not as well designed and brittle.
Any bikeshop in NZ can order a set for you.
