Sadly this one sat for 2 years in the care of a bicycle enthusiast mostly stabled in the garage after the builder got too sick
Quite dusty but mechanicly sound. Needs new tyres, brakes re-tensioned. All the small things
Originally designed to be motor assisted with a mid drive motor on that side plate
Shes quite a beast.. Suprisingly easy to pedal and more unstable at lower speeds than high
6 speed with a mindboggling array of derailers, chain tensioners and chains to final drive on one wheel
Feels more motorbike cruiser than tricycle
With enough storage space for my wheelchair.
The low seat, high handlebars and length has this 37 year old feeling a bit like a kid on an adult bike
Much better than the china built run of the mill tricycle I was eyeing when this popped up

Flicker is useless and I don't have a twitter acct (or want one) so that's that.

Instagram seems to work OK and i don't think it is going to fall over too soon. Dead easy to use also.warthog1 wrote:I give up posting photos on this site.

Like that do you mean? Its a shame it doesn't have that option as a hotlink with just the img so figure it works just as well with the url as well?? (I'm lazy - don't want to be editing it - paste and forget is my theory!)Bunged Knee wrote:^^ Would be better to remove the url in the pic , so it won't go back to postimage with ads. Only use the img to post it.

I found out when I done it and it was annoying to include cr@p ads when it wasn't months ago.
Before that you can hotlink and forget with no ads but now it's gone downhill with more work to remove the url. I like the old lazy way.

Edit: I clicked copy link on the photo in the app which came up with a https address. that didn't work when added to the insta shortcut.
So I deleted all the guff and kept just the short code like your link has.
Surely there is an easier way?

Yep. That is what I do. Not that difficult but I forget to delete all the guff if I haven’t posted recently. Age related issue.warthog1 wrote:

Got the mighty Ribble sand blasted to make it more PC when riding with local LBS staff and owners.
None have said anything, but still...
A bit of work with wet and dry, steel wool and aluminium polish and it was done.

Very nice pics, bike looks pristine too.IncognitoMosquito wrote:Busy working my way around the North island of NZ. Took my de Rosa as easier to pack due to ahead stem arrangement making removal of bars easier. Managed to sneak a bike ride or two in. Will probably change bars and stem over Xmas.
I've been changing up mine a bit of recent - some new Easton E100 bars added (these are supposed to be 40cm, but they are wider than my old "40cm" bars). I also added a SRAM XG-1190 cassette. Next step is to convert it over to a Pioneer power meter system. As below, 6.89kg:
Those FSA Gossamer alloy bars that were on it before were horrible on a bumpy road I use regularly, so harsh. These Easton carbon bars take away the bumps and vibrations very well. I'd like to take it overseas again in this form, but I doubt it'd make it without damage - so I guess I'll be putting those alloy bars back on again.
