Is that some sort of home-built creation?

Looks interesting.

Its the work of a skilled bicycle builder, a similar sized 2 wheel recumbent by the same person shared the same stable

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

My full Italian stable with the latest addition - just built up the de Rosa frame with full 11 speed Campy Chorus gruppo. I think it is a Neo Pro, but not 100% sure as it looks like they only officially released those in a pearly white. The paint scheme is very similar to the de Rosa Cassanova, but that had internally routed rear brake, a different fork and was built with Columbus Brain tubing. Mine is externally routed rear brake, unicrown fork and labelled with Columbus Genius tubing. Either way, she is a gem to ride.

I give up posting photos on this site.
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.

Postimage for me is the easiest (for someone that doesn't have or wish to have, facebook, insta, twitter etc). No account, just convert to the public bin and copy the forum link to paste straight in without using the tags.

Its no Tapatalk though!

My new wheels: - Fulcrum Racing Zero Carbon - with kind of unique decals than the originals.

^^ 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.
ID please? What ID? My seat tube ID is 27.2mm or 31.6mm depending on what bikes I ride today.thanks...

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!)

Yep.
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.

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 :cry: but I forget to delete all the guff if I haven’t posted recently. Age related issue.

Anyway, we'll see if this works.
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.

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.

Very nice pics, bike looks pristine too. :)


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:

Image

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.
