As promised..

Had another twiddle with the usb cable, so here's pics of the newly
powdercoated RED Steed.

The kitchen. The most obvious place to put a frame.

Small but almost perfectly formed.

Posing demurely.

Posing again.

While outside Pellegrini's on Saturday arvo, Rooman mentioned some
smartypants remark about leaving the Steed out in the rain to see if
the frame would grow. Sorry mate, it's a 41cm frame and remaining that
size.

As with most unfinished Projects, the Steed is awaiting further bike
p0rn 'accoutrements' subject to stringent budget restrictions.
Unfortunately the fleeting dalliance with barend shifters and Salsa
cyclo-cross levers hasn’t worked out and I will probably commit a
serious crime against nature by utilising flat bar integrated shifters
with bull horns.

And this wasn't a decision taken lightly, as I've also had crack at
several other combinations, including Kelly Take-offs for the original
downtube shifters. Oh well, it's my bike & I'll do want I want.
Including a uber trendy purple-anodised 24T in the triple, courtesy of

The PAUL thumb conversion for barends worked for me. . .

But shouldn't that style of ride be fixed :-)

Mmm, that's rather pretty!

Tell me, why are people so obsessed with the Ace of Spades?
Personally, I think the five of diamonds has a sweet charm all of its
own! ;-)

Motorhead circa 1980. It was a formative life experience.

FYI it's an a.b spokecard, ask nicely and I'll laminate (free) one for
you, or you can go DIY.

Well, it's OK, but it's no five of diamonds... ;-)

The five of diamonds does have an elegance of simplicity and symmetry
unmatched by the other numbers and suits.

I'm preparing for a barrage of ridicule, but wasn't that Ace of Base??
I do recall (from much Young Ones watching) that Motorhead had a track
called Ace of Spades.
