I saw the pic. But that is not a baby just yet, it is only an embryo so you cannot call yourself a daddy already.It needs to grow and have wheels and lots of other things which will make it a usefull member of our society! Anyhow, why do think it is a 'she'? Didn't you notice the crossbar?! Regards, Mario

I am probably too young to know what a BB is. Or is it something typically American we English wouldn't understand? Discuss! (or at least explain) mario

I'm not going to claim my knowledge on the subject is as good as many people's, but isn't there something funny going on with the fork arrangement? Or is this how you set up your bikes on that side of the pond?

I just had another look - you are right!When I glimpsed it first I got stuck on the gender problem and overlooked a fairly vital issue. When it is grown up will it be a dual-purpose monocycle? Whatever, it certainly made me laugh.

No, you're both wrong... isn't it obvious?? I've had Robin set it up so that I can spin cotton whilst touring. BTW, BB=Bottom bracket-fairly straight ahead wouldn't you say?  |

Oh ... I thought it was set up like that so you could tour above and below the equator. Color? (Or should I say 'Colour'?) |

With gold decals.

Black and gold. Tasteful opulence. For the inevitable chips and dings: Testors Gloss Black Enamel works fine. Lay in a supply before you take your baby out of the box. Walmart has 1/4 and 1 oz. bottles in the toy department. |

"Tasteful opulence"
Thanks, I agree.
As far as touching up goes... not sure Testers will work... I am going the route of powdercoating for bombproofing durability.

How many black tester bottles do you need when the baby comes out of the box and do need more or fewer of them if it hangs on the wall? Did you not know that babies are always powdercoated? But the colour black is wonderfull particularly with gold. Such bombproof elegance!!! I've got a black Brompton, a green hybrid and a bright blue Moulton.((I hope the Thorn[  ] people don't throw me off the Forum now.)) |
