The Official "Post Your Bike" Picture Thread!!!
So I've had a hunt about, and there's no picture thread for bikes and their setups! :O
I like to perv at bikes, I'm a bit of a Peeping Tom in that respect
So post your bike below, what gear you're using etc.
I'll get mine uploaded when I get home :)

Re: The Official "Post Your Bike" Picture Thread!!!
Originally a 2014 charge cooker 3 hardail. Went rigid after forks failed, went dropbar due to wrist issues with flat bars.
Here with tri-bars on for a mixed gravel roads trip and larger than usual tent for camping with a mate (Alpkit Jaran 3).
Says I can only upload 1 image

SSGeorge how'd you find the spoon saddle?
Mine is fine for shorter rides, but after every long day(for me, 120km) I've get a sore patch. Could be due to terrain/damp though.
Been using a WTB rocket lately which I like, but it restricts movement off the back of the seat due to its width.

Re: The Official "Post Your Bike" Picture Thread!!!
Cheers
My issue might be due to width as its narrower than recommended when I had a (road) bike fit with a saddle pressure map. Was always fine for up to 3-4 hours though.

Sounds daft, but try the Charge Ladle, its the womens version, about 10 or 12mm wider? My mate had the same issue with Spoons, needed a wider saddle and opted for that. Worked great for himModer-dye wrote:Cheers

After a recent 3 day trip. All the luggage is home made apart from the seat pack. Set up rigid but I do have sus forks as well but I prefer it rigid at the moment.

This was my bike yesterday. It's a Pinnacle Ramin 1 with some upgrades. I love it for bikepacking, it works a treat.
XT mechs and shifters, Easton carbon bars with Ergon GS3s (yay barends!), Deore chainset/BB (I wanted a wider range of gears and 2/3x9 is much cheaper than 1x11). Rockshox 30 Gold forks (surprisingly decent for a budget fork albeit a bit twangy if pushed hard), Reverb dropper (off another bike that I upgraded) but can be swapped for a Thomson Elite if I feel like it, standard wheels and tyres set up tubeless, Gorilla clips on the forks, Monki V cage under down tube when required. Mostly this was stuff I had lying around.

Arkose awaiting the TNR.
My lovely Inbred somewhere near Camban bothy.
Ooh, my SS 'monster-cross' thing.
Another Inbred shot ... we were searching for somewhere to kip that wasn't beneath 2 feet of snow.
... and here's my Stooge getting all moody.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Re: The Official "Post Your Bike" Picture Thread!!!
Lovely thread. Makes me want go out and ride
My commute bike not in commute mode in Iceland.
My former short travel bike, BMC Fourstroke, in the Fisherfield. Has lately been replaced by a 2017 Kona HeiHei DL, with which I've not yet been out on a multi day trip.
Long travel bike in the Alps. Bold Linkin Trail LT.
Fatbike in the Alps. Muru Witjira.
So happy with the bunch and feel like I can settle down with those four types of bikes for a long time to come.
