Show me your Winter bikes

[Dalai]

flaaier: SKS is very nice. I have Bluemels. Don't buy Zefal, they aren't good at all.

+1 Zefals were useless. They had a quick clip which if knocked once or twice tended to not hold the guards after that. So I spent the one winter using them held together with tape...

I now have the SKS chromoplastics mounted on an older steel frame which had eyelets, so was simple to install and use a much more secure mounting system.

Thanks for the input guys. I think i'm going to buy the sks raceblade set, they look easy to mount and dismount. Those bleumels look real descent to, but i don't have extra eyelets on my frontfork.

Neither did I so I used a couple of plastic seatpost reflector brackets, worked treat.

Well, as the Cervelo P3 allready has a half integrated mudgard in the rear wheel : i extended it with a SKS raceblade to get a nice triathlon winterbike. Since the picture was taken i have closed the gab under the rearbrake by gluing a 2nd section of mudgard onto the SKS, so it is now fully extended and integrated with the seattubecutout.

[jalapeno]

lol, laughing at reactions above! If you're doing TT-specific training in your race position i think it's a grand idea, assuming you can afford a P3 as a winter machine...

[Leviathan]

That P3 looks so out their it kind of transcends ugly and goes back to being cool again- its like the guy I saw going over a 1500m col on a brompton

[giant man]

That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time!

[tochnics]

if that p3 is just a winterbike then its full on bike loving there

i heard about a guy riding to spain on a brompton folding bike
i had the bike and mayby its the same person
this on had a double chainring crank without a front mech
mind you all bromptons only have hub gears

Here´s my other winter toy...

[Flossie]

Here’s my ’winter hack’!

A bit OTT, but well cared for and oh so nice to ride !
With the Nutron wheels it weighs 19.1 pounds with the mudguards. I’m not really one for bike maintenance, hence the 280s hubs, ceramic rims, plus all the other bearings are sealed cartridges.

Hope you like it!
