Winter bikes??? Sorry I was expecting pics of some of our Canadian brethren bundled up, riding some Nokian studded MTB tires on ice or something. Lol

How about these two then Morpeth,the Ghisallo is Jim's and the Vortex is mine.Both pretty much built the same,Record,new Ksyrium SL Premium wheels,trying out some Lupine Wilma 6 lights which are a vast improvement on the light n motion i used last year,race blades fitted when needed.Just put some guards on yours and be done with it mate

One of most stunning (proper) winter bikes i've ever seen, genuinley jealous! Can't believe you can get proper mudgaurds on there. Looks amazing. very very cool, puts many race bikes to shame.

the above link is mine and it's pretty solid, I'm saving my pennies right now for 3 months bike touring through S America early next year but next winter I'll take this one step further into my ultimate winter bike with a titanium frame, still fixed gear with full guards but a ti frame for immunity to the salt and wet, Honjo polished mudguards (sorry, fenders) and ceramic rims, though that's unnecessary really 'cos there is only a brake on the front and that doesn't get used much as most is done with my legs.

This is my winter/gravel ride.

here's mine, ridden almost every day through winter, if you ride in the UK through winter without mudguards two things will happen.. you'll end up riding alone and your bike will get trashed.



got rid of the strike now, back on a nice and comfy aliante

Ouch, that would be turbo trainer in front of the fire for me then

Makes the cold evenings a bit warmer. Stickers will be changed into the 2008 version.

I'm embarassed to show mine!!
A £200 Dawes bike, with stick on mudguards, a powertap SL, a tl1100 cateye rear light, and a lupine wilma8 on the front. Same lights as Alan, spooky.
Guess who rides mtb?
