The Ouzo Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 So the accepted formula for the amount of bikes you should own is N + 1, this we agree! Having research this and found it to be extremely accurate but not altogether achievable or sustainable due to the increasing cost of compliance, I thought that surely similar formulae exist for other facets of cycling...my research has found that the same formula exists for footwear... Having deduced this, I now present to you for your eye-ball feasting, my latest attempt at compliance and effort to engage the retro facet of my personality (albeit not a large one but never-mind, the formula does not choose your predilection, it is omnipotent) :Those remind me so much of the first cycling shoes I ever used, they were my dads old shoes and the "cleat" for the tow hook pedals was nailed to the wooden sole of the shoe. Really cool capediver 1
capediver Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I love the retro look. From the boardroom to a quick century after work. Indeed.... Duane_Bosch, Chris_, shaper and 4 others 7

BSG Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Nope, just found it less suitable than I would have liked. Mine where never noisy, I had 2 of them. My current solution is just more cost effective, no need to have 2 full sets of everything. The expensive stuff can simply move from bike to bike, but each one can have all their cheap stuff. I found “hiding” things away easier and neater with straps.Reme would you mind posting close up pics of how you strap the tube etc down please. I've all of a sudden this weekend also decided to take off the saddle bag because it doesn't look so nice, although it's practical to put everything in there.
