Commuters: How much pimp is too much pimp?

[pbp2007]

This isn't exactly blingy, but it does draw the occasional look of amazement and the occasional slipped disc when people try to pick the thing up.

 

What we have here is Steady Eddy in commuter trim (well, to be honest, it doesn't vary).

 

1. B&M Cyo IQ headlight. Note patriotic Buff for Friday use.

 

 

2. My ding-a-ling.

 

 

3. The fing wot keeps my feet and legs from getting splashed. Note liberal use of 3M reflective tape and cunningly colour-co-ordinated bottle cages. If you look carefully, you can see the two rear lights (one battery, one dynamo with integrated reflector).

 

 

4. The Hub: SON 28 dynamo hub (thanks, JB). Note liberal use of high-tech zip ties because of lack of mounting eyes for mudguards.

 

 

5. Carradice Barley, hanging from Bagman Sport rack.

 

 

6. Road Morph attached to top tube.

Very nice pbp2007

 

The more fortunate amongst homeless people have a car to sleep in and strap all their stuff to.

I hope that is a tent in your pannier 'bag'. What is the shiny thing on the handlebars? It looks like a nifty little kettle.
