The Fluorobeast - now with less fluoro
For a while now (like, around 18 months), I've been meaning to cut down the flat bar on my daily SLUT commuter-scooter, the "Fluorobeast".
Well today, I found myself in the backyard with a newborn strapped to my chest. I was attempting to hang out the washing on the clothes horse (don't trust Melb weather), but that wasn't quite enough for the freshie. She wanted to be outside. So, looking for things to do outside, I thought, hey... why not?

Hi there - did the same thing to my mtb a few weeks ago. I have a much more comfortable riding position now and my arms are nice and relaxed.

Late 80s. (Hence the fluoro). Perhaps ahead of its time?

Re: the STUPID wide bars. Were they a mid to late 90's edition? There was a lot of albatross wingspan stuff on 'comfort bikes' around at that time. Although it seems evolution/sizing/balance has moved on since then.

Pipe cutters gets a nice result too.
But in ref to Stav, this is just plain daft \/
Come to think of it, the whole ensemble is kinda naff, although the basket wins a solitary point.
