Post a Picture of Your Brooks and Bike

[RoseC]

Nice, Sandra! All that black and silver is very classy! Man...all of you B-67 folks are makin' me wonder if I shoulda gone all the way and gotten springs!

And SGTiger, BOY that Brooks bar tape looks nice! My LBS carries it. Hm...it's something to think about for someday, I guess! I really like the look!

Mimi...what's the bag behind your saddle? Is that new?

My bike is at the shop getting the fenders put on. *sniff* No bike commute tomorrow for me. But I'll have to get new pictures once the fenders are all set!

I did notice the cute kid. One of yours?

I'm a bad mama. I didn't even notice DS when I was taking the picture.

here's another one; focusing on my saddle, well, then Enza came out and got into the photo.

Another great picture of your beautiful Davidson! Enza is a beauty, too. Her markings remind me of a cat that came with the house we rented when we lived in Corvallis. I miss having a cat. <sniff. sniff.>

And do my motherly eyes spy a Lego Bionicle in his hand?

Your parental peepers are not deceiving you.

And SGTiger, BOY that Brooks bar tape looks nice! My LBS carries it. Hm...it's something to think about for someday, I guess! I really like the look!

Thank-you. Part of my B-day gift from DH last month.

I think Mimi got the Velo Orange croissant bag that DH and I have:

It's our "small" saddlebag for light use.

Ok girls, listen up. I WANT that Velo Orange croissant bag, but I am so vain, I'm wondering how that brown bag will look on my silver (with red and black trim) bike and black BROOKS!

So, what is there to consider that would go with mine? I have not bought seat bags or lights yet.

Sandra, you're no worse than me. That's right, i got that bag after I saw it on Lisa's bike.
At my bike shop they had a green canvas bag (expensive brand... name escapes me) and they tried to talk me into putting it on my bike. but it was GREEN!
there was NO WAY that was going on my bike!!!

[sandra]

so, WHAT did you have on your black bike?

[mimitabby]

oh, me? On my blue and yellow Bianchi I had a little tiny (inadequate) black canvas bag. It was only big enough for a spare tube, a multi tool, a plastic bag to protect the saddle in case of rain, rim tools & a latte lock. and every time i opened it everything fell out.

I forgot your bike was blue and yellow. I was thinking black.

That sounds like my little Trek seat bag now. I have about exactly the same thing in it, plus my cell phone, which hit the ground as soon as I unzipped it the last time we rode.
