MY WINTERBIKE: SINGULAR PEREGRINE

finally some pictures of my new whip and the components I used. since winter came so early and with such impact, I'll postpone the "bling-bling" new bike post to spring next year, when the snow has melted and I can clean everything properly without severely freezing my hands. until then, I'll just keep riding it.

the SINGULAR PEREGRINE is a great frameset. it is not light but still agile, the geometry with it's flat angles and shorter top tube is more comfortable than a road bike and gives you good control, even in conditons that we are facing right now.

I'm using SCHWALBE RACING RALPH tyres which have very good grip in snow and mud. they are not very good on ice or re-frozen snow on the streets, I guess a studded tyre like the MARATHON WINTER

another great feature as a "can-do-it-all" bike is the dynohub powered lighting system from BUSCH & MUELLER. I use the 60 lux version of their IQ CYO series and it's really bright and focused.

as you can see in the pictures above, I switched from the NITTO MOUSTACHE handlebars to a road bar setup. I do like the special look of the moustache bars but was not really happy with hand positions and the overall width. if you are interested in those bars, I'm selling them for 40 euros. leave your e-mail adress in the comments and I'll get in touch with you.

STOLEN BIKE

this is the first time I have to post a picture of a stolen bike and I hope this doesn't happen too often in the future!

this bike was stolen from a bike syndikat member on 27th november in the altstadt in cologne
rupe was involved in an accident and while the ambulance took care of him, some asshole stole his bike, mobile phone and wallet.
I think it is really disgusting to steal things from an injured person. below you can find a picture of his a bike, a green nishiki. if you know anything about the incident or if you see the the bike somewhere around town, lock it up and get in touch with me or bike syndikat. thanks for your help.
