I've been on a first Aid course this week so no squinternet. I was riding the &gt;X&lt; home this eve (from the train st) and hopped up a kerb and flattened my rear tyre... I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago on my MTB up a kerb.... Mental note to self, don't hop up kerbs above 10mph... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40681 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:58:03 +0000 ruggtomcat 40681@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>cross bike + Edinburgh tenaments = carryWIN </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40680 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:57:53 +0000 tarmac jockey 40680@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>DaveC - that is a handsome ride and braw spot to show it off.

I still have my Specialized Shoulder Holder bag from 1988. Mind you, I haven't used it since about 1993. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40653 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:18:01 +0000 wingpig 40653@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My only cage is on the seat tube and doesn't interfere with shouldering. One of those vintage TdF clips doing the rounds indicated that everyone used to keep their bottle slung under the stem clamp. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40650 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 00:27:52 +0000 kaputnik 40650@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ooh I never noticed that. I thought in 'cross you just drank a face full of mudddy stream, negating the need for bottles :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40648 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 00:08:40 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 40648@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>According to Cotic it's a cross bike design thang. Basically a bottle cage on the seat tube would get in the way of shouldering the bike. That said, they also say the top tube being oval in shape is for 'comfort' I've shouldered it. Can't say it felt any different to a round tube... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40645 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 22:48:12 +0000 Cyclingmollie 40645@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice bike. I've not seen that bottle holder arrangement before. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40644 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 22:36:05 +0000 kaputnik 40644@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Great photo Dave. I had fun riding my bike down that slipway to get closer to the Queen Elizabeth liner to take photos. The Brooks is very fetching. I should know, I have the same one :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40640 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 21:43:57 +0000 steveo 40640@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice photo, nice bike...</p> <p>/jealous </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3849#post-40638 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 21:35:17 +0000 DaveC 40638@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well after some fettling last night I managed to get on the RSP tri bars &amp; lights on the handlebars.
