I’m afraid I can’t remember who built this – it was in the inventor’s area at an IFMA bike show a few years ago. just found it on an old memory card

A little bit of machining required, but I think this is the best way to fit a Rohloff shifter to something with drop bars – looks tidy, and you can operate it peppergrinder-style with either hand…

I’m back at the shop from today – though with four hours sleep per night, I’m a bit dopey so please speak slowly
For the moment, I’m back to the usual 10am to 5pm hours – might need to change this a bit, but I’ll see how things go. This is the only gratuitous baby picture I’ll inflict on you:
Well, until I need promotional pictures of trailers or Like-A-Bikes or something

He was driving 60mph in a 40mph zone, on the wrong side of the road, and lied about whether the cyclist had lights – he got 240 hours community service.

I’ll be closed for a few days – probably the rest of this week – due to the imminent arrival of offspring. I’ll update this if anything changes – back soon

Found some old pictures of a bike I helped build for the artist Simon Starling – called Tabernas Desert Run, this fuel-cell-powered bike was ridden through the Spanish desert. It’s now in GoMA – Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art.
It’s got a 2kW Ballard fuel cell, running from two aluminium hydrogen tanks which would be fitted to the seatstays. The fuel cell was used to keep a NiMH battery pack charged, and the battery pack ran a 900W Heinzmann motor through a custom control system.
It’s meant to look bodged, by the way

Just finished this off – got the rack and mudguard to go on, but that’s it
I’m going to offer this as a kit to convert any Brompton to Rohloff gearing – it’s easy to fit, and the folding is unaffected apart from making the bike about 2cm wider.
