Hi All,
Out and about with the Nomad, first time I have had a camera with me.
Had the bike a few months now, Great bike and really like the rohloff hub.
Cheers,
Ian
The Priory at Dunfermline Abbey - January 2012

What a great shot, Ian! What amazes me is you got the Abbey to pretty much match the color of your saddle! ;)
How 'bout some more shots? Lots of interesting bike details there as well...a gorgeous tan Brooks, and what appears to be a front pannier rack that isn't a Thorn Low-Loader? Nice looking rack-pack as well; what a fine location for photography. Well done!
Best,
Dan.

With your obvious talent for photography, lets hope you take your camera with you more often on your cycling outings! And of course post the results on here ;D

A fine photo of what once was the capital of Scotland - thats why we live in the Kingdom of Fife ;D Superb machine as well, first I have seen in yellow, look forward to a rohloff outing soon!
cheers

Hi All,
A famous son of Dunfermline was born here.
I reckon he loved steel as well !
Cheers
Ian

obviously the clue is in the steel, but i have no idea who the famous son is :-[
go on put me out of my mysery ;)
-
Andrew Carnegie, perhaps?
-
Yes Jim.

Interested? I'll say! ;D Ian, you've got a wonderful bike there, and kitted-out in a way to make Thorn proud!
Besides that, you've got a wonderful way with a camera. This could well be a professional product brochure for the company. What an outstanding job! The magnetic pixels are a great touch; they keep me coming back for another look-see.
Of course, showing a closeup hasn't quelled the questions -- far from it! Um...Ian...did you make your own (yellow) brake bands to work with the Click-Stand? Maybe velcro? They look great, and are a perfect match for the paint scheme. And...what a terrific taillight setup. I recognize the CatEye, but are those two others mounted below it?
More! :D
Best,
Dan.

Hi Dan,
The brake bands are Livestrong wristbands, work perfect.
The rear light is a set of "AY-UP" lights from Australia, they are fitted with red Saxon caps. Great burn time on 1/2 power and very bright. Also use a set on helmet to complement front light.
Cheers

Hi All,
Trip to Edinburgh today.
This Engineering marvel was looking good, it has been covered with scaffold and tarpaulin for years.
The new paint is said to last 20-30 years!
Cheers,

Man, Ian, these photos of yours just keep getting better and better! How ever do you do it?
Fantastic shots, Thorn needs to hire you for a magazine ad campaign.
Best,
Dan.

Cheers Ian,
They are Thorn Flat Track Bars.

Great looking bike. I've got the Ergon GR3s on my thorn comfort bars at the moment. They work fine but the bars plus grips are a bit wide overall. I'm expecting delivery of some Flat Track bars which should give me a narrower profile. I'll be interested to find out how well they compare on long rides.
-
Whats the stand you have please ? One of those would be handy for stopping sratches on the car as I balance the bikes against it when we're camped.
On the topic of bars, I have some straight bars, ergon grips on my xtc, and i've been trimming the bars narrower and narrower. I prefer them that way for the commute and chucking it into the boot. Bust a mirror the other day when the bike blew over, so replaced it with a cat eye one from wiggle.

Its a click stand from America, works great.
Hi All
Was out today had a stop at Lochore Meadows Country Park.

This old Petrol station caught my eye,

Really nice use of the tonalities of black and white, Ian. One sees it so seldom these days; makes me miss the old Tri-X pushed to ISO 1600 or so for low-light work.
Fine job, as always!
Best,
Dan.

hi
how do you find the Nomad unladen? As a day ride bike, rather than a serious camper/expedition bike.
thanks

A good bike for winter commuting, feels stable even in high winds.
The marathon extremes do give some drag, I realised that when I was out last week with Dave on his RST.
Had to pedal to keep up with Dave on the descents.
Cheers

Great Photo's

Nice picture.
I am about to take the plunge for a Nomad but would like more info on what it is like as a day by day ride rather than crossing China.
Maybe I am asking too much of the bike to do both but when i get back I would like to be able to use the bike for general commuting around town and country.
I know they weigh a bit but will thinner tyres help for when I return to UK?
Thanks
