Super Clean Signum

Continuing the never ending list of small bicycle manufactures, let's take a look at this Signum bicycle.

What really stands out for me, is just how clean this bike is. Ok, so there's a few little dirt spots, but this would seem to be a very fair weather bicycle, one that probably hasn't seen the winter months.

But the best bit, the really great bit, is this awesome golf sticker.
The cycling equivalent of a 'I'd rather be playing golf' sticker?

The Bike Tube Logo Wallpaper Giveaway

So here's something I thought I'd just give a try to. Seeing as the tube logos I get are all such similar sizes, why not put them together into one nice stripy picture? I've included it as 1024x768 and 1280x800. So just in case you have the same resolution monitor as me (or less), and want to make it your wallpaper (Yes you do!), enjoy! But otherwise it's just here to have a look at as a collective work of tubes.

Bicycle Welfare Checkup

I posted about the bicycle drowning in snow during the long Swedish winter.
It didn't seem to be doing too well.

Well here's a spring time update for you.
Someone's picked it up, brushed it off, and left it in the bike stand to rot away in peace for many more months to come! It stands today as a celebration of the fact that even in a bicycle theft capital such as Lund, a really terrible bike will simply not be stolen.

Many Monarks make a Monark Museum

Ok so this might not quite be a Monark museum yet, but the never-ending fascination with vintage Monark bicycles does persist, especially with examples like this just sitting round every corner.
Svenskt kvalitetsfabrikat is a label you see on quite a few of the older bikes in Sweden, usually accompanied by this awesome logo!



I even remembered to take a general picture of the bike!
