If your bike looks nicer than this...

...then send us a photo of it for goodness sake.
Actually, whatever your ride, let us know what you think of it. It doesn't have to be new - it could be some old crate that you just love.

Write a few well chosen words, give it marks out of ten, stars, whatever. Tell us why you like it, things you'd change, what else you'd compare it to. And include a piccy if you can.






By the way, the Colnago in these photos took two weeks to hand paint and has a price tag of seven and a half grand. It is not available from Streetlife.

Nice isn't it? New P2 CroMo

We've just taken delivery of a pair of these cheeky chaps and they really are the business. Your eyes may be drawn to the fashionable brown and white colour theme but check the details as well - Marzocchi DJ3 with none of that tiresome top-out, solid SRAM, Truvativ and Avid bits and Specialized's own big flange hubs in pimpin' pink. Sweet.

What's New?

Hi everyone, sorry about the lack of posts. Plenty to report.


First up, the BMX race meeting at Sloughbottom Nov 19th. All the guys with Streetlife stickers on their bikes gave a good account of themselves. Chris Carr made the Formula 1 A Final, which was a blistering race, won by World number 2 Alan Hill from National Champion John Lillingstone. Nice company to be rubbing elbows with! Fruity was on fire in his motos and semi but unfortunately got squeezed in the Formula 2 A Final. Charlie made the Formula 2 B Final riding his MTB but a quick switch to the Revell cruiser turbocharged him and he ruled it from gate to line. Andrew and Gary both rode well throughout the day and considering it was the first competitive outing for most of the gang a very fine day's riding by all. Big thanks to Norwich Flyers BMX Club for organising a great meet.


Streetlife regular and bike mentalist Chris Betts has been in with his self-produced video. If we can work out how to get it online, we will. It contains plenty of nutty moments from Chris's favourite Norwich haunts, Mousehold and the UEA.

We'd like to point out that all Chris's crazy ideas are entirely his own. Also that he's a shining example of what can happen if you spend too much time riding your bike.

So the weather's a bit iffy at the moment, but that just makes it more fun to dream about the summer and perfect riding conditions. The 2007 Norwich 100/50 takes place on Sunday June 3rd so you'll want to get in training soon. In our opinion there's no better bike on which to ride the 100 than a Specialized Roubaix (Tom Boonen's new steed) so why not pop in and order yourself some cushy carbon comfort right now. (You can always stick it on a trainer until the rain stops in April).
