    I guess they just have different tastes.

  • Hello!

    These are a near mint condition American Classic's 420 Aero 3 wheelset. They have been used for less than 100km and carry only a few slight blemishes that are only noticeable on very close inspection.

    The blue colour-way is beautiful, and as a limited edition i can guarantee you won't see many about. They carry the full original decals and have some sharp looking AC bladed spokes, 18 on the front, 24 on the back. The rear wheel carries a shimano 10/11 cassette.

    These are a truly lovely wheelset and the main reason i am selling them is sheerly that i don't ride enough to justify having them!

    Please forward me any questions. Can pm or email me at merrickstrotton@gmail.com

    Thanks!
    Merrick

  • ^ If Create made road bikes...

  • Shimano been Novataken.

  • reversed supertype FTW !

  • Dat gaston

  • I'm surprised this thread isn't full of photos from bespoke, there was some God awful builds there.

    Just see people linking to HHSB on a thread about Tarck, which seems wholly appropriate and possible from people on here. Don't see any fun being made of.

    Like this one?

    Veloboo

    Worth the entry fee alone, Veloboo brought along a €38,000 bike! For the money you get a bamboo frameset and Campagnolo Centaur. Not even Super Record. The reason why it’s so expensive, of course, is the 24-carat gold plating on the components – rims, brakes and bars. The Hungarian company didn’t gold plate the rear derailleur, because that would have been “too much”, Rafeal Petrocz at the stand told us.

    Bamboo? Check
    Gold bits? Check
    Complete and utter pointlessness? Check

    Here you go sir, your first class ticket to Anti Porn

  • There was a more bamboo bikes with god awful pink carbon joints, had to keep a straight face whilst we were in the studio shooting the guys bikes. He'd made a raleigh chopper out of bamboo too, it had Di2 Alfine. so foul, he mentioned he didn't sell may bikes, didn't surprise me.

    Also bear bikes on the new builder stand, some awful black and lime green fixie straight out of 2006. bars wraped the wrong way, nasty cheap components, could have easily been straight from create/foffa etc

    best bit about this was their gaudy black and limegreen branded shirts...

  • Did that have gold plated braking surfaces as well? Most expensive rim wear ever

  • No, look again, they're not plated.

  • Was thinking the same... Change the bar angle then I reckon it's an "alright" leader.

  • I was hoping the bear stand was ironic...

  • so many spokes on that leader!

  • Not the nicest but it's got decent parts and looks alright aesthetically. I think it's unfair to put it in anti purely because of the brand. If it didn't have the leader decals it wouldn't be posted here

  • so many spokes on that leader!

    Ah go on, 32/32 isn't exactly excessive. Apart from the bar angle it's not that offensive.

  • so many spokes on that leader!

    to the point of offsetting any advantages of having a carbon frame

  • nooooooo

  • What the....?
