Bike porn

true that.

Might look like that, but in order to get proper aero-profile steel tubing Rob had to use tubes with much thicker walls than you normally would use on a bike. Steel bike tubes are generally between 0.35mm and 0.6mm in the middle sections (thicker at the ends, obviously, on double-butted tubing) but the walls on that one are much thicker. I suspect they're 16g, or 1.6mm. The downside is it's heavy. The upside is it's still reasonably strong despite the small tube sizes. And I suspect it's not all that stiff. At all. Wibbly wobbly in fact.

Still not porn though.

Reep Friday you say?

No way. Not then, not now!

He built his own TT bike and has good times riding it. That's got to count for something.

Again, no.

I suspect they're 16g, or 1.6mm

I think they are even more than that, IIRC 10g or 3.2mm, which is also what I calculated (back of a fag packet, not precise) they would need to be for his ¾" wide downtube to be about as stiff as a 753 1⅛" × 0.5mm wall downtube.

Oh my..

It's overpriced. Here in Amsterdam RIH iron is all over the place. Not porn either.

If it's all over the place in Amsterdam, then please do share with the rest of the world.

Marktplaats is your friend. I'll happily act as middleman if necessary.
