Bike porn

Sorry! It cropped half the comic off. Corrected now.

Really not a fan of these bi / ti / crabon wankery. One or the other please. Fug.

That Firefly is lovely. Shame about the gold hubs and campag though..

@bmx_fred Ah, but taking into account the illusion of wheels spinning backwards when up to speed, maybe mavic were cleverer than you're giving them credit for.

For that illusion to work your wheel needs spokes. or some other kind of recurring pattern.

Stereoscopic.

Like dots spaced evenly around the wheel?

No need for a recurring pattern, just some marker to indicate position. If you have only one mark (the comet), the wheel needs to be rotating slightly slower than the frame rate, so 24 revs per second would do for 25frames per second TV. That does mean you'd have to get up to just over 100mph to generate the effect.

mechamorgan: thanks. now i understand everything :-)

^^ so it's just optimistic then

Scienced.

Better get one of those Royce chainwheels then.

There are more appropriate threads for that bike, you seem to have committed the ultimate noob faux pas of posting your own bike in this thread.

Im sure I'll get over it.

Tj quirke bike ain't porn!

I suspect most on this forum won't agree with you on that one, or understand why you've posted it.

is that one of them 125cc mopeds?

I suspect anybody on this forum who is over 25 saw plenty of that when it was launched 10 years ago.

I thought most people on this forum took up cycling in 2007?
