Wow!

Totes amazeballs!

What does it ride like?

Obligatory "too small for me, GLWS" comment.

@NorthLondonLight this looks like your kind of machine...

Very nice, would love it myself but no monies :(

Thanks for the comments
Incredibly stiff perhaps due to the design & the extra split tubes.. I'm 15 stone & can normally shift a bit of flex in the bb area of any bike... But this just doesn't budge...
Absolutely flies & holds a line brilliantly if you got decent rubber fitted
Only 3rd owner as I bought the complete bike from a Swiss ex pat
Originally fitted with carbon Spinergys

pics of build?

Sorry no pictures of bike as original as the Spinergys are sold
but I have a pair of ksyrium if you need a pic of clearances & I have the Shimano 600 groupset if it's of interest

It was well known on the forum a while ago, here's one example, totally worth getting.

Would totally go for it had I not got bicycles already.

Thanks Ed, looks great, and @giosgios

Matt, it is, indeed my kind of thing. However, my ganolo has only seen tarmac about three times and I've got a custom build Path Racer in the pipeline so can't think about acquiring another wall hanging beauty!!

An obligatory GLWS from me.

Bat. Shit. Crazy.

Bat. Shit. Crazy.

Right up your Straße then.

Dibs - PM on way.
Looks like I'll have to sell something to make space:)

Simon, you were on my list of candidates for this. I'll be waiting to see how you build this up.

Sold to Si....

Hi Ken,
You have mystic powers.

Nice!! Even though I always think that L+-Pro should be 650 at the front that does look splendid. And, I see there are some proper components on there with the Record crankset.

Take a look at my path racer thread. I'll be adding a few more pics now I've got it and have had time to mock it up so I can see what it will look like.

Yes I like a true lo pro -but this was made like that and prob the best riding bike I've had -just love the 753R .
Your path racer looks great - very distinctive with the double seat stays and top lug fillet brazed like the CB bilaminate jobies.
are you painting it yourself?

Paint is next to be sorted out. Will probably go to Colourtech rather than Mario vaz is things could be tricky. Basic colour scheme will be blue and white but seat stays, brake bridge, head badge and lugs will take lots of detailed work so I don't see it being cheap.

Shouldn't be too costly I would hope. Sounds like should be very classy when done .

Frame arrived today -Quickly despatched and well packed - Thanks Lori - I'm delighted.

Well fitting wheels and I'm sure edScoble will approve the rear tyre pressure.

Massively jelly, looks incredible

Looking forward to seeing this progress... start a current projects!
