EC1 Collective

As a hypothetical member of this "collective", how does speccing out someone else's custom bike make me excited?

@amey seems to enjoy doing it in many of the current project threads ;-)

Are radial spoke patterns and a disc brake a good idea?

No

Had my membership request rejected guys, think it's because I'm in EC1M

Post the comments.

That poor bike will have 4cm of headset spacers and an iPhone mount by the time this lot are done I reckon.

I love it in a geeky way (you should see my spreadsheets). And love building them too. If only bike industry paid as much as graphic design eh ..

1 limited edition bike for a whole collective seems stingy

Its all a bit scientology ..

What's the collective noun for EC1Collective riders?

#tooeasy

Would rep

That isn't funny, I saw something similar in MBUK back in the mid 90s.

Tell them to put Deore on it.

I already told them to put Tiagra on it.

Oh that was you!

Nah, needs a singlespeed conversion.

Considering mtb levers "pointing downward"

I hope that was someone off here taking the piss.

I see that wonky helmet each morning. Bloody awful cyclist
He tried to drum up conversation with a lad carrying polo kit once, never seen someone change lanes so quickly

If they're sand-blasting a carbon fibre frame then there's not going to be a lot left...

But it will be super lightweight...

Based on the tone of the guy (David)'s contributions to my local residents' Facebook group, he's more often taking the piss than not. So I hope so.

Well they certainly won't have any problem stopping*; caliper and disc brakes.

*Until the front wheel collapses.

Wouldn't worry about it, they're going to have a chat with Hope and have them devise a new braking system
