There's a lot going on there

seconded haha

yeah, I mean screams mudguards.

but the ammount of money spent is astounding - stainless tubing, belt drive, custom bars and stem, paul levers and brakes, brooks grips and (I assume) saddle, white industry pedals. even custom headset top cap.

then those wierd wheel lights, gatorskins and no mudguards. so odd

dosnt even look like the rear dropouts have mudguard eyelets.

Track ends & proper mudguards are a bit of a faffy combo anyway, makes removing the rear wheel in the case of a puncture a pain.

If you run SKS mudguards you can get an extra set of these, that are normally for the front wheel only.

Then you can pop the stays out easily and remove the wheel. Not my idea originally @dom came up with it when he put mudguards on an all-city dropout

Ahh, decent remedy!

They did - on the inside of the seatstays

sensible then, just noticed the flat cap seat stays too

yeah, with polished ends too!

Ha, I made the copper top cap for that, it had matching bar plugs too.

Have we had these...Old blog but some crackers: https://www.litelok.com/blogs/bike-lock-blog/25-super-cool-bike-designs-from-japan

Crikey! I quite like this bonkers David Kronenberg track bike. Would ride (in the impending biomechanical gorepocalypse)

That thing is actually amazing. I would probably want it in a different colour, but... I want it. Imagine cycling to work on it, that'll get you a few looks...

I do wonder whether it feels as noodly as it looks though.
