Hulsroy's Hustle

klampers, but I am saving those for something special.

A vintage WI 96bcd chainset would be good on this for sure. I would not be abl to afford a newer one...

The ENO ones come up on ebay every now and then and aren't silly expensive.

Yes. I'll have a look

What about my ritchey ones?

They are cute as fåck

Surely it's lack of taste and aesthetic aptitude more than anything.

What model woodman is this? Very into it.

I downt spweak fancy UK any longer so your meaning is lost on me. Say it again but slowly.

@JesperXT can you please give them to @Hulsroy for me please?

This would be a good match for them

You can't account for taste.

Will do

I see. Fanks :)

What’s that for?

No idea. But in terms of styling it is concept bike gone wrong ;)

Sometimes you need to say no to a customer...

Yes. English is not too good at that.
But to be fair a lot of frame builders are craftsmen not designers.

I think he would be surprised not to be described as a designer, as well as a craftsman.

100% case in point

Well I think you’re being a bunch of naysayers. I dont know where the graphics comes from, guessing aviation. But i think its bold and looks so much better than a gazillion air brush-jerk off designs the world has seen. And rando-plain can be quite boring. Im not saying that it would be a great idea to go al out fire truck. Just that I dont think that English is so terrible. But hey, smaken är som baken, delad.

Also, mtb looks great Hulsroy! :-)

That ain't the worst English ive seen.

I guess some of the taking on any challenge has resulted in some really intresting frames though. Particularly like the righty

On one hand I think we should not discuss taste up in here. Nothing good will come from it.

On the other hand, do you really think that is a good looking bike?

The baby blue, brown rubber and red accents clash.
The dropouts interface looks clunky.
And worst of all the soulless 90s photoshoot backdrop makes me sigh.

I agree on debating taste... and agree on that colorscheme and those brakes, but otherwise I really like the engineering challenge of the frame. Even if it is a solution to a problem which did not exist.

Thanks man.

I think it is about details, composition, thoughtful engineering/tectonics, fabrication quality/material choices, price point and timeless understated graphics and obviously the most elegant geometry version of the required fit and intended use.

tectonics

What is the meaning of tectonics here? I haven't seen it used in this context before.
