Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

For me the Schwinn is magic. The color, frame size, filled brazed, lugged and to top in off the bullmoose.

I really like those retro mtb conversions but not when the seat tube is exposed like it really was your old mountainbike. Just find a view sizes bigger and do the conversion like the Schwinn or Rockhopper.

Ha! Cheers for linking my Marin and DB, although they were more fun than functional with no mudguards or any sort of racks. :) Miss that Marin a lot though.

Really shit picture but my V.-2 is here with Deore XT, Thumbshifter and Marathon Mondial

Is this just the same pair of black DA cranks they put on the bikes for the photo?

Maybe they have a stash they're going through, it wouldn't be that unusual.

Built this and now need to throw away all my other bikes

Looks like someone mounted the display cranks.

hell yeah i did. ill report back when they fail. been a few years already.

This is a terrible decision I fully approve of. Rest of the the bike ain't too shabby either.

We need to talk.

@Proper.Application 's defense:

I was merely curious and in no way criticising!

That makes Pengy look tukt! :P

all good! love weird things is all

What was the reason for drilling them? Weight saving? How much did it save?

They're display cranks.

@Proper.Application This is wild and awesome.

If I'm not mistaken, these were the first 2-piece DA crank; they drilled out a window to show off the Hollowtech II design.

Superior carrying capacity or portable bdsm rig ? Somewhat functional, in a way.
