Goodbye gravel bike, hello recumbent

Just bought this. Can't wait for it to arrive at my doorstep.

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving. Pages and pages of bonkers bikes and wheels. I'd say you have a problem/addiction, but I wouldn't want you to stop!

Is that the one that someone else on the forum had?

+1 hard agree

A worthy successor to your old faithful homage project!

One could argue it is in fact the predecessor.

@Breso

My wife does want me to stop...

Oh boy. Amazing

for everyone else's reference

Is that geo for the Obree riding position then?
Tip of saddle to stem looks very short.

haha thats funny!

I just can't get enough of all these clown bikes stunning new avenues in velocipedal technology from the future.

Don't think I posted my tandem in the thread yet. It replaced a very functional ableit rather boring Koga touring tandem. I have a SRAM Apex groupset to go on this. Just need to find the time to fit it. Also need to figure out how the disc brakes work.

Lol this thread gets better and better, please never stop

Double post

That's intended forum behaviour when posting tandems.

‘Kinell!! Just gets better.

Are those ancient Hope hydros?

Formula hydros, but indeed ancient. Cable actuated somehow. With mathing Formula carbon hubs and 4 bolt rotors.

Can we have pics of these please?

I have a fetish for halcyon experiments in bicycle discs.

Here are some close ups from the auction listing.

Here is a picture of the disc brake actuator on the Bianchi. Looks identical, the only difference being it is fitted directly to the caliper.

Love it all, specially the massive, motocross-esque swept area of these early discs, and the funky cranks with "Mr. B" written on the chainrings.

The frame & fork tabs and positioning for the calipers are very elegant.

Looks like hotlinking isnt allowed for those images, you'll need to rehost them
