Totnes pub rafters.

is that seat tube a homage to

is it wrong to like that cannondale ?

To much colour coding.

@gbj_tester I showed her a picture of a bike frame and fork and got my four year old to draw one, she turned this out. I think I’ve solved who Pinarello’s chief designer is.

Much better than some of the options you see on cycle lanes

If it was an homage to P-funk I'd be all over it.

Also much lol @Tadpole she knows her aero stuff

bike companies have spent millions developing composites to deliver a more comfortable ride. But they have been stuck for decades, enslaved to the concept of a triangle...

...when all people really needed was bigger tyres at the right pressure

Isn’t that just a looptail with a fucking big loop?
