Alfine cranks on a hideous monstrosity - price on application
No saddle pitch angle adjustment - priceless

One frame size for riders between 165 and 195 cm tall

Y a des coups de pied au cul qui se perdent...

"....we'll make the frame all curvaceous and elegant, try and keep in nice and minimal....oh fuck it, just stick a short-dumpy quill-type stem on it and some risers, that'll do for the front end.

the mudguard and rack have slipped round

I'm so into this. Though ape-hangers would have been preferable to the super-stem.

Something tells me this wouldn't meet the frame stiffness requirement Gates says is required to run a belt...

this wouldn't meet the frame stiffness requirement

There looks to be more than enough room in the chainstay envelope to include enough carbon fibre to exceed the test requirements.

Guess one of us is going to have to buy one to verify.

Nah, hold fire until it appears on the approved list LOL

Is that an uncut fork steerer-mounted bell? Nice hack.

Ah, the Marvelc, a sophisticated Pengy for the new decade.

Good lord

Change the wheels, cranks and cockpit and

its just another fucking red colnago

No brakes on either of the last two, no foot retention on the first. A Darwinian Chelsea tractor will inevitably cure both of existence.

This looks like something I would build.

Just helping @fredtc out as he accidentally posted this in the wrong thread

I'm not really seeing anti. The execution seems reasonable, and the style succeeds on its own terms. I wouldn't ride it, but if that's anti then let me introduce you to the whole custom genre, you'll have a field day.

You've obviously been itching to use that 😀

You know the difference between mere custom and absolute NAHBS-wank, and it's pretty clear where that abomination lies.
