Bike porn

what about 520??

that chart's quite old, check the site

http://www.reynoldscycles.co.uk/steel525.html

520 is 525 made under license

asm but.. by that logic then 531 isn't cromoly, its a manganese molybdenum alloy, or manmoly (?!) have i been lied to all these years?!?

Who said 531 was cromo?

This is my bike. It's a lot dirtier now thanks to the wonderful british weather.

What's with folk posting photos of their own machines in the Bike Porn thread? There has to be some sort of rule against that...

My bike is like the Vanessa Blue of the bike world!

andyp I've just finished building this De Rosa over the weekend.

Looks smart, hows it ride?
Something about those levers looks odd with that frame though.

Nicholas Argh! Too much red! I'd say if it didn't have red rims and tires and a red saddle, I'd love it.

+1.

Love the frame and bars.

depends if they shag it or not on a regular basis, i have my twisted bareknuckle remains next to my bed at all times

that red mercian is quite minging get rid of the chain, chainbolts swap rims for campag atlanta if you need aero profile and sand down those hubs back to silver, as a concession you can keep the rubber

billa depends if they shag it or not on a regular basis, i have my twisted bareknuckle remains next to my bed at all times

you remind me of

stem and bars are the best thing on the Mercian, particularly that stem, lovely. a little too much red for my liking but a nice bike all the same

It's lovely to ride but then the frame always was. I do love the silence of it though, my previous fixed bike always seem to have something squeaking or creaking.

I'm not sure on the bars or levers too - think I might get some bullhorns and try them.

+2. People's own bike porn should be in a new thread called "Readers' Rides".

reminds me of...

wouldn't like to ride that sitting next to hippy, we'll be going round in circles

That's only because you would've fallen off, muppet! :P

it's all a bit unfair - person on left gets to steer AND break

There was a bike here. It was apparantly too horrible to bare. Apologies.

please remove that obscene bohemouth, been posted previously but purposely kept out of this thread!

bling spokes!

Was that the London langster with twin arrrrrRRRRRRRRRRROOSSPOOOOK?

By the way dogs I hear you were very fetchingly clad on thursday! If only I hadn;t crashed on the way to college....

If this site is anything to go by then all Finnish bikes are totally buff. I like the rusty one with wooden grips...

Beautiful!!!
