It has 0-rake and 1:1 gear ration.. like a velo acrobatique bike.
That woulda been some spectacular polo.

yep, what a ride. Actually 1.1 : 1 ratio, no? 22t CR, 20t cog. Same as a lot of trials riders use, I gather.

Interesting to see after Nike dumped the whole Trek joint venture for roadie gear. great idea but foul execution. Roll on something a tad more wearable in real life.

Those shoes are nasty IMO...

and the outfits too.

Oh, and by the way. I believe it's traditionally Scotch Whisky, and Irish *Whiskey*.

I humbly stand corrected. I'm more of a ginn...... gunni........ giuni....... guinis......

............. f### it, gimme another pint of that black stuff!

Oh, and that frame is a track frame with a double down tube. It's pretty stunning.

Howdy All! You mean this?

That is the most rediculously over-engineered chainring I've ever seen. Well done.

Oooh, more pictures.

This one is nice, I love the matching angles on the chain stays and the down tubes. Also love how that Wound Up looks, I hope Robin Mather doesn't object too much if I deny him the fun of making forks.

It's just so clean...

I dont know if it had been shown, as someone just tipped me off to that the bike was on here, but heres the headtube shot.

enjoy!

It's tiny though.

I was going to make it using 24 inch wheels instead of 650c, but had problems finding tires. its a 34c-t with a 41 top tube. She is 7 years old.

mr walker is there a reason why you didn't use the royal flush larger paul crankset? i know there are virtually none around till later in the year, but curious if was just for simplicity?

Ah! It all makes sense now!

P.S. It's nice of you to come on here and talk to us about it.

The cranks are 150's. My daughter cant push a bigger gear and Paul only had the round hole ring in a 46. It worked out ok, i think...

No problem...thats to a frameforum member (franco-phile) he told me about this place this morning. I had no clue...

Glad you all enjoy having me here....thus far. ;)

it's a really lovely bike (the fillet brazing is sooooo clean), but there are too many logos on those wheels...

Your 7yr old rides a brakeless fix? Brave!

not exactly yet...she is getting close. Pulling her training wheels off her first bike today. She will be taking the class at Major Taylor in a few weeks. we'll see how she does.

this has been in my head for the last half hour. but, won't the duel down tube weigh more than a normal down tube ie increased surface area, more paint, more welds??? where's tommy?

I'm fairly sure she's not a weight weenie.

It might, but an ounce or two isnt a big enough deal to worry about. The bike was so small, it doesnt even use double butted tubing. The twin doentubes are only 5/8 of an inch in diameter.
