Hard core customisation (+ one question)

Does your bike have all sort of fancy bits and bobs that make it unique and personal? That's nothing! have a look at this chap:

Which begs the question, the second incarnation of the bike reminds me of some bike I think I should recognise (but I can't). Any idea about the model?

looks like the tommisini (sp) at jos's (at least now it does)

Whats the fucking point... not at you,

but what a waste of time... IMO I dont get it!

i love it, but If i was of a mind to own a machine like that, I'd just got to a framebuilder..

you gotta admired him, even thought it's a pointless idea, methinks he did that to get the look and track without spending a bit.

it's cheap after all, I be a bit scared to ride it thought.

the guys has skill enough to do that... why not start from the begining?

whats the go with the big crack on the bottom of the seat stay in the last pic. OMG!!!!

+1. All that effort to make it look like one of those spastic GT track frames.

What kind of knob jockey would want one of them?

yeah!

the knob jockey who is pissed off waiting for one to be built :(

it looks like it will follow you and eat your face

spastic

yes you are hombre, yes you are.

Bear in mind he is in Slovenia, I sincerely doubt that any manufacturers of quality (or any) parts that we know and love have expanded their export operations that far.

Boo , your all so negative.. ^_^ Here is the bike he built it after.

clearances are rather big and the curve in the seat tube isn't complementary to the wheel.
That's my only criticism.
Other than that it's top dollar.

Hello!

Now this my first fixie is ready, final costs were about 100euros.
Its runs great and also whitout hands. There were no day that I didnt
drive whit it during the building!

That Green Bilenky was my great inspiration for this build. I just wanted to make all shapes
a bit more wild.

Also brilliant !

YouTube - Forkless bicycle

How much to make me a one bladed fork :)

?

your bikes are superb, and well done for starting a blog for slovenia, they have to start small but i'm sure it will grow

interested in the one sided fork, can you tell us how you did it?

thanks

hmm, not for me thanks.

I've seen the mono fork setup on mountain bikes... how does it work on a road bike, is your wheel held on by just one bolt & does the wheel have lateral flex?

Very nice & personal bike btw!

I need to check in autumn when I get back to Finland if I could make small series of those
forks.

Fork and axle is made out of scratch, exept thread is adopted from old fork.
Hub I use whit it is from wheelchair. Its hard to tell how I made it whitout pics.
Its kind a machining, welding, grinding...
