  • the red hankie on the top-tube. is that some sort of fixie gay code?

    Its so if the handlebar spins it wont chip the paint or dent the tube.

  • actually the question itself probably says more about me than this guy, anyway, i have yoga class on wednesdays

    i'm such a noob i didn't know that - that's thinking outside the box

    Surely it's thinking ridiculously inside the box, in fact not thinking at all. It's a cheap/hipster/stylish solution to a very common problem that occurs on bikes with drops and no brakes. I doubt very much that those bars will even touch the top tube.

  • aggressive angled stems also cause problems.

  • Those bars don't look like they would hit the tube so maybe a case of form over function?

    only if the knot is on the right

  • Maybe not?

  • And don't forget the Pope's custom Colnago - gold of course.

    I run the same rims as the pope. Classy.

  • I just need a bottle of holy water on my downtube.

    The pope never rode that bike. Look at the size of it.

  • Sorry, wrong bike.

  • It looks to be the right size.

    Robe overlap? Don't get me started on George...

    Sick rimz...

  • Who on hear belongs to this then?

    Great looking frame, but you must shit yourself every time you see a pothole/draincover/curb?

  • hehe, that belongs to vinylvillian

    Nah its not too bad at all, but potholes dont mix with it, and the disc is a lot tougher than it looks - no bunnyhoping though! . . now i am used to it, the ride is fine, and the steel has a lovely ride to it

    TBH my old Lavoro with Deep V rear and Aerospoke front was far worse in the wind , haven't really noticed it yet on the Aende - not that i know anything about these things but i think the front Zipp makes a big differance to the airflow, and smooths things out quite a bit.

    Think i am going to invest in a matching Zipp deep carbon rim for the rear though, and have since removed all the decals on the frame and wheel, as per Murtles recomendation (though i did catalog them for when i eventually have the cash to restore it), and got my trusty Time Atacs on it too.

  • ok i like nice and simple... lovely... slack chain!
