Wanted: Lo Pro 'funny bike' frame/bike

Wow, Deus, just noticed that hidden brake on the russell, awesome! Bit of a fail on fixed but i love it!

I agree a little on the Colnago front... I'm looking for sloping tubes also...this Colnago went for about £280 on ebay a few months back...

I found on Ebay Italy this Conti...Full bike less rear wheel but 2 650c fronts plus new tubs all, inclu delivery £190 ....this seems a decent deal ...is it ?

cheers
Neil

Err... no it didn't.....

opps... that figure rang a bell ...so what was it then ?

What is up with the brake? why a brake on the back and not the front?

^^^ i see a lever but no brake?

Under chainstay behind BB

seen, is it worth putting a back brake on? more to the point why put one there?

look harder then.

edit:oh well ssslllooooowwww tttyyyyppppiiinngg

ooooooooooooooh there it is. as i said above, is it worth having a brake on the back/there??

clearances - too - tight

clearances are only too tight if the tyre hits the frame... it's doesn't...

hmmm all bikes since the colnago in this post have to my eyes not really done it for me
shorter too pink
negri looks like it should have an 800c rear
and that paginton doesn't look too elegant to my eyes
and that first picture of the geoff bruce, my word now i see why you shouldn't put risers with lo pro's thats does look a tad ungainly !
lo pro fails
sorry !

The Colnago is the ugliest bike in the thread.. so that's a bit weird :)

anyone got a set of these PMP cranks

sorry !

I don't think it's the risers that look odd, it's the ergostem, though it is a dope looking bit of kit IMHO. It was my attempt at easing the (non-existant) transition from Moulton to lo-pro. From a one foot rise to a two foot drop was too much to ask. As it happens any bars lower than saddle is apparently a no go. Ah well, shopping for others.

if your back don't ache and your arms aren't killing you when you get home it isn't a proper lo pro !!! :-)
get the 2 foot drop back !
