the first think which cross my mind was david beckham riding vanilla with his initials on the rear dropouts :{) i don't know why ...

Interesting... I hadn't noticed the hub on the Vanilla until now.

Drilled Phil it looks like?

Those are nice looking bikes.

Oh... haha, I was just looking at that site earlier today but I didn't make the connection.

But as long as you've brought it up, does anyone know who built that frame for PW?

Yowsers!

(Apart from the decals.)

Tight like a tiger.

I posted it last week and no-one sniffed it, I fucking love Yamaguchi frames.

neeeeeh, this one is a little bit to exhibitionist for me ...

That Yamaguchi is not my cup of tea.

built for a purpose though.. How long before someone with too much money buys that frame and sticks a spok on it?

I wonder how much that Yamaguchi frame cost?

The owner has been reduced to eating nuts from a water cooler.. credit crunched

look like a lady TT bike!

or a moped

look like a lady TT bike!

Tell that to Graham Obree

the basic Yamaguchi Messenger frame in 1700$... which it's almost at the limit of impossible :)) ... ah, and 500$ as deposit...

all the respect for the custom made frames but... it's a little bit to much for my purposes.

3300$ :))))))) c'mon... my BMW F650GS GD was £3000

I don't wanna be rude but I'm keep asking my self, why anyone will spend so much money on a bike, excepting the PRO teams ?

A hobby is a hobby, i guess,
i mean if people have excess money or want to enjoy themselves, they'll spend however much they want on whatever they want.
If you have to spend a bit more to be happy (stupid philosophy)then you can if you want.

Is that animated gif the little guy from the TISM video?

Rosmal makes a good point... I can't really imagine spending the kind of money it would take to get a Yamaguchi messenger nevermind one of the more extravagant frames but I probably could save the money without too much trouble.

And hey, they're giving us something to look at!!!

More importantly they're keeping people like Yamaguchi in business. I shudder to think what this recession will do to the (admittedly bloated) framebuilding world.

post confente frames if you find any pics please
