Bike porn

^^^ those grips on that bike is exactly what im searching for at the moment for my build, sexy things. Expensive, and only in US

Grips like those are expensive?

I find it a little surprising I guess, although I suppose they only look common because they used to appear on tons of 60-70s cheap American kids bikes.

(T_M's gonna hate this)

That's why Strida's are good, they're cheap, they work, and aren't horrible to ride (just pretty slow). The early ones with drum brake of course are shit.

I've ridden the drum brake one and yes it was shit. God they're ugly though.

Can buy them on Chainreaction, if thats your thing.

@jersey - It's a paul flatbed front rack

surly 58 cm cross check frame (decals removed)
deep v wheelset to coaster brake (into it!)
nitto b-617 promenade bars
selle san marco regal ti saddle (in white lorica... vegan!)
mks touring pedals
civia aluminum fenders (which match the frame really well)
stem/seatpost/crankset are kinda no namers.

I have terrible taste ... so I really like that.

Ha, it's brilliant. Would look great on a stickered up rat bike.

this is just pure heaven...

...and the lord baby jesus agreed.

I believe this to be a repost, but there it is.

The owner calls it "Super Vigorelli".

Has Bob Jackson at some point made a frame by that name, or is it just a normal Vigorelli? Mercian, I think, does make Super Vigorellis.

And while I'm at it, does anyone know the geometry of the BJ frame? I tried Google, but came up empty. I need to have a Vigorelli at some point. Might have to jump at it soonish as I doubt cheap guineas are plentiful in the future...

i was thinking of saying hallelujah before i even read your post properly.

that is heavenly

I wouldn't say 'Precise's Colnago is the most beautiful bike in the world, but it's certainly in the top one.

Looks like a tart's boudoir. Not quite as bad as either some of Lance's custom Treks or later Colnago paint job atrocities, but still much too much going on.

i'd say every single detail is pretty close to perfect
