Bike porn

that is actually ridiculous. the only way you could ride that is if you had eyes in the back of your head.. and even then everything would look like you were riding upside down!

I love that, all except the colour of the frame

haha, cheers fox, i have ridden that :)

Sorry but that's bollocks.

^^^ (The Crane) Slack paving....... dodgy slab line on the right, ha ha....... bike is spot on tho

The saddle-to-bar drop is less than mine (with hands in drops, were they are most of the time), and I'm a shortarse.

no you don't, allowed me to demostrated;

the rider's set-up on a low pro is pretty similar to riding on the drop, all it usually take to be more comfortable is to use riser instead of bullhorn on the bike and you'll be fine for everyday riding.

Nice work Ed.

I'd imagine theres a good chance this is a repost. Apols if so.
Really like this...

clearly photochopped...

You reckon? It's a bloody good job if it is.

Look at the shadows. They just dont quite fit.

MMMM Lovely....

I just posted in the Spotted thread about seeing something like this yesterday eve. I really like the geometry of bikes like this.

I have to admit, I really like that - hence me umming and ahhhing about bidding on the frame on ebay few months back
Just hope Max finishes it off properly, good luck son! ;-)

ffs its not even finished

You are daft.

Oi! That's my sloppy paving you're talking about! ;)

Well said.

Cheers Pisti, one bit at a time! :)

I can see where you 'borrowed' the brick from to stand it up. I hope you put it back afterwards!

:D! I didn't notice you could see that in the photo hahaha

I turned up to a race last year on my lo-pro and somebody made exactly the same comment about how huge the saddle to bar drop was. I put my bike next to his drop bar machine, and the hand grips of my bullhorns lined up exactly with the hooks of his drops. It's one of the endearing characteristics of the old school lo-pro bikes that they scare the uninitiated.

really? thats porn?
What a mild imagination you must have.

ffs its not even finished

i wouldn't say its far off though.

tbh i like it as it is

any bike that fits properly will ride better than one that doesn't whether it be lo-pro or not.

scoble's photochop doesn't tell the whole story though, as the angles and front wheel size are very different, the handling isn't anything like the same, even if the scale works for the saddle to bar drop, and 90% of the people who set up lo-pros on this forum have a bad fit, just a glance at some of the victims struggling along in town will tell you that.

they look so cool though don't they.

More so if they are sitting perched high on their seat post and knees knocking elbows.

very true, my lo pro is the same size as my everyday whip, but it is too small because of the geometry.

just a heads up im going to be selling it soon if anyones interested
