I would have loved to have seen that on Bricks to Brix.

Should save that pic for the next 'number of spacers' contests.

Sorry about crappy iPhone photos. From a shop window in a fancy boutique in Oslo, Norway
I quite like the bike, but the bars, jees

Is that a Modo store? Theres one here in Aalesund with a nice moss green Bianchi outside (quite possibly the only fixed gear bike, other than my own, in the city). Although they've managed to mount the bars the right way round. Drepresses me a bit, that the fashion industry has cottoned on to fixed gear cycling before the actual cyclists here.

Dear God!

Technically no as its not a conversion

I've got to admit, I kind of like it.
Better bars and it wouldn't be so bad...

I did like it too, just the handlebar need a change, at least the person is clearly riding it as oppose to walking it down brick lane looking smug.

Don't think it's especially bad either

I'm not overly opposed to it either, but the bar stem combo's got to go!

^ that was obviously aimed at the Colnago and not the pink monstrosity

it look kinda like the ugly sister of Paul Smith's bike (the colnago that is);

Quill stem and nicer risers/drops
Matching front wheel
Change the chainring for something more classic

and you've got a lovely bike.

Paul Smith is rocking a Look Ergo-stem, I only just noticed.
Fucking Hipster.

Lunacy. De-sticker the rims and it's fine. Black Brooks too, perhaps, or a Flite, but that is a minor change.

An SE Lager, more sinfulness here.

not a contenter in this thread but a disgrace for its stable...
another child of marketing, i think that they would partying in Tokyo...
Bravo pinarello, next competitor scott's mtbs?

is the pinarello a hover singlespeeder ? eeek!

Compared with the 2010 Colnago Super Singlespeed, that Pina is actually quite nice. Still don't get why they refuse to put proper brake levers on them, surely it's the job of Colnago and Pinarello to teach hipsters the error of their ways, not to slavishly ape their foolishness?

Agreed. But it's just sad to ruin such a nice frame, when you could do something SO much nicer with it

at least the person is clearly riding it as oppose to walking it down brick lane looking smug.
Of course they aren't... C'est un "hipsteur parisien" :P
