Bike porn

I don't like the stem setup either (what was I thinking)

But the frame is sexy (F&R drilling . . . why?) and I LOVE those Campag Pista wheels, soooo sexy!

Something I made up hope you guys enjoy!!

Readers' wives alert!

It's considered bad form to post your own bikes in Porn. Put it in Current Projects or Names & Faces.

Nice bike but would need to be better photography to qualify as Porn IMHO.

I wonder if it is a reasonable idea for a seperate topic for you to post your work? it would be easier to follow your work methinks.

It is beautiful, but where is the tube below the downtube leading?

Ed makes a good point also.

EDIT:
2 chains, going in different directions??

It's a tamden dear boy!

I've seen a bike very similar to that outside Fujiyama in Brixton before...

I wonder if it is a reasonable idea for the moderator to ban Walkersan for persistent spamming.

Anybody who has been on this forum for more than about a week knows that posting your own builds in porn is bad manners, and the current projects thread already exists for such posts. Since this is so frequently pointed out to noobs, I can only conclude that long-established forumenger Walkersan is a total dickhead.

Cheers Ed.

+1. Don, why are you determined to present yourself as a complete tool? Stop blowing your own bagpipe already! I presume I'll get some kind of jockish* response but seriously, sort it out.

*in the American sense, not the Scottish ;)

P.S. lovely brazing and paint by the way.

A brake cable is far easier to find in some backwood town than the correct type of hydraulic fluid and a bleed kit...and personally i'd rather change a brake cable in the middle of nowhere than bleed brakes

It's a fair point, but one might equally point out that brake cables are much more likely to fail that hydraulic hoses, so it makes sense to balance MTBF and cost of failure. Your frame will probably break before your hoses fail.

repped for use of 'dear boy'!

Because they make perfect sense on a bike designed to be used for travelling distance/touring etc.

As for flat bars, why wouldn't they? Not everybody wants their bars to be higher thanks to riser bars...not everybody wants drops...so flat's are ideal in those circumstances.

I guess here was meant: why mechanical disc brakes on a bike with flat bars, THUS NOT WITH DROP BARS.
With drop bars there is almost no option for hydraulic disc brakes. Not that disc brakes are a good option there, but that's a different story...
But I agree. Mechanical disc brakes (almost all of them) are rubbish. There are enough affordable, well functioning, maintenance free hydraulic disc brakes for flat or riser bars.

are we expected to finish seeing the jigsaw puzzle by the end of the year?

There are loads of junctures on a tandem... that could get very boring.
