It's a nice bike. But it isn't porn.

Nope, that wishbones ugly. Frames this big just look out of proportion, the headtubes massive! There's actually so much wrong with that build.

big is beautiful

bmxconan, what the fuck are you on about, the bike looks perfect.

A headtube of that size doesn't look weird in the slightest.

And what's wrong with the "build"?

I actually think it's a lovely frame and build. But i don't think its porn worthy. Chain, steerer not cut, i dont particularly like the forks...

he make some of the nicest bike ever, definitely one of those framebuilder who managed to make each one of their bike look unique;

look out of proportion? I can't see anything out of proportion, I rather like it, a straighforward build and design.

what else wrong with the build? wrong component for that era?

here here... so wrong on the sizing. ugly.

here here... so wrong on the sizing. ugly.

WTF? It was a custom build, designed specifically to his size. How is it 'wrong''?

Its not the sizing but the VALVE CAPS!!!

OMG I think he should be shot!

Since when everyone is trying to be me on Halloween? am I that scary?

Ed those are some lovely bikes, esp. the 1st one.

Not sure about the cranks - fugly IMO

the crankset are white industries, a very good crankset.

What a shower of tossers. What's a tall guy meant to do, get a frame that's too small and look like a frog on a matchbox?

Fucking short arse wankers. :p

I'm with you on the forks, I never noticed the steerer but your right. It's just my personal opinion so don't get all wtf but I just think it looks really dull for something that obviously costs a fortune. I'm not into mad anodised bits or powder coated deep v's but a little flash of personality is what that bike needs.

edscoble thats what all the pics you put up have in spades. I love the maglite bracket on the singlespeed with canti's. I made up a similar bracket when I was at high school.

the crankset are white industries, a very good crankset.

good but still fugly.

how perfect is that bike?? here's me thinking that I would prefer to have internal gear until I saw that.

Perfect? Certainly not.
As long as you put it in your livingroom maybe. Not if you want to use it as a commuting bike.
Can't ride it because no pedals
The chain will come off in the front
Street illegal, because no retroflectors/strips/etc to the sides
No lighting
rim brakes that eat your rims and brake blocks and make the bike terribly dirty
Derailleur system that is very maintenance-unfriendly
Rear carrier w/o straps, spring loaded "thing" or bags
So, in the end, it's just a piece of design. Nothing more.
But okay, there is uglier design.

Haha i'm 5'7"

It's not an attack on tall people, it's just a proportion thing. Frames over 62cm st rarely look good to me

Yeah but you're definitely a short arse wanker, Graham. :p
