Bike porn

is that a bareknuckle frame? looks a lot like mine.

It's a steel Leader with carbon forks.

oh and if you're gonna put a front basket on a bike you really should have wider tyres than 23c.

just sayin'.

Agreed-ish.

whats wrong with flats? i run flats (mallets) on my singular utility fixed gear, with a small ratio and not too many hills it's easy to skid stop, i have a disc brake on mine but only use it when i am feeling lazy...
when i take her offroad i run cleats but otherwise it seems to serve me well - would be even better somewhere other than yorkshire!

Pesonally I don't like having no foot retention on any 'big bike', just a personal thing. Oh and it's a fairly fast looking brakless fixed gear. Needs it despite the rack IMHO.

looks like a leader 722ts judging by the dropouts

with an s805 fork.

if it is then it's only around 225 pounds for frame and fork (+delivery and maybe tax)

Correct.

oh yeah... pornworthy for sure

Oh. Yes.
