Slack chain.

Paul

Would you say you love to party?

It's been known to be true on occasion.

Slack chain.

And ?
Here's another old beauty from the same site. This one's got gears but the chain isn't as slack.

fork seems a bit anorexic indeed, but is in keeping with rear triangle

the (mavic aren't they?) rims are a w e s o m e anyone know a set for sale?

i think it's a photo, but taken with a really shitty 1950s camera phone.

lawlz!

Maybe MAVIC CXP-25

Standard rim with a carbon aero wedge.

^^weird.

weird indeed :-/

they could be, don't see any spoke nipples

i must admit the spoked wheels do look a damn sight better than the aerospoke and trispoke on

Nicest Gitane I have ever seen. Every component is total awesomness, exspcially the drive train.

The nipples go in from the inside of the rim

Holy shit that's magic.

Technically, this is granny porn you know. :-))

^^weird.

Why weird? There are loads of rims using an aluminium basic rim with a bonded on carbon fairing, from those Mavics (which were based on the CX18 rim) to the latest Shimano carbon laminate wheels

Needs doing properly

The nipples go in from the inside of the rim

hm, how do you tighten them, then? take off the carbon? or only use the screwdriver?

@ mdcc_tester - does the thus improved aero-ness make up for the increase in 'weight'?

that's most likely the nicest bike i've seen in a long long time.
