Hurrrrrrrr.

although this is strictly not bike porn, but it's an adaptor that allowed a geared hubs to be converted as a fixed wheel hubs;
fantastic news bringing us an even larger choice of hubs to be used as fixed, as well as reusing old wheelset without needing to change the hubs. I feel it's good news for those who play polo and usually tend to keep a budget as well as needing a smaller cog to cycle home to.

Sounds good.

I don't understand (yet) what is preventing the adaptor from unscrewing itself from the hub, or said differently, what works as a the usual lockring?

14 Bike Co colour chart...

That green on the right is both 'hella dope' and 'killing it'.

that was the most epic scroll down ever.

Not sure why...but I like.

But I'm not a fan of the colour mix.

^^ black bartape: fixed

that's great, rather it to have the white industries crankset than those ugly paul one (if it's paul).

my gran has a titanium knee and loves it. She doesn't ride bikes either (anymore).

My dad's got a ceramic bearing in his hip and it's about 3 minutes faster over 10 miles than his old one

eebrakes

There's a lot to like about those, but every time I look at them I think of things I'd change to make them even more awesome. I want the best of eebrakes (power, weight, pad holders), Campag Deltas (beauty), Simkins Egg brakes (aerodynamics) and Mavic SSC (feel, leaf springs) all rolled into one

Sorry, but that Yeti is in the wrong thread, even if it had the (ugly) stem lowered and black bartape instead of that 90ties multicolour fake cork.

The attention to detail on the Head Badge(Screw Slots lined up on the Black Machine) is wasted on crappy screws.The heads should have been Anodised Blue or Gold & Countersunk Raised Head style.The tape would have looked better in the colour of the rims,otherwise an interesting bit of transport .Is that a Brookes Swallow copy I see perched on the seat post?.Happy & Safe Riding to You All.

the parts on ANT bikes are almost never expensive. check out his seat post. i've see plastic pedals on his bikes.

as for the headbadge, they have been a point of contention with ANT since the beginning of time.

he's a "like my work or fuck off" kind of guy, so it's not going to change any time soon.

doesn't change the fact that he makes some amazingly tasteful rides.

not one of his bikes isn't porn in my eyes.

It's the little touch like this to a 3 speed coaster hubs I love.

This (abiet repost) 'path racer' is still my favourite of all the ANT bicycle;

I find his bicycle to be porn worthy simply because of how functional they are, one look at it we can tell it work for whoever needed it;

Now, who would love to ride that down the worse road in London as if they were made of flower?

The funny thing is, when I see an ANT... I'm not sure I'm thinking functionality. Or if I do, I guess I don't see much in the way of versatility, which in the ends lends itself to broad functionality.

Anyway, they are pretty, and frickin' expensive!

I wouldn't kick one out of bed, although my wife would likely give the bike and I the old heave-ho.

it's a tank of a bike. I'd love something like that but don't think carrying it up to my 3rd floor flat would be very successful.

Give that yellow ant^^ a disc brake rather than the hub brake and it'd be even better in my eyes. Lovely.

love the colour of that ant.. would love to redo my singular in something similar

Custom stem by Bishop (i think);

niiice, wouldn't mind that stem on my bike
