i too am scared of the repost vigilantes. Too afeared in fact to risk posting this picture i've stumbled upon of a rare one-off collaboration between Yoshiaki Nagasawa and Yoshi Kono that was unearthed recently in a basement flat collection in new york, which according to the New York Times resembled 'bicycle heaven'. There is no downtube, fork crown or bottom bracket, instead a lugged, one-piece component serves all three functions. it is truly breath-taking, "a symphony of steel and love" in the words of Lance Armstrong ... but could it be a repost? I daredn't risk posting it in case it is.

Be brave and stand tall. If it is a repost then so be it. The worst that could happen is that we'll tell you that it's a repost.

It's like tearing off a plaster - once done you wonder what all the fuss was about, now get on with it soldier.
