  No, wait that's something else.
  
  

Loads of British bikes were made with the intention of running HP tyres (clinchers) for everyday use and tubs for competition. People would cycle to time trials with their best wheels held above the front wheel by little brackets held together with a toe clip.
This isn't particularly ancient history

Maybe a mountain bike would be more appropriate than a fixie skidder machine?

There is nothing more fun that fixxie skidding in the snow! And we do have summer here :)

probably a re-post, but damn! Go bubblan :)

Room for improvement, a seatpost, a headset, .... a zipp, hed 650....

7hrs ago...right, back to Speedbicycles...

Anyone ever heard of a limited edition version of the San Marco Rolls with gold plated rails?

Never heard of it, gold?! you're out of your fucking mind...

I know thats what I thought- but picking one up off an old lad in Suffolk next week- apparently 70's limited edition with gold plated rails and I'm talking real gold!

Anyone ever heard of a limited edition version of the San Marco Rolls with gold plated rails?

here's some info, talks about gold plated logo but not blinging rails.

Ok, well- think its this one. Not 'gold' rails- brass- but im pretty sure he thinks it has some gold plating on it. Its on my new flying gate...

I think this is a rather lovely build if I say so myself... another forumunger's:

Good call.

max might like that

Still cant get over the forks on the cannondale track, really dont seem in keeping with the rest of the bike.

yup, they have always used a tange steel fork for that frame
probably to soften the front end, an alu one would make it as stiff as a very stiff thing.

Non-matching wheels, no grips/tape, if the position is right it needs a zero offset seat post, stupid skinny fork. Not porn.

porn for me, the frame makes up for the rest

The frame has its fans, but that isn't the best build on a Cracknfail even if you like the frame.

fux sake stop posting fat blue cannondales, they not porn, even max crowe admitted to me in a private email conversation a few weeks ago as much. said he hates them for being bulgy etc. he even said he reckons he gets too much attention on here, so please show some japanese njs stuff for a change. let's pretend it's 2008!!

squoocher, who die and made you fucking king of the zombies?

In the end of the world, it's just a bike.

Now someone is doing it right by replacing old groupset with proper modern one;
