Love the paint on the royal h cycles, but then they go and do this...

That paint-job is gr8

Yeah it looks mental, in a good way.

I like the rear wheels paint job. Not so sure about the frame, and certainly not together in my opinion.

just because the bike as a whole is a tad mental doesn't meant the paint job can't be porn:
just noticed that the forks are wound up ones too, lush

Cheers for showing off my bike Superprecise.
Some of you are right, the chain was too short and snapped. Its been replaced now. It was finished late at night so there were a couple of mistakes.
The Thomson was intended for another bike but never made it. Instead of selling it, it came on this bike, if it doesn't work then I sell it and buy a straight one. There's also a couple of other things I'd immediately change. You try things, they don't work out. Its a work in progress after all.
The steerer is as yet uncut as I'm determining the optimum height before its cut (if indeed it needs it). Touring bike geometry is very different from MTB/Race geometry as there's no need to fuck about through traffic RLJ'ing and pissing off the rest of the road community on your fuck ugly Holdsworth conversion.
Touring bikes are meant for comfortable distance riding. They have a big job of carrying a load of gear many miles without really tiring you out. Without the full load, I think touring bikes look like your mum. And although a FG SS forum isn't where she'll be appreciated, it says thanks to those who defended her.
But pisses bleach directly into the eyes of those who called it ugly.

That shot of the seat stays is amazing.
IPx2 if this your first time seeing that bike search for the video of it moving.

where do i find this video? I thought about what it would look like, then decided there was enough black that once spinning fast enough itd probably be all black and a bit dissapointing...

You can date that bike. It was made before epilepsy

I didn't know epilepsy was only found last year

Malaysian that wheel definitely looks cool on camera, alot of the effects you see must be from the cameras frame rate. I do think in real life it would look awesome still as some parts would appear to be rotating clockwise, some anti clockwise...

No it wouldn't. Your eyes don't have a frame rate, so you just get motion blur. It needs the interference effect between camera frame rate and the rate at which objects with rotational symmetry overlay themselves to generate the illusion of slowed, stopped or reversed rotation.

I think it would. My reason being the rings of patterns have the black parts spaced differently.
Thinking of car rims its easily visible when they go at certain speeds they appear to be rotating counter clockwise. Some parts would have that effect whilst other parts wouldnt

Ever seen a car?

You're eyes do have a 'frame rate' as it were. That's why you can't see fluro strip lights flickering. They do it at such a frequency that your eyes don't notice. As others have mentioned, ever watched a car wheel while it's spinning? Or even a mtb tyre as you prin it in front of you? You will get the same effect as seen on a camera but at a different speed.
Thanks for that, be right back I've just got to go and wash the sick off my coq.
