You have 2 posts in this thread, and both of them are shit. Go away and have a look inside your soul.

number for teletext subtitles?

zing (that was fast).

paging BRM - another incorrect use of 'zing'.

Do I need to take something to understand this thread?

4-hole extension ("888")

A four-hole extension is also commonly used. The two middle holes are punched in accordance with ISO 838, and so paper punched with the four holes can be filed in binders that are consistent with ISO 838. The two additional holes are located 80 mm above and below these. The use of two additional holes provides more stability. This extension is sometimes referred to as the "888" system, because of the three 8-cm gaps between the holes. Some 2-hole punches have an "888" marking on their paper guide, to assist punching all four holes into A4 paper.

Every time I see an OTP with Miche cranks and wheels, a little part of me dies inside. Are Miche being incredibly aggressive with their OEM pricing, or do BikeCo.s just have no imagination? Oh, and GP4000s on a track bike? Really? What is that expensive and energy sapping Vectran breaker actually doing for a track rider? If you have some perverse nationalistic attachment to putting German tyres on your German OTP, at least get Supersonics.

I had a bit the same feeling.
However, Mr. Arnold was able to get some other parts on his bike, too.
Not that it's much better...
But I expect that within 1 or 2 years there will be a very nice and affordable Canyon track bike on the market.

Both of their builds are a bit weird - even the Dura-Ace model is pictured with a half-link chain, despite the unusually long fork ends.

Is it me or is there a half link chain on that bike? (Why??!)

yes, i think they are good at marketing. it's there for the taking, since the market isn't huge anyway, and shimano/campag aren't really bothered with such small fry, it's a smart move to get all OTP bikes miche'd up.

Must be to get the rear wheel fully pushed in for the photos.

Whats wrong with a bit of photoshop?

Canyon D/A => KMC Pintle Chain

Whats wrong with a bit of photoshop?

Or with just 1 half link?

And wasn't minimal clearance between rear tyre and seat tube soooooo 2009 ???

The similar one at work;

Look quite tatty as it's the owner's everyday bicycle that was brought in for a service.

This threads gone to rat shit - Nuknow save the day please

they do look a bit worrying. but i like the asymmetrical stays and seatpost clamp

This would look so much better with a smoother dropout/track end to frame interface. Maybe even just better looking track ends.

Christ Ed, I hope that's the back of your shop and not the display area. Boxes on the floor, too many boxes on the racks, things half-unpackaged and left about the place!

If I was your manager I would have a fucking fit either way.

Actually, this is our shop windows, it's how we advertised our product like those pound shops.

Probably a pea.

Only the top tube let's it down imo

Terrible design (appearance: colours, shape) IMHO
Far from porn

+1.

16 Look logos on it too. I love the old Looks, but even their standard road designs are less than pretty these days. The above is a TT bike, so pretty much can't fail to be ugly. Even the Mondrian paint job looks pretty gash.
