Bike porn

im still watching this , hope its still on my budget

I reckon Eddy Merckx himself is on your budget after looking at your bikes :D
I'd doubt you'd regret buying the Rossin being so unique.

@toby.d those bikes look damn good!
Hate the brake levers on the built up low pro though :S

rod where are you?!?!?!
hahaha

Ha. I draw the line at googling "yellow dog bollocks"*

*googles "parrot testicles"

Tried 'Tiger's balls' on your behalf, nothing doing.

tigers testicles?

Best pr0n page in months!

tiger's mdcc_testes

If that Rossin had a rear cable hanger, then smallfury's point about getting the wheel in might be right. Plus doesn't the low BB sounds like a TT frame?

The only thing I wonder is the drilling. the rear brake bridge looks like it was designed for a brake, but not the front.

That weird BB looks like the bike's got bollocks.

Here you go you 'orrible lot!

Bars on that holdsworth are not done.

This might be in reference to the unplugged ends, not a hate-on for the style.
Or my eyes are even worse than I feared.

Tubs with risers >>>

repost, posted it myself couple of pages ago :)

good taste tho!

good taste

Really? Budget fork on an expensive frame suggests the build budget ran out at the wrong time.

Nicest piece of polystyrene ever made.

now imagine using Gios boxes to build this

Most weird frame designs of roughly that era, are ways of shortening the wheelbase and/or the chainstays.

Its a guess by me. But the odds are good.

Surely front and rear brakes

It says in the eBay lot that the drilling of the brake and cage holes were done aftermarket, doesn't it??
The bit that looks like a sheared mech hanger is a bit weird mind.

speaking of rossins... this must be a repost, right?

Looks as though he could do with a new seatpost.

It is a track frame which has been crudely modified for riding on the road for the following reasons

• The drilling for the front brake is off centre and higher than it normally would be;
  
• Holes in the down tube indicate an attempt to fit bottle cage bosses;
  
• The crude attempt to allow additional clearance for an inner chainring;
  
• A chopped off rear mech hanger has been welded and sudsequently ground off again, as evidenced by the residue of weld on the lower edge of the drop out.

This sounds spot on. Hanger was def put on then cut off...
The poor frame... only question is whether to try and do a full restore or keep it in it's weird Frankenbike guise...
