  • Mate of mine just built this.... He's pretty proud of it, I'm disgusted at what he's managed to do to a great frame.

    this forum is going to the dogs. apart from it being a faekenaego (tm) it's also brakeless and without foot retention.

    The Lemond drop-in bars mounted the wrong way round just add another element of confused mind-buggery to the whole cretinous, ugly and downright befuddled enterprise.

    'Nil point'-even from Estonia....

  • yep that bike is shocking! better picture is needed. THE PEDALS haha

    That's why it's in anti....

  • That's why it's in anti....

    but gone are the days when the first observation to be made of any steed is its abundance of stoppage mechanisms, or lack thereof... ah the halcyon days when the jeans were skinnier, the spoks shinier and the spectacle rims thicker. This faded imitation of that which was once so vital, so fluoro...'Tis but a fleeting shadow of the past.

  • not sure if you can see from this pic but it also has vertical dropouts, there is no chain tension at all. I'll see about a better pic but I don't see him that often, and I wouldn't want people to think I liked it. I told him to give the poor thing brakes and gears but he wont have any of it.

  • belongs in here rather

  • And attempt 2...

    I really want one of these, hadn't seen one before current projects thread today and man, they some nice frame.

  • It wasn't expensive too. 175 euro's.

  • This ^ isn't the one in currents, but another... If anyone see one for sale, maybe around 55-58 top tube, please let me knos..

  • Vagancini though. Name sounds like a product for de-lousing one's foaming axe-wound.

  • ^^^^
    Oh, you poor flouro, rattlecan wielding, cuntox.........

    0 in rep means someone with weak rep tried to rep or nerg you to no effect to your actual rep
    similar to daylightbombings trying to nerge me the other day hehehe

    <<<<<<<<<< = is to nerg oneself.

    they had a load of pics of bikes they apparently built, I did a little hunting and found the bikes were in Italy,Australia,USA. 2 17yr olds I think, they wanted a deposit first and said they could build fixies from 200-800euro

    theres so many chancers over there its not even funny, an old tubular front wheel for 75euro listed as a tubeless fixie track wheel but has a quick release skewer

    I know a couple of lads doing it, one of them has their bikes popping up on here quite often. Throwing together bog standard components in the most horrific colour arrangements and half-arsed assembled and then charging 4-500 euro.

    A couple of the bikes had their bb's spill bearings a day or two after they were sold, dodgy headsets and forks etc. Dublin's full of eejits, mainly because there's no decent stores selling bikes like Fuji Tracks and Plugs etc so people are forced to go used with heaps of shite or upscale.

  • tubeless fixie track wheel but has a quick release skewer

    Yes, and?

    It's a tubeless wheel, which can be used on the track (so long as the commissar/coach is happy with the QR being taped down)

  • tubular ≠ tubeless

  • Yes? And? Doesn't stop it being used on a fixie

  • a wheel that can be used on the track as long as they let you ≠ a track wheel
