WANT! but i'd never use it.. its wrong of me too

the majority of bikes in this thread are so so so wrong

Wrong like finding one of your cousins attractive... wrong, but so right.

Thank god she lives in SA.

^I finally understand this name changing thing

Spotted a mate in the station earlier with his new build, not quite finished... (stem needs cutting and bars need taping...)

Crap photo is my fault, poor light think I had the shakes after a strong coffee...

^^ following this chap on instagram. build is impressive!

what, kano?

TM yeah man!

It's funny, the idea started off as converting a road frame on a budget... think he got a bit carried away.

The curse of slavery.

what is the rear rim on that black lo pro with hed 3?

Just love risers with the grips butted right up to a Thomson stem.

I know someone posted a pic of something similar to this the other day but for me It's gotta be a four bolt with 25.4 bars. Wish I'd had this setup when I owned this bike.

Tidy!

Its so easy to do. Next month H&Son and deep section crabon on Goldtecs...

So what is the right bike for a Brooks? Can they even go on anything that will go fast?

That's a good point. No, they can not. I hate them on virtually any bike.

For me they suit a vintage British bike, like a Hetchins, a Bob Jackson, Mercian etc... or a high mileage tourer. Otherwise...

I'm working* on a "period correct"(ish) 1930's road bike at the mo and have come to the conclusion that Brooks (or wrights) is my only option.

• "Working" is too strong a word - thinking is more accurate
  

^^^ Have to agree. Unless its a ladies sit up and beg with basket, or older bikes being period renovated. But I'm unlikely to ever own either, so no.

edit: Damn you guys for getting there first! :P

Back to business?

(or shall we continue sharing our vital statistics?)

...finally getting the attention it deserved.

put white-taped bullhorns on it & I think you'd have universal approval - everything else looks pretty period correct - It even looks like a vittoria corsa tub on the back!

did that too...

ronik, have you a drive side of it with the pursuit bars?

if i do, i can't find it. i've been looking after i saw your comment about posting it in the porn thread.

Mansfield used to make some nice leather saddles too.

My last name's Wright and my missus last name's Mansfield funny coincidence eh?

(waits for cool story bro meme)

^Cheers for the tip - They look pretty good with the integrated saddlebag loops I'll keep my eyes open for one.


(Never thought i'd hear myself perving saddlebag loops - not for a carridice of course, purely for hanging the clement tubs from)

WANT! but i'd never use it.. its wrong of me too

haha cheers man, I wish I could keep but needs to go to fund the next project!
