Just saw this... people and their taste...


One orange and one white crank arm. Superb.

If they built it recently I'd agree. If it's and oldie from four/five years ago I'd say it was a great build for the time - tastes change. Fixed gear builds were more fun and flashy a while back.

One orange and one white crank arm. Superb.

Two white cranks, the other crank is hiding behind the chainstay, if you look closely you can still see it.

Horrible.

I will like to know how heavy it is? as it does look HEAVY, (frech oak)

I think my favourite bit is the sharp angles on the inside of where the stays would be on a conventional bike, creating stress hotspots just where you don't want them. Either that or the integral snow-plough.

been trying to imagine drop levers on bullhorn bars... why i found it difficult

(larger version)

You know I love Conder (as you can see on my avatar) and my Potenza is a soldier. But their Paris frame (similar, though less expensive than this one) is another useless showpony. I'd love one because it's beautiful. I want to ride it and use it every day and wear bits of the paint off and have to change worn out parts. But when I enquired about it they said it's an 'every once and a while frame, to take out on a sunny day and so maybe have a look at a fratello' Which by the way is classy looking but mostly sort of ugly.

What the fuck is the fucking point of making bikes that your not supposed to really ride? It's the arrogant, elitist side of craftmanship. Of course we need styling in addition to function, however I quoteth the timeless classic Bad Boys:

Yes excatly.. I have a one off Paris, that took them (well dave yates and it could be better) two years to build... gets used everyday and gets left out in the bike shed all day.

What's wrong with this one?

What's wrong with this one?

You tell me))

What's wrong with this one?

Saddle angle, non-drop horns, cross lever, pedals and funky lacing? I'm assuming that's not a crack in the fork...

None of the above hugely anti, but things that put me off it.

+1 not hugely anti, but fugly

Agree with pedals horns( i'm after nitto rb 001, don't have funds now), lacing.
Whats wrong with saddle angle and lever?

saddle angle is pointed downward - a clue that your saddle is too high/poor fit.

lowered it a bit, and then either levelled it out, or tilted slightly up.

kids, the lacing is fine, its the angle.
