Bike porn

lugs?

That 'dale's owner must be fucking gorilla, layback setpost, slammed stem that looks to be about 130mm and large reach flat top bars.

There are two things wrong with LH-Front brake cabling, one that it's forrin, and two that it looks ugly on that bike. It actually works better on modern bikes with cables under the tape, because calipers are handed to the more popular forrin method, but it's still wrong.

i think first time i've seen you say something silly - campagnolo brakes were designed to be LH front RH back and this relates not only in the placement of the brake cable entry on the left of the caliper but also commonly the cable routing to the left hand side of the bike frames too - this all aids the cable routing from the levers to the brakes with no tight corners

it looks better this way every time, and for me when i ride my road bike i generally don't ride in traffic so indicating across traffic and having the right hand free isn't an issue. I've always routed the way it was originally intended... keep it old skool. (continuation of my previous fistful of seatpost rant)

accentuated more so with moustache bars

^ 4 different greens on the Chesini- oh no

^^^Looks so right with moustache bars

I'm switching all my bikes to LH front braking as my next polo bike will be front brake only and I'm right handed (the mallet hand). besides, that's how I learned in the first place and cable curves are less sharp so less friction.

That 'dale's owner must be fucking gorilla, layback setpost, slammed stem that looks to be about 130mm and large reach flat top bars.

The layback thomson has no more layback than a regular post I think, so all of the above is normal. No gorilla's needed.

It needs a couple of a brakes and some pedals before it's even a bike, let alone porn.

it's a coaste brake.

it's a coaste brake.

without pedals it isn't
:-)

This is a banger - lairy graphics and all. Actually like the rotor crank / zen ring combo

That saddle though. I wish I could ignore it.

Would look better with a black ring, and yes- the saddle needs to be moved back until it's clamped in the middle of its rails.

I reckon a Zoncolan in black with white script would look good.

That look isn't jarmazing, too visually noisy for me.

I think with the massive "LOOK" on the downtube the wheels actually balance it up a bit.

lugs?

No

Thread needs to be moderated of all this anti.

lush frame and build, but saddle is too high - major schoolboy error ( although it's pretty borderline - it's enough to make it look a waste of a custom fit bike)

Pretty funny that you say that.

You'd think the builder would know his own bike size.

possible toasts..

As much as I hate that BMC I also love it.

Very confused it makes me.
