Bike porn

back to the old school:

loves it!!!!

Too much pr0n on last two pages

cleaning pants

That's an Apple Macbook. The dream is back on!

EDIT: LATENESS FAIL

That's gorgeous. And is it a Rohloff on the back?

beautiful
no Rohloff, there is only brake cables

Yep dogs, white Vredestein Fortezza

To go with the foodie theme started by Slamm.. a Campagnolo corkscrew.

Campagnolo invented that corkscrew mechanism, FACT*

• potentially old news round these parts
  

It's a Huffy! A motherfnarking HUFFY!

ANTI-PORN!

.......... it's a Serotta, what's so anti about that???

Just cos it's a really old fix it doesn't mean it's cool...just like putting a grandad in spray on jeans and vans doesn't make him cool....he may have been a cool youngster...but not now...:)

Shit angles....shit wheelbase...shit saddle.

Old doesn't always mean cool....right murtle? ;)

oh your so defiant. I quite like old rustbuckets, that still ride well :)

(sry i dont have anything witty to say)

.......... it's a Serotta, what's so anti about that???

nope, it's a huffy, made with true temper tubes, and..........a serotta sticker and a wolber one too.
maybe it's a wolber??

You're married?

i'm alright thanks ;)

I beg to differ, Serotta build 7-eleven team bikes........ many of them badged Huffy on the down tube for whatever reason, still a Serotta though.

nice multi and pajamas, it was like top trumps for a minute there! Regarding that yellow harvey nich bike. Looks stoopid, why do people twist their drops so the end are past the headtube? Looks dumb and gets in the way of your knees...when your sprinting...on the track.

i thought that was for the track
may be more to do with bad stem/bar combo
as drops with the flat parallel with the ground seem the norm
and i hate tat style quill stem with potruding hex bolt

That stem on that yellow bike. You might not like it but I think it's a treasure! Early Cinelli Milano stem. That dropbar is Soma Major Taylor (25.4 clamp size) and I see no spacers. It's probably rarer than anything... They're produced with 26.4mm clamp size and some rare productions had 26.0mm. Never seen one with 25.4mm

Rims look like old logo Mavics, probably Montherlies or Argents. They're arguably the lightest tubular rims of the era. It's a guess from that red sticker and rim design. The headset is Stronglight with cylinder bearings, it's light as a feather. I'm pretty sure that San Marco saddle has titanium rails too. It's an old school weightweenie case, but why use steel stem and bars when you have so many superlight parts? For the looks? Change those dull aluminium parts then!

I don't think that bike is used in track, front brakes aren't allowed in velodromes, right?

if that is the case, i appologise.

im not trying to say that bike is used on the track
but when bars are positioned in such a way they are generally used on track but that stem is too short
so would interfere with the knees
i still think them stems are hideous no matter how rare

geared but I couldn't resist.. this is droolsville.

Maybe I don't get it, but those bikes just don't do it for me - it's too ornate, too fancy, with a stupid triple-triangle arrangement and brake cables all over the shop.

No doubt I'll wake up tomorrow to find my house surrounded by people holding torches, but I just don't get the appeal.

Burn him!

Burn the heathen!

i think that hetchins is ugly.

me too. awful.

witches!! burn them, impostors among us!

that hetchins is the shizzle, i mean dude, check out the rear brake pull on it
