ebay Item number: 370181723233

i love how wild these bikes look. i dont actually think theyd be that bad to ride on the streets as long as you wernt riding big hills or had a nice lower end gearing. with the right frame geo i dont think it would even be that lo pro. dont see how this is anymore silly than commuting on tubs, putting risers on track bikes or riding brakeless on the street.

Pure fantasy... I don't know what your roads look like but I don't imagine this would be comfortable or all that feasible to ride on the street... with bullhorns coming right off the fork you'd have to figure it wouldn't exactly be forgiving when it comes to lousy road-conditions and would likely handle strangely (not that one couldn't become accustomed to that part).

I'll pass on the amateurish baiting. Hopefully it was a joke.

I simply love this bike;

come to think of it i swear that would be amazing for wheelies?

You really should take a look at this...

No offense meant... but apart from the rims that bike's nothing special. It's just that a photographer was present during the frame build.

I guess all the parts were free/donated to the project? It explains the parts choice.

it was designed for use on boards (no strada) breaking and setting world records. and it does look good in my living room.

Those bars are cool :)

Aren't those Benedict's bikes?

yes they are

....and i feel weird looking at the first pic... turtle head comes to mind....

I simply love this bike;

love the frame but not stunned by the rest

Im surprised the detail police (ed and crane) are most enthused by it; with flacid chain, low seatpost, saddle quite far back (perhaps 5:6), a saddle that doesnt quite suit the track oriantated frame (or the colour if i may add), stickers on rims, low flange hubs, slightly long inner tube valves which incidentally are not aligned, single brown straps, the stem and bars' chroming mismatching, low flange hubs and of course grey sidewalls of tires which are far too large to be used on the track!

tut tut tut boys back to work!

Remove the bulky gel saddle and stick an SLR on there. Yum.

here here!

and move it back a couple cm's! the positioning has thrown off the whole dynamic of the bike. might as well throw the whole bloody thing in the bin!

Looks like its stretching or yawning or that the seat tube is trying to get away from the handlebars -

Small flange hubs, aluminium stem with chromed steel bars and 1-1/4" tyres are all appropriate details for a path bike, I'd have thought. The slack seat angle, set back saddle and minimal saddle to bar drop are also about right for a 1940s look. In those days, leather was brown.

Could be worse, it might have been the Viper

sorry I should have posted this at the end of it. still dont like it :)

And now for something a little different. Hutch Suntour 48h hubs (rear coaster).

Not gonna call anti Ashe, but definitely a "speciality" variant of Gentleman's Relish.

what it is in the rear one, some kinf of adjuster at 11 position?

well the only thing i think doesnt suit the bike is the highly polished bars and white tyres. i would also pull up the seat for looks.

well done aleksi

You're right mate. Who would use a 48h front? Still, it does look Royce-ish, as you would know. The hubs are properly old though.
