Bike porn

it says on the site that they were shooting for something.

yah i know, there is a guy with a camcorder in one of the photos. The question is where and when will the footage be up.

those bars would be good for taking out pedestrians or wing mirrors of cocky drivers that just cut you up haha,

someone fly me there now.

Anyone knows why drive shafts disappeared? I guess weight. BMW still uses them on their bikes, long life, smooth ride, no maintenance.

If you want some eye candy here is plenty:

Enjoy and get inspired...

Looks like a dam.

Expensive, bad handling due to high unsprung weight, need complex linkages to eliminate shaft reaction ("jacking up"), yet another set of seals/gaiters to fail and dump oil on your tyre, lower transmission efficiency than roller chain, all but impossible to alter final drive ratio to suit different race courses, difficult to package for optimum weight distribution and swing arm length, greater width than roller chain final drive compromises cornering clearance and/or footrest placement, choice of second bevel drive in gearbox (bulky, heavy, expensive) or longitudinal crankshaft (difficult to package, engine torque reaction causes roll instead of pitch)

Disagree with quite a bit of that having used them extensively, by choice....but really can't be bothered to argue the case.

I'd like to hear the arguments, but despite knowing the flaws of shaft drive I've done literally hundreds of thousands of miles on Guzzi V50, BMW K75, Honda NTV650s and Kwak GT550s. The question was what was wrong with them, not what was right.

from the site:
"Hydroelectric power station Avce - Fixed gear heaven

We were very lucky to had an opportunity to ride inside the accumulation pool before it fills with water!
Surface is very smooth hydroisolation coating, so perfect for riding.
That complex is reeeeeally huge."

on this page there's a google map of the location:

THAT.IS.SICK.!

Although that huge dam/velodrome would be fun to rinse around on a fixed gear I would also LOVE to take a single speed to the top of a bank and just drop in and bomb the entire thing. I reckon you could hit 70mph, maybe more, and it would be easier to hold your bottle as ther surface looks smooth as fuck and there's nothing to crash into and a huge run out.

when i was a kid i used to play here, you can just make out the 's' shaped crevas.
If you zoom in you can even see the bike trails :)
the map doesnt really show how steep it is !

which is similar to this place below. Was just awesome drilling a low gear down the hills, and even better with a motorbike !

the fun you could have there on a fixed gear bike would pale in comparison to a skateboard

just think how much faster they would go on a proper track bike

Just the wheel remind me of unipack.

My mate Scott (not to be confused with this forum's scott): "55cm track bike. no those aren't deep v rims they are old mavic cxp 30 tubulars powder coated to match the frame. deda tubeset, campy cranks, phil wood bb, deda pista bar and stem, king headset.

I think I see what you mean about the wheels now, I was too busy wanking over the frame
