mitre_tester, do you have to live so relentlessly in the real world?

Some of us don't have hot fruit action to divert us from the mundane

Have a look at a side pull brake. The best cable run in was designed for the front brake lever to be on the left .. having said that I've always riden right and aren't going to change ..

Thats because its cheaper to make them in one style (cable running into the left OR right) and most of the world drives on the right so they do it that way. Even though the Japs also drive on the left (something to do with Samurai's and swords or something).

Interestingly the Samoan government recently (as in today) saw sense

:)

Loving them

I always thought with the british set up, turing across traffic, while negotiating a roundabout or even moving form the left hand side of the lane to the middle to make a right turn, the rider has more control with access to the weaker rear brake.

if you were turning right and had the front brake on the left and needed to stop while indicating, the power would turn your bars and cause a swerve action??

when turning left not so much an issue.... american set up is opposite due to driving on the other side of the road...

i got this idea from the fact most aussies do rear brake bmx set ups cause of this, right hand free at all time for signaling purpose, if ya ran a right hand brake and had to get to the right hand side of the road, be an issue stopping and signaling...

Stupdi question, but...

if you're riding fixed, why are you slowing down with your brake to turn a corner?

Liking that^ looks like a nicer version of the Ridley Noah.

Because brakes make you faster

something from Eurobike. Lovely Lynskey Ti bike

Nice!!

a bit scuffed but very nice i think

Something about the forks on that doesn't sit well with me. They're too thin, make it look that that awful Cannondale track.

9/10 though, lovely bike.

Who removed the Dolan stickers from that track champion frame?

Oh, sorry, it's a Bianchi.

You know what the best thing about the new Super Pista? people will finally stop colour-matching their Bianchi with Celeste/white/gold component.

It looks nothing like a track champion ?

Have you ever seen a track champion frame?

Nothing like it you say. Now where do I recognise that seat tube from (and as the other tubes are round with integrated headset I would say it looks very similar)

Nice. Looks good without the big decals, might DEFO have to strip mine now

The forks lood good painted/tonal too

So, no, you have never seen a track champ frame then.

BB is completely different, Track champion does not have round tubes, it has much thicker stays, top tube tapers, stays are welded to a different location, different track ends etc etc etc

What you are saying is, it has a similar seattube to the track champ, but then the old pista concept did too. So not much has changed there

Great build...

I hate colour tyres and ourys, nevertheless a lovely build, really seems to work.

So we see things differently, everyone does I guess. In profile they look very similar to me. On close inspection (i.e. looking at BB) maybe not but looking at the 2 shots on this page suggests they are not that far off.

On my list of something else I wish I hadn't bothered to mention :-)

I prefer the old one in white personally..
