Let's do a GT' like bikes contest!! Mine (haven't got a better pic.. it's so dirty atm..);

does look lovely. i'm surprised that no one has yet hated on the QR (doesnt bother me btw).

I'm not a fan, but it's ok because it matches the rear wheel and is supposed to have it.

I'm profoundly deaf, I have no balance (you need your ears for balance), I have a fucked up left eyes, an ingrowing bones on my right kneescap that cripple my pedalling sometime.

it's awesome I ride a bicycle in the first place!

oh it's no problem, just born that way, one of life's imperfection really.

I bet you have the eyesight of a hawk, though.

Whenever someone has a particular disability, be it deafness or blindness, there is always someone who asks if they have really good sight (deaf person) or really good hearing (blind person).

Neither of which have ever been scientifically true :)

Also

I'm blind as a bat mate, my left eyes have a kaleidoscope effect and the blurring of that photos does not do justice!

that is superb. well done sir

did you think to put a black crankset?just a suggestion...

Not scientifically true, but often observed (i.e Ray Charles). The lack of one sense makes the person rely much more on another one (Hearing for a deaf person, and vice versa), hence improving it.
*I think

reliance, yes, but defintely not 'enhanced'.

Carbon DH bike.

This is one of the best bike I have ever ridden.
I have one in pieces sitting in my garage. Waitin for a rebuild.

Yeah WHATEVER.

But surely if you're using one less sense then the others do become enhanced as part of your brain is freed up. I'm not a doctor so I could be/probably chatting a whole load of shite.

That's the supposed theory, as it sounds like it would make sense.

And you ride brakeless. Someone got out on the stupid side of bed.

ha!

No.

cover your eyes, and you'll automatically end up being very careful, point being, it just mean you concentrate on using your remanding sense, and that give the impression of an 'enhanced' sense.

As for me, I don't have enhanced eyesight or anything, when riding a bicycle, I just look back more often than you do, observed the traffic junction a lots for example; will the car slow down when the light change to amber? will peds step out? how many peds there is? how many cars? are they're disgruntled? how many of them are impatient? is there's any obstruction on the road? is that car going to turn left? any emergency vehicles going to turn up? is the road surface fine? i.e. no potholes or drain cover? is the cyclist in front of me going to jump a red light? is the cyclists behind me is going too fast? will there be parked car in front of me? is that drivers on the telephone? etc.

You'd be surprise how much you use your ears when you ride your bike.

Gary Lineker uses his to steer.

That's why I find it impossible to ride whilst listening to music.

Oh god, don't start that one up ...

Have searched under origin 8, classic sport and Black Jack but nadda.
Also phoned Mosquito and they don't do them separately.

Google search brings up some fairly average stuff from Origin 8.

Want.

Sorry to be an ass, but if you really want that crank, get some Campagnolo NR Strada or Pista, Sugino Super Mighty, or one of the many other cranks that copied that pattern back in the seventies.

Why is a 30 year old copy better than a new one. Do you tell people that want a MSK Sylvan to get a vintage Campa Record Pedal as well?

Because they're easier to get and it's still look good (and cheaper).

Well, right now the old ones are easier to get. Because no one really sells that new one yet. But a couple of months from now it will be much easier to obtain a new one. As for the price, if my assumption that they are made by Andel is correct i would guess that someone will offer them for much lower prices than any vintage track crank in good condition can be had. Prices for vintage track stuff are retarde now a days. I wish i would have invested all my money in old track bikes a couple of years back.

How does mitre tester not like this? He took the original picture I posted and stuck it in the Anti-porn thread.

The earlier build sucked pretty hard, I think even the GT fanboys have conceded that. As it stands now, it's an Allen-key skewer short of a decent working track iron, although nothing will stop me from hating triple triangles.
