Bike porn

Completely agree.

go to fncking work

re post

not quite pr0n but something different, i like the piston gear lever

i don't really class a Hetchins as porn, there were far better frames made then. the lugs are just flamboyant overkill.

To my mind, the lugs are a way showing the amount of craftmanship that went into the frame itself.

In the same way the quality modern carbon frames can be judged by the number of different acronyms on the frame ;)

whatever. They is purdy.

You sure?

@superprecise very nice colour. that the same colour as your new bicycle isnt it? for the first time in a long time i like the short mudguards that dont really do much.

Nah, that's the colour I would have liked. Mine's a bit... well... green.

Prefer yours
The Hetchens is a bit 'toothpaste'.

I like this, as a trick frame seems perfect

I'm gonna go out on a limb and agree with you there.

What frameset is that?

I think it's an updated/tweaked version of this, could be wrong though.

there you go

Cheers Moog.

For a long time, humans have been building frames designed for much tougher conditions without needing to glue a cheese grater to the front triangle. If that is porn, then i'm high fashion. Plus, it's a fucking Leader. Leaders are... ah fuck it.

It's a trick bike, seems to be fair to its purpose (IMO).

Who made better frames back then?

Hobbs made some very nice stuff, but I'm trying to think of anyone of that era who made better...

Flamboyant overkill!!! Pistols at dawn Sir!

bless you arantrek.
but a guy who poses a bike like that in a laundry, doesn't deserve such a bike.

hmmmmm, great idea.
looks for old handlebars

pressie for the father-in-law

@jaygee thanks for that. i was thinking about you earlier when i was dreaming about the blue roberts in the for sale thread.

who else? these have a cult following but are not as widely known.
