Bike porn

News just in, the cyclocross season is over until September. You've ages to get your cross bike and colour co-ordinated outfit. :P

But it needs Campagnolo Record crankset. Very tidy job. I've got all the same components on my bike, but they're scratched up to shit.

Is that a dent in the downtube?

Looks like the shadow of the crank arm. Poncey bikes like that don't have dents.

But what's with the compact cranks... ? :)

Chainring PCD is right for that build, although they should be original Stronglight 99, not a clone.

Quote from Bikesnob is spot on, particularly the last bit.

he forgot the opener, which is gold, IMO

As much as I would like to stand around a convention center with a bunch of white people who wear cycling caps even when they're not riding and who get a little too excited about beer, I'm also fine with missing it....

Surprised none of you beltdrive-crazies haven't posted this yet... also from NAHBS

can't beat this guy....

ha!!

If that's yours, you are in the wrong thread.

If it isn't, forgive me.

Nope, not mine, just think it's lovely. Found it on velospace. Needs to lose the rim stickers, and maybe get some deeper rims and it'd be beautiful.

The rims look fine. Do you mean lose the rim stickers?

Rim tape you don't wanna get rid of.

Black saddle and bartape, proper pedals and it would look better. IMO.

is it just me or are the straps going through the pedals in an odd way?

Langster steel?

Yup.

Langster steel?

Yup.

as much as i like tidy colnagos like this...

(sorry not driveside)

despite the feeling that i shouldn't, i'm all about this today...

hardly understated, but i want a go sooo badly.

Langster - Definitely NOT porn IMO!

I thought this was a given.

Want. With a normal angled stem and drops that would look a lot nicer.

Yep, meant stickers. Sorry.

They look way too loose anyway, unless he has clown feet.

indeed, although i was thinking some pursuits.

as much as i'll happily ride risers on the street, if you're taking your 'showy' bike photo, change up for something different. in the same way you don't wear your air max for your wedding photo.

That's it with drops.

Is that the same bike? The wheels fucking suck.

Looks much worse with those wheels and the anti-theft saddle setup looks silly with that frame.
