+1 there are slack chains and there are slack chains, it only needs to be tight enough so that it won't come off and it would need to be way slacker than that.

Too tight = wasted power and premature driveline wear. So put that in your slack pipe and smoke it.
Most people around Lundun ride with their chains too tight. I like to run one bike too tight and one too loose to get the best of both worlds :)

that's just a whole bunch of orange loveliness.

fit that with a Tynan slave sabre and you'd have the Speed Racer of fixed bikes.

probably been posted before, but im new here.

Balls to that! The lower part of the chain is tight, it's under backpedal pressure. It's not that slack.

+1 for everything else though ;)

if that's a man's bike, there's saddle where his balls should be.

i actually know the owner
not sure who he ride it lol

How it should be!
Ghibli disc
Torayca trispoke
bridgey frame

so so nice

that is a khamsin disc rather than ghibli
but who cares, it still looks very nice

Saw this in Cycling +
Can't make my mind up on it? Would like a play on it though...

Ugly as sin.
Plus, if you played on it you'd most definately break it (that's not a dig at you; they don't call 'em crack'n'fail for nothing!)

easy change to fix too : with magic gear or DIY eccentric hub

Dowwnside- ludicrously expensive + side of 650

Probably a repost, fuct if I care...

Good lord, I want one.

^^it's a nice bike, he just needs to get rid of the braze ons

isn't it an old marin mtb, been stripped and clear coated????

apparently not:

This is a New Zealand titanium Allen Speedframe which is a unique TT design that won the world champs in '96, till the controlling body outlawed against triangulated top tubes. I love the aggressive geometry which i made more radical by changing front fork and wheel out to a 650C. It is actually very comfortable to ride, i find it rarely necessary to get out of the saddle (since your nearly standing up anyway!). Components of interest are the back wheel which is also a NZ made item called a 'Lollipop' from the early 90's. I found it 2nd hand and unwanted with the ugliest grey vinyl on it under which i could see the holes. It is some sort of carbon/foam construction, the whole thing is completely flat and is 20mm thick. I modified the back hub by machining off the cassette thread and had a local machine shop, for a box of beer, re-machine the thread for a track cog and LH lock ring. Then recovered it in foil vinyl for bit of bling since the carbon was marked and dinged. The bars and stem are a Cinelli integrated unit i found on ebay, stripped the powder coating off and polished up. The front calliper is a way cool DuraAce AX from the late 80's/90's, which is art itself. I have the rear one adorning my desk at work. The cranks are an old banged up set of Campy Chorus i stripped back, drilled some holes in and polished up, i have the matching campy pedals for which i am hunting for some new dust caps (how come nobody sells these??). Being a time trial bike it had absolutely vertical drop outs which left me with no means of chain adjustment so after much scratching of the head and balls i came up with an eccentric adaptor which involved cutting the axle down to 120mm so it finished 5mm inside the frame. The adaptor acts as the rest of the axle but the skewer is offset to 1 side of the axle meaning some useful adjustment is readily available by loosening the skewer and rotating the outer adaptor. Again all of this stuff is done on a little DIY lathe and set of vernier callipers.

The brake is amazing:

@eyebrows....oops, my bad. didnae read it all.....W.A.C
