yeah the guys who do the "light blue" frames have a shop here in Cambridge - where they do all their stuff. They do some pretty snazzu stuff, all in "cambridge blue"
They've been around forever. They have some sort speed record braking bike from 1910s set up in the shop that the guy who owns it inherited from his grandfather or something - the chainring on that has something like 110 teeth. Worth coming to visit their shop.

nuno.
but i don't really give a fuck about aesthetics anymore.
this year is all about anesthetics.go on nuno- argue about how they're the 'perfect example of form blending seamlessly with function'
or how the build quality is exemplary of the japanese artisan craftsmen
or other such shit.
its a fucking bike, ride the fuck out of it. then it deserves to be in Bike Porn.
Like SP's post of the IF bike back a few pagesin case this is taken too seriously, I'm not attacking you nuno, just a bit bored.
sorry- this thread was open in my browser.and you are of course entitled to your own opinion, which is valid and your own so who cares.

i might put this thread on ignore.
it would save me the embarrassment of when my gf last used the computer:
"Henry have you been looking at porn?!?!.... Oh its bikes. You fucking weirdo"
actually she might have said loser.
a lot. I didn't care, I was drunk. -

TBF I did not argue at all, only questioned the 'fun' of riding that bike.
I guess our concept of fun is different, which is fine...
The NJS bit comes out of your head not mine ; )oh, and please, sort your shit out, it's anaesthetics.
