Bike porn

Stem doesn't suit it, saddle looks tatty, as do the cranks, and needs a shorter, aero seatpost (IMO). Oh, and the bars look shite. Beautiful frame though ! :) Could be so much better...

Are you mentally ill?

a Point of Order

I invited Delta to answer the claims and counterclaims Post 28831
which commenced at Post 28784 and following.

as it happened it was about Delta's bike, and it was all happening without his knowledge.
So Joe Smith, you have made an unfortunate slur on the good reputation of Mr Delta.
I would suggest a humble apology to Delta is in order!

I don't know about you but I found Joe's post pretty funny!

Are you mentally ill?

I just find those stems a bit too cluttered
I think the bars only looked strange because of the stem, and that with what I would consider a normal looking threaded stem (i.e Nitto Technomic) they would look god.
Saddle's fine really, it just reminded me of those awful ones you get on Halfords bikes, with all the padding (don't ask me why). And the seatpost is fine, I was just being picky.
I still think that stem ruins it though, whatever you all say, even if it is period correct !

It would look great with black risers and a spok, too

I agree with Mr. Ballbag™ on the polished cranks though, fluted Record Pista cranks look better with the original silver ano IMO.
But I strongly disagree with every other point.

Think it depends on the bike. Polished looks right on this bike. Just like everything else on it!

I like this bike too. Anyone know where i can get this frame.

Foffa bikes. You're welcome.

That is stunning. Want.

Yeah, most people already had the feeling that this bike is a bit odd.
Now we know why.
Too big for Maxcrowe.

Not a fucken chance.

Not a fucken chance.

Seems to be a 61" ...

seeing all these gazelles makes me sad from the white gazelle up for sale i found out about last week.
It was €250 , some grandps not knowing what he was selling.
Alas I was to late.

Did someone here get it?
(Though a stupid question to ask since it was on sale in Antwerp, Belgium - www.afgss.com doesnt exist so..)

I can't get my head round the fact he did a 9.5 round the Velodrome and my best is 19

Round which velodrome?

Round which velodrome?

Ah, 9.8 not 9.5, and 200m not a full lap. The timing and use of "round" implying a full lap made me think he might have cruised round Calshot, where a 9.5 flying lap is decent without being spectacular (I've done <11s). 19s for a flying 200 is really ponderous, just 23mph.

To be fair mine was the full lap and only last week on my first taster session.

i think that gazelle is my fav bike of all time ever...

Me too!

Just under 30mph, which isn't bad and I'm sure you'll break 30 next time. But yes, woefully inadequate when <13s (44mph) has been done in team sprint competitions.

Me too!

and it just happen to be green?

obligately smiley inserted here.

And I think half my age at 50 I have just started to get my cred next session Sunday.

tempted to swing my dick in the wind, but judgement has the better of me.

Me too!

are we talking the black one? or the green one?

The black one is wayyyy up on my list. Green is more porn though.
