edit: can anyone tell me why the pictures I post look fine when I post them, but the next time I open the thread, they're just normal links??

if they are over a certain size, they are automatically changed to links after a while.

I think it's possible to resize them.
I like to know how. SOme people have already asked this, but I never saw the answer.
Of course, it's possible to attach thumbnail, but I'm so curious how the pics can be resized...

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...

utter plum

Vintage bikes are shit. There I said it.

ha ha ha.. that means that one day all your bikes are gonna be shit.

I actually used some of these in the 1980s

Use to see quite alot of them back in the good old days.

Mengele?

err!

Most awesome chain ever:
-invisible
-fits 1/2 inch picht
-also fits 10 mm pitch
I need this, i could do without the invisible part though.

Sweet.
I want these kind of bars again. I was stupid to sell my Moscows and the Moser ones don't curve enough.

Blimey edscoble!. ^That's nice & unexpected.

Perhaps we should have a paint job porn thread with extreme close-ups to show the quality.

@Nuknow.Nice frame & colour.

Niche porn

The marino is average; and certainly very pale next to the grandure of the Faini

Makino?. I would'nt mind taking the average instead of the grandure.Personal taste innit.

With a lot of the"porn" bikes you'd be embarassed turning up to a race / track unless you have the goods to propell them up to maximum velocity. Or else everyones just gonna think your some flash dickhead riding a lopro that probably doesn't even fit you right. Heaven forbid actually riding one of these bikes down town past all the local delinquents and pikey's.

That's where the makino comes in - a very restrained build that ticks all the boxes, yet doesn't draw too much attention. You know its shit hot, those in the know know its shit hot.
