tight stuff... :)
this is one of hrrundel's bikes, he has an amzing collection of track bikes and he is or was a russian track racer, so his bikes do see the velodrome, although he does also ride them on the road too. personally i think its gorgeous, maybe its not practical but its not mass produced blah blah blah, i assume who it was built for loved it, i know i would, so stuff the haters - worry about your own bike.

I missed this earlier. But the proper "english" would be as follows;
You're hiliarious, mate.
When stating someone is something with the word "you", as in, "you are funny", the apostrophe is used with "re" after the apostrophe. "You are" becomes "You're".
"Your" is a possessive, as in "Your dog is barking". The dog is mine, so it is "your" in this type of instance.Good comma usage is also key to this sentence. Otherwise, it doesnt have the impact you intended.
btw, I have a Masters degree in sarcasm...
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and presume your MA is in irony, not sarcasm, judging by the errors littering your response.

I guess it's time to get the rulers out to end this fight.
;)
Seriously, can you guys take it outside?I thought the discussion about the toe overlap and design quality of that bike was interesting but the whole "you suck, no YOU suck" thing isn't that interesting...

I've been feeling a Utility build coming on, something like this Kogswell....
Utility Porn! (Non-white goods only)

I don't think that it was suggested toe overlap was the only problem with that frame.
Bikes have to be made as experiments sometimes - that is a *really *tight frame.
looks nice, rides?
That is compact! Looks like an artistic bike. Circus font too. Nice.
Reckon it'd be better with some forks which curve out a bit more.Bad wheels!!!

i know hrrundel, he used to come into my shop in boston on a regular basis. really really nice guy. and some of the prettiest bikes ever.
-
• #3312
I'm sure it's just because I keep reading about Portland and stuff but I want to visit simply because the bike seems to be so big there.
I'm going to get a rack for the Mercian. It can be my cargo bike. It's either that or wait until i've moved out of town and saved some money.

animosity has broken out on these pages...just interested..I am not sure, he just has a way of going on the offensive because I am an American and wear a kilt. I did nothing to him to provoke it, iirc. He's just a hating the Dub.
Other than having fun on the board, I really dont mean anyone harm... i mean, I might take Pistanator to the rail sometime, but I am sure it will be done with a smile...afterall is said and done, I will drink beer with the man...

i think the beef between DW and and Monsieur Pistinator broke out when the former dissed the latter's Hip Hop Slave Bike... then the latter dissed the former's 'efforts' (referring to his hand-built frames). Not sure how I know this mind...

OH, was that the one that looked like Madonna's leg warmers in the early 80s?
Pffft. I didnt think it was a reason to go after my heritage...DW

I love all of you. But that's because I've never met any of you ;)
Now can we get back to the real business in hand and the name of this thread......so, is it 1,2,3 or 2,1,3 and if 3 is really better then we need photographic evidence!

DW believe me I wasn't being serious at all here, just thought it would be so very very funny to point it out...;p
yeah I remember that leg-warmer comment, wondered if that had started it all off...
not trying to be a UN peacekeeper or nothin' (we know how effective they are most of the time...) but for the record I love Pistanator's recent bike and I love the DW boiled-sweet-lacquer-finish frames that I've seen.. to me both are sumptuous. I love the different schools of aesthetics we get on here and some I would never have thought of independently.
So there.

1 looks like a little piggy. 3 could go either way, in a sarah jessica parker kind of way. 2 however is perfection.
