MJ is alive..?

Thats is sooooo nice. I <3 Chrome.

I really don't like those lo-pros normally, but that one just kind of looks 'right' for some reason. Not that I'd ride it myself though.

Top effort;

Love it, right down to the bottle & cage.

Probably a repost but...

good lord this is so bautiful it makes my wanna cry and wank at the same time

edit: knowing that I'll look like an utter newbie I still have to ask - what is the leather band around the top tube for?

protection so that the bars dont swing around and scratch/damage the tube

it prevents spunk/tears from damaging the chrome.

Don't be silly.

it's to stop your cock from touching the top tube when you're getting out of the saddle to sprint.

nobody like a cock stuck on the top tube on a cold winter day.

Ridiculous!

It's actually not a band. It's a leather wallet, where this particular gloved gentleman keeps his spunky tears.

Ship spoiled for a hap'orth of tar. Any Pro quality crank (Record, DA, S75) would have added £100 to this £5k build. Miche is not worthy.

Aussies...
And a full bike like on this page, (andel cranks POC), goes for something like £1750.

Probably a repost but...

I'm getting a headache just thinking about lacing them up!

You don't have to use all the holes...

thats what she said.

Yes, it's magic, but the same kind of magic that's been used on shaft drives for cars and motorcycles for a century since the concept was first proven on a bicycle (and a water mill before that)

Here's one without the casing

The drive train is probably the least of it's problems if you're comparing the weight to a modern bike; I'd put money on the all up weight being close to 50lb. Also, it's probably not as smooth as you think, with straight cut gears and quite small pinions you probably feel every tooth as it picks up the drive.

Yes, I guessed that.
