Bike porn

Well let's just say it's a good studio picture of a beautiful bike, which apart from the hammerite finish is in essence traditional in every aspect though expertly crafted (if you like tig welding; I prefer lugless or lugged soldering, but that's a personal thing).

Actually a pic of an Alberto Masi (not the Californian branch; possibly the tube over lug variety) or Ben Serotta steel frame (early nineties preferably) would be more attractive to me.

Again, that's just personal, but maybe someone could oblige. :-)

stop been so fucking pompous and put a foocking pic of that bikes, you and your halo of secrecy, exclusiveness and snobbery

your words not mine

You see this type of fg/ss in Amsterdam; cheap Asian imports with components to match. I prefer the blokes that take the trouble to convert an old steel frameset (lots of those around here), whatever the esthetics of the outcome.

As usual, after a few years the market turns to cheap imitations of the original fad; there are a few shops here that have them at appr eur 500 apiece.

Too many difficult words for me there, and I'm lazy so I was hoping someone else would go to the trouble of searching the net.

I visited Alberto's workshop in the Vigorelli years ago; impressive workmanlike outfit. One old man and a boy that was sweeping the floor.

You want to hear about Peter Serier?

This is not the time, or the place, Jonge.

And don't get me started on Tommasini :-)

OK, MikeF4Black... Seems there is a mis communication problem here...
As this is the porn thread it is looked down apon anyone who posts their own bike here. As lovely as it might be, it is the readers choice as to whether something is lovely or not.
Think of it as a child. You will always think your child is lovely when everyone else think its ugly as sin. So the un written rule is, do not post your bike here, ever. For Fear Of Ridicule... FFOR!

Piece out

Oh, there is a show off page in here somewhere (someone post the link please - i dont have it)

I think he wants this thread

You made me lol there...

I meant the in progress "show off you bits" thread...

I've learnt that; thanks for reminding and I'll keep it in mind. Galleries I suppose (not in the rules).

I'm not too fond of the uncalled for abuse by some. But that's probably a personal thing.

It happens here as it happens in the real world im afraid.
Take it on the chin. The guys here are a lot of fun. This is the internet but that said, this place is worth playing in.
Stick around, youll learn fast enough as long as you dont fight it too much:-)

You sound like a bloke people love hitting in the face when they've had a few.
Sry to tell you what you already know and have probably already experienced.
Sry for not using more sophisticated words.
we are just peasants , sry for that too.

Thanks again. We'll see how it goes. I've been told I'm an argumentative bastard as long as I can remember, not going to change much now. I'll take it on the chin but not without replying.

This is an interesting forum; I hadn't realised it had branched out beyond the original fg/ss/polo bike sort of stuff.

Lighten up Dylan; I do too. It's not all that important. As I've said to Chainbreaker, it's a good site. I'll get along.

Just telling it how i see it.

it's probably already been said, but try and come along to a ride or beers or something and you'll realise we may be cunts, but we're friendly cunts. The sense of humour on this site takes a little bit to adjust to as well.

I know and I appreciate that. Most of you sound to be from London-ish; not too peasant-ish :-)

Wouldn't I like to. I live in Amsterdam and have 4 bikes standing in my living room (yes, all R's...), and don't ride them enough. Don't ask why.

You're all welcome in Amsterdam anyway (and bring yer bikes...). My local http://www.brouwerijhetij.nl/ is not too bad; I'll buy you a beer.

.........aaaaaannd resume bike porn.

I know, but your set up was too good for me to miss the punch line.

Thought so and "projects" includes finished projects then?
