Bike porn

video here altho they didnt show the back brake... struggling to thing how you can run the cabling to the rear???

I was going to post this one in anti, but given the fallic bars I thought it does actually qualify for porn.

I think there's not much more to se than a pair of brake pads.

In 1981, Hans Christian Smolik (technical editor / columnist of German bike magazine Tour Rund um's Rad) made something like that. Including an integraded brake/shifting lever and some other odd bike parts.
In those days, printed media had some added value.

Warning: do not photoshop a moustache on this guys face...
OMG, just found out that he died in August. Damn.

Wow he has a disembodied head, wonder if that's for sale too.

It is disembodied thumb...

The rear brake is just behind the bottom bracket right?

on the level, yes.

The thing is how do you get the gear and rear brake cables thru the stearer tube?

I see how you could do a more refined version of this:

Tied & soldered makes pretty much no difference to strength. It was originally done to prevent spokes flying around when they broke.

What?

Maybe something similar to this?

i love it how you Europeans can just post links to stuff in German, French etc. I understand, English is not my native, so extra languages are not really a requirement, but is majority of British guys also that over-literate? :))

I like the look of the Level.

**Edit, sorry just found the full photos of the dildo bike in anti where it belongs, but still what the hell is it supposed to be for?

I've got no problem with you daydreaming out loud, but don't bring me into it!

Nuknow, the Cinelli frame, bar tape and saddle is all that remains original to the one in the photo, Everything else looks different.
