Bike porn

Oh rly? If you're going to sacrifice as much braking and shifting performance as Gunter has for that bike, why not just build a weight weenie fixie skidder and lose another 200g? Light bikes are only worthwhile if they are faster than heavier bikes. The only place Gunter's bike is faster than a well considered 5kg build is when you get off it and run up some stairs carrying your bike.

i said 'apparently' in relation to function. Obviously not a race bike, and no one can comment on it's actual performance, but one can speculate it won't be too good, due to lack of rigidity compared to a 5kg bike, as you said. But again who knows exactly how stiff it actually is ?

regardless, it's quite an achievement.

RE Günter Mai's (the ridonkulosly) light bike -

I'm kinda plagerising the idea from an article I read about someother stupidly light bike with purpose/custom built componants, but I agree with it.

The point is to push the boundaries, to show what is possible. These type of inovations then trickle down. MT lots of valid points as usual, but they're all eg of where if you were doing it for any reason other than pure lightness you would make those changes wouldn't you.

Anyway, I think it's a amazing effort and probably porn.

was taken to a new bike shop in Kyoto.. rather alot of porn on the shelves

Did this appear before or after O'Bree's "Old Faithful"?

Can I post this?

Nope. This thread is about bicycles, not skinny tattooed ladies.

Wow touring with an SLR, that guy must have no prostate. I had one (SLR) and it would kill me on a 15 minute ride.

~~ That's me!!?!? ~~ No. No it's not. I've got a tattoo of Russell Grant above my pubes.

Interesting. So you have a Russell Grant above your pubes and in your pubes.

looks like my livingroom

Holy creole! Thats a nice shop..

Some seriously fucked up anti porn right there. Bianchi has track drops with tape in exactly the least appropriate place to hold track handlebars.

The chrome one is just moronic.
