Bike porn

Yes. Love this!

It has a quil seatpost (much like some BMC's), belt drive, and a reverse steerer set-up (steerer part of the stem, not the fork). I'm not sure these things add much to performance (apart from the belt obviously ;) ), but I love it any way.

that seat tube looks questionable. is it not really weak?

How could you tell without knowing the wall thickness of the tube?

Nice to see Rob's show-boating Niner reposted yet again...

skipping over the horrific amount of spoke cards this one isn't too bad

The all black thomson post and turbo saddle look so right

any better sir?

Yikes. Lovely.

TBH I've posted it myself somewhere before.

Still, its very much porn for me.

Sorry but that really isn't porn.

Personally I think short Thomson's look silly. Something about the way the post goes all the way up + writing makes the dimensions look really short and stubby.

As for the English frame and the forks/clamp there's been an in-depth discussion on this at least once before. It's a skill/show piece not a 'real' bike as such.

True true, not porn worthy at all

Anyone read me say this? anyone? no? no apparently not.

anyway i think we're all agreed that 'english' bikes are rather lovely, i'm going to repost my favourite

Thoughts?

The english looks well built but at the same time a bit wrong. All his bikes just seem overly fanciful.

So you're saying its porn then ;)

It was just meant to be a reply to the above Rob English post, I just got carried away.

Thoughts?

Carbon track frame with a 28 2x rear wheel? My thoughts are that I want one.

Rob English seems a little confused which parts of the Union Flag are English.

Ha!

Nice, nice, nice...

It is definitely in the correct category here, most of the bikes on his website are incredible. The steerer is obviously a silly idea but I doubt presented as a serious one.

Wtf?.... Page 819 is nothing but a big Repost. All of it.

Seat tube curvature fail. Should have tightened up the angles and followed the line of the rear.

Yes fail, no question. Looks bloody horrible. It's as if someone was trying not to tread on the toes on someone else's patent. Would have been better with straight tubes - someone with more potato skills than me will probably step in at this point.

And cheerio to your knackers on that pink monstrosity set-up.

Oh yes, and the XR2i wheels. No no no no no.

You Sir, you talk out of your arse.
I'd love to hear it from you, proper info to support that
those curves are worse idea than your so said 'perfect line following the rear'...
...sounds like the end of the bell to me.

And so is this one.

I'm still loving (and epic repost) the winter bike with the alfine 8;

(FYI, Alfine 11 fucking rock, a million time better than the 8).

Hyperlinks or it didn't happen.

haven't seen that one before ed, it's fucking awesome

The seatpost is a bit silly too really. But it looks nice.

Nah.

It's a winter bike with thin mudguards and no clearance for larger tyres or mudguards that would cover the sides of the tyres.

There's no end to the amount of slush that can stick on to the sidewalls and fly off, and that bike isn't going to do much to stop it happening, but does prevent you from doing anything to stop it happening.

Aside from that point, which undermines it's use during slushy season, it's a lovely bike.

Dude, I know because I posted them all.
