This is absolutely phenomenal. I love this frame.

thanks Nahguavkire! ;)

yea but it's a hardtail built for a suspension fork currently fitted with a rigid fork (dumb). worse yet, the fork appears to be proprietary (really dumb). and the head tube is way too steep to be fun. (even dumber). it's dumb.

this is dumb because...?

gdr team track bike

that stem needs a bit of viagra

so it would be 6inch rise and no reach?

may as well stick a zero reach stem on and bmx risers!

in germany the stem is called "bierhahnvorbau"

Hey spr1nt, all those bikes have been posted before, numerous times.

In English it's called "Gooseneck".

Yes we covered Textima's in 2008

Needs side-on too:

Absolutely love the look of those wheels for some reason. Tubs & no brake track, so no practical use to me. But still I'd love some.

i have no idea where you got your ideas from but it's a bespoke bike with everything designed together - it just happens to look a bit unconventional but the details speak for themselves? full on chubber porn porn

These ain't no tubs (Rando on theb ack...). The wheelset is also available for clinchers.

Shit bike - shit table.

Too right...
Using a hammer to get a screw in.
Bloody awful.

Tubs & no brake track

And after using a brake 5 - 10 times, you have a perfect brake track.
These rims are painted road rims, incl. wear line.

Ha, looks like they'll go on the ever increasing 'Things to buy' list.

If it's so bespoke and to be used with that fork and only that fork, why build it with suspension fork corrected geometry?

Surely so that you can put a suspension fork on it if you wanted to?

Stop making so much sense.

There seems to be a lack of 'personality' in the bikes selected for this thread these days? It's all either amazing lug-work, 'classic' restorations or bikes that are just put together with good parts. What happened to the bikes that look like someone loves them? Tsk Tsk
