Bike porn

Hah, I brought that Shimano 600 for £5 a while ago.

What the whole group set or just the dérailleur?
I've got one of those mechs knocked about somewhere.

Just the rear derailleur, I brought it as I quite like how it look to be honest, nice to have it around.

Would make a fancy paper weight

I am loving this;

old Japanese small wheeled bicycle (20"), probably the best one that look so right.

i hate it when people do brake levers like that though

i assume that crank is a 600? cos it looks nothing like my 600, unless there where different variants, to be honest i googled and found nothing

Dura-Ace EX crankset

It's an interesting point about how certain aspect are porn worthy in our eyes, for some the appearance of a lovely bicycles gee us with excitement, everything sync with each other, all the component colour matched, the paintjob a lovely shade of , etc.

But for some, a very ugly bike with odd number of spacers, misaligned rack, tiny MTB wheel, weird handlebar set-up (like the butterfly bar) ugly nodder-friendly pannier etc. excited them because of what the bike can take you elsewhere that a track or even road bike can't.

To me, this is porn worthy;

Because it enable me to explore the world;

Ho-ren-dous! does cycling weekly have a forum? Porn is supposed to be sexy... Stipped back sexy bikes, Be it road, track or even the occasional mountain bike... Thats like looking at a porn star who has just won an advertising contract with The North Face!

ah ok

Looks bizarre to me, a bit like a big wheel bike built for a basket ball player or other 7'+ giant.

I think id rather like to see jenna jamieson in just a north face hat.

*messaging north face with the great ad campaign.

Fuck all you bellends, it's a touring bike. I posted it up because when I look at it I think of open roads, country pubs, fields of rapeseed, the warm sun on my back, pitch tents at dusk, barbecues, hazy horizons and feeling free. Besides, I actually like its purposeful looks.

Hell yes! +1 SP!

I think she already signed up for Oakley

Somehow you're insulating that bicycles are something we should be masturbating to.

Do you?

LOL, Ed, you know there's a practical bike porn thread. That is a horrendous bike to people who are looking for clean lines etc. But I get your point that it's porn because it gets you to beautiful places etc. Totally understand that. It's practical, you love it, or you've even fallen in love with it due to the time your ass has spent on it...

But as a piece of art/engineering. YUK.

The frame moreso than the bike.

ed i'm totally with you. i love thorn, they make bikes for riding not looking at. makes me want to hit the road, whereas i'd be scared of getting the tyres dirty on a 3rensho dream machine
