Bike porn

not porn, back brake and bottle cage on a track bike?

The very fact that has two brakes and bottle cage mounts should tell you its not a track bike. its 100 percent porn

that frame should flex as fuck

I wondered how far into NAHBS weekend we'd get before somebody posted that utterly pointless Cherubim. A Pointer mating with the USS Enterprise is only porn if you're into sci-fi/animal/

yes, i love cpt picard and tron, so it's porn for me

that is rad to the max

Oh please...........

No, it's fucking stupid and would flex like a sapling under any real weight. I agree with 'tester.

Very nice, in a simple understated sort of way.

36er in the background? Want!

Black Sheep, maybe?

No, just a tiny man.

Whoa. Thats a proper ride.
Great find.

For the people who still think it's a good idea, imagine if you will the torsion being applied to the frame in the image below. Now consider what would happen to the main beam of that Cherubim if you applied the same load. How much do you think the front of the bike would rotate relative to the back, assuming a 30mm diameter round steel tube of modest wall thickness? Calculation for a hollow torsion bar can be found at http://www.roymech.co.uk/Useful_Tables/Springs/Springs_Torsion.html

In round figures, every 1° of rotation equates to a tracking error (i.e. the back wheel not following the front) of 10mm

out of interest, Tester, do you know what frame that is that the closest woman is riding?

That's Wendy Houvenaghel on one of the Team GB/UKSI bikes.

That is an abomination, the worst thing I have ever seen, a waste of good components and a waste of time and tubing making it. Looks rad but bound to be bendy as a soft cock and will probably snap if the rider trys to ride it fast a lot.

Surely you guys that judge the asthetic quality of bikes on here take in to account how well a machine functions as well as its form?

Isn't there another thread for that? Despite how it would ride, looks great imo. Then again, like you said, tubing could have been spent to create a bike just as nice that would actually perform as good as it looked. It probably won't be ridden anyways.

Perfect, anyone know what tyres they are?

It's a tubular tyres, but other than that no idea.

What is that blue one? Minus the dropouts, almost looks like a Waterford. Very nice

Black Sheep, maybe?

Looks like it. Also want.
