Bike porn

That's lovely. Nice enough for Nuknow to post it despite it being blue.

Bugger off philistine, allow me to wank all over those thin-walled skinny tubing bicycle.

That's some hardcore specialism right there. Reminds me of:

That is fugly

i also think its porn. gumwall tyres and the bright paint gives it that 80's mtb vibe.

that frame should flex as fuck

Yeah but with stiff wheels like that, you need a bit of give, otherwise it would be far to harsh to ride on the road.

That is fugly

In what way?

Looks good imo and fit for purpose.

Reminds me/ inspired by Obree's 'old faithful'?

Yellow...but definetly not mellow !

I like its in your face attitude!

now Calfee on the other hand...

...and a tandem for ed :)

...altho missmatching sadels and zipp's with an enve finishing kit makes it boarder-line.

is that a vibrating seatpost or something? why the 9v?

also, webbed lugs.
vom.

I looked at Old Faithful for comparison, there isn't much similarity apart from the single main beam, and Obree's was considerable larger. Going from 30mm to 40mm on the main tube OD can get you twice the torsional stiffness at the same weight, and Obree's was also straight and more robustly gusseted to the seat tube.

There are two different bikes in that composite image, a SRAM equipped Tetra and then a Dragonfly with Calfee's internal (seatpost mounted) Di2 battery.

that's not Old Faithful

Why build a frame specific for a 'purpose' if all you're gonna do is wedge the saddle down as far as possible. Slope the top tube or just use a DJ bike in the first place as a lot of them have horizontal dropouts.

I'm all for people having a bit of a laugh and seeing what trick they can do on their fixed bike, but to make a bike specific for what is essentially big wheel BMX seems pretty fucking pointless to me.

[roasted peas i am sure]

hope it's not a re:

it is
and those lazy guys still didn't chop the bars?..

and this?

I was reading an article about a chap that had recently made his own home-brew bike and had a couple of features in homage to old faithful.. Now if only I can remember where I saw it.

I think it was partly made of wood as well..

I'm pretty sure it was mostly plastic, with wood trim.

SS using Shimano cassetee mountings.
