Bike porn

yea, wrong tread.

i do think a single tube an illogical approach that only makes any sense if the bar is completely straight from dropout to headtube.

i imagine the if the single bar makes a completely straight line between the head tube and the dropout then you're only dealing with torsional forces along the length of the tube when under hard pedaling.

i'm not sure which forces a pipe more easily resists... torsion along it's axis, or bending.

my suspicion is that torsion wins, and so bending that tube for aesthetics takes away from any logic behind the design because you're polluting the purely torsional system with forces along a plane. (???)

hope that makes sense. i'm not editing it for clarity.

yea, wrong tread.

Some people are very picky with porn.. Even down to the type of tread on the tyres,

Is that yours?

Just finished ...........

It's not about your bike dude. Who cares about your bike!?
It's about *[U]you*[/U] posting your bike here, it's against Forum etiquette, capice?
It's like you're posting pictures of your own wife saying she's hot, and the likes...
It's not up to you to decide, it's up to us.
You post your projects into the Current Projects thread, we'll decide.
Is that good for you? Does it work 'round your agenda?
Hope so. Now, get a cuppa and delete your pics, please ;)

^^ New style parts on a lugged frame actually looking good. Makes a change. Not a fan of those brakes though

@gridds post: lose the gears and the back brake and that'd be proper porn.
@Toby.d's: hmm, not sure if its proper nasty or just fugly.

well it'll do for road bike porn.

really cant stand ovalised seat tubes with standard seatposts. even worse is ovalised with standard aero seatposts.

Do these have to run internally?

If you mean cables under the bar tape, then yes.

F(rame)464F(ixie)B(ridge)56(cm) perhaps? It was the "fixie" version that I ordered.

I suspect some randomness enters the equation, regardless of what it says on the box, as the various bits which come in the box seem to be originated in different countries and there seems to be some inspection and repackaging done at Nevers. Not sure whether I like the flexibility afforded by the hole in the fork which I didn't ask for or resent it because mine is, as far as I can predict, not going to stray outside the fence of a velodrome.

Snapped this at the UCI event in Beijing. One of the better national themes I've seen.

No. I meant inside the bar?
