Bike porn

I'll never understand someone dropping grands on a beautiful mint coniditon 80's campy equipped colnago pista, then put a fucking Rally on it.

(also for this bike NJS grips >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>)

Aye, shows a bike built for display rather than for riding.

it's nice to see own bike here, but it's a repost (DA10 drivetrain is for sale at the mo, FYI)

WTF.. ! Now you expect me to post pixs of a Hobbs of Barbican with tassles on straight bars and baseball cards on the stays..
I'm a KOF and can call my work any damn thing I please too. Photo quality? I spend weeks at a time caressing the steel as it's joined and finished. I don't need a stinking picture.
Don Walker; like my self and some of you on this list suffer from assholeism from time to time. If you don't want me adding to the conversation I'm just as happy to waste time elsewhere.

You speak very highly of your own credentials and add to the spaming of what should be some photo's of some nice bike with maybe the odd critique here and there.

Also current projects>>>>>>>>>>>

Has anyone ever done a nicer blue than that Miyata?

Not quite porn, but maybe the best of the retro/heritage OTPs

bye now. You are now free to continue tearing down the work of engineers and craftsmen that did all the thinking and work for you, save the bastardizing you so idolize that so aptly describes you.

tearing down the work of engineers

If you were really an engineer, you'd have calculated the likely performance of your design, and then measured the actual results to test your theory.

We don't love Cervelos because Vroomen and White tell us to, we love Vroomen & White because independent tests consistently demonstrate that their engineering skills yield real world results.

Now fuck off back to Albuquerque where there are still plenty of mugs stupid enough to buy your snake oil as long as you slap a "Made in USA" sticker on it.

...and Miche cranks.

Love this frame.
(To all you Mashers, no slope=win)

.

Yes, would definitely have been better to have just posted the frame, as the build is pretty rank.

both of those blues were pretty average and ugly.

Now fuck off back to Albuquerque

....And so another frame builder with years of experience hand making the very thing which originally attracted us all to this place leaves the forum.

It's totally understandable that somebody who has spent the best part of their life building bike frames will defend their skills and ideas, especially if records have been broken on those very bikes...regardless of how big or small a part the frames details played.

And yet the same old people just never let it lie...they have to keep going on and on, trying to win their stupid little arguments and prove some kind of point.
No respect for the fact that here is someone who has spent their life building bikes, trying new ideas, and has results to show for their time.

@mdcc tester...maybe if you had got Dave Porter to drill a few holes in that fucking huge chip on your shoulder you might have broken a few more records and been in a better position to belittle others achievements.

^^^and Miche cranks.

Love this frame.

sorry, I missed something?

poor form mdcc. really piss poor. i vote for a ban. you are the leader jackass.

and equally as shocking is how much energy you put into being such a jackass.

Guess what I saw hung up in an awesome bicycle shop in Sacramento of all places?

The best thing about it; it's all 100% original.

that picture reminds me of this

poor form mdcc

Funny how it's always the 'merkins who turn out to be the whiny little pricks. I vote for a ban on any IP address originating from the wrong side of the pond, that would improve this forum no end.

I've seen this so many times, on so many forums before.. Someone starts an argument, loses that argument because he can't back up his claims with actual proof, and then dramatically announces he's leaving the place for good because the mean kids are picking on him. Then the very people who were complaining about the argument in the first place will continue arguing even though the root of the problem is gone.

It's over, let's get back to posting porn.

TBH after reading the past few pages and some other rants I have difficulty not believing mdcc is a sociopath.

Could not give enough rep for BRP despite him liking those fat tired snow bikes.

Calm down you daft git.

Yeah, because all US people are idiots. No idiots in the UK, none at all, never met one, not a single one.

Pretty obvious from where I am standing - and that is from a rare self aware sociopath who not surprisingly rates fairly highly on the autism scale. Constant battle to not just come across rude and not a battle that is always won...
