thanks I was starting to think I was mad, that is the one I am drawing inspiration from.

Feck the Mrs'. bike, I want that for me!! That'd be lovely for cruising down the shops for the Sunday paper!!

bike cost me £20 there are loads around

Yes, but when weight matters, the lightest bike is no less than 6.8kg, thanks to UCI. Ask anyone who's had to tape a spanner or 2 to their superbike in order to race it!

I wish it was, no I have just got one and am working on one, and using that one in the pic as inspiration, minus the bars, as it came with nice chrome bars on it.

Agreed. There's also something so pretty about NoBrakes + 'tache bar. I'm going to have to HTFU one of these days and let my naked bars do the talking.

You did all right yesterday riding my bike man. But then you dissed my bike for being too 'trendy'...

hasn't been posted here in this topic yet, but I fucking want one, gorgeous handlebar from Fast Boy Fender with matching brooks, neat chrome fork, wooden rims, and a belt-driven system, final product won't be like that but still;

what? the new belt-drive bike? I doubt it's release by now.

see it last week, belt drive and wooden handlebars, very nice indeed, they told me that is not for sale

T'is true saw it last week.

Crazy.

Wooden rims? Wooden bars? Good shock absorption?

Has anyone actually taken on of these for a ride?

there is a strange thing in one of the rear stays, in the side of the drive train. I was looking at it for a while in the shop, but no idea what it can be.
any ideas here?
