Sorry, no jokes allowed in the porn thread.

srs bzness

1356 is what i call porn

Love the Chorus groupset in Graphite finish which complements the Rossin perfectly. The Graphite finish was always susceptible to blistering and flaking of the paint finish when the aluminium corroded and also to chipping. The brake levers and gear levers would often have the tell tale signs of the bike being leaned against a wall, whilst the chainset would show marks from the chain unshipping and of course road rash on the rear mech, so this particular groupset would appear to be lightly used.

However, if I was to be picky - which I guess is what the Porn thread is about - then I would suggest that the components could do with a proper de-grease, which would get rid of the grime which collects around the brake pivots, etc. I would also consider using acid gel on the hardware to remove the traces of surface rust or possibly even get hold of a ordinary Chorus groupset without any blemishes on the hardware and swap the hardware over.

The owner has obviously gone to some effort to produce good quality pictures in a studio setting and has also mastered the technique of using a short focal range to highlight the components. So a good effort.

Road grime does also indicate that it does at least get used on the road too, just a pity is was not cleaned off for the shoot.

That Textima at the top of the page is gorgeous.

solid page

It's a track bike at a track. How much locking does it need?

My deepest and most sincere apologies for desecrating the porn page. The dripping irony should have been more obvious....? ;-(

Both reposts (inc fake DOF/Bokeh) SO but worth it...

Some really nice flower pots there!

A for effort on the route 29. Tips the scale towards anti for me though..

Mountain goats are supposed to be OTT. Needs black grips though. Lets not get carried away.

Good page

There were definitely worse Mountain Goat paint jobs, and probably some better ones too. I love the bamboo though.
