Bike porn

Gaston?

I think that seatpost might be a tiny bit past the limit.

what makes you think that? what if its a 450mm?

Another lesson in MTB porn here.

Proper.

(except for the pedals and fork)

nice chopper

?

not a chopper.

^^^^ Nice frame but nothing compared to the workmanship and proper porn'esque of the Fat Chance Ti above

That Kenevans is minty, but is let down by a few details:

• the stem is too modern (as are the cable outers).
  
• the snub-nosed saddle is ugly.
  
• the cable adjusters on the calipers aren't original.
  
• no dropout adjusters.
  
• the front QR needs to match the position of the rear.
  
  

But the biggest eyesore is those bottle cages: tell me they're not plastic...

Sunday morning: tough crowd.

^ there is a hairball stuck in the casette

^ Thanks; and credit where credit's due: the valve stems are at six o'clock.

lush frame and build, but saddle is too high - major schoolboy error ( although it's pretty borderline - it's enough to make it look a waste of a custom fit bike)

I think that is almost total speculation, seeing as a rider on a brooks can have a +/- of a fair few mm of movement

first full of post on a horizontal tt bike - a rule as old as the hills! you can get a away with a little more or less but too much and it starts looking a mtb from the 90's

pet hate of mine when you see these custom bikes with odd seat post heights, ugly layback posts when it could be corrected in the frame design or too many headset spacers

• no issue on everyday bikes but why spend 1k+ when you could have bought an OTP? the answer is more money than sense or a newbie imho
  
  

if however this particular bike is an exception and for some elaborate medical or personal reason the owner has to have more than normal seat post showing then fine - but for me it's no longer an admirable build

Also, the ugly cable crossover above the stem could be avoided if he cabled the brakes the right way around

[strike] nothing wrong with LH front RH back [/strike] never mind, there's probably some pages of discussion about this

There are two things wrong with LH-Front brake cabling, one that it's forrin, and two that it looks ugly on that bike. It actually works better on modern bikes with cables under the tape, because calipers are handed to the more popular forrin method, but it's still wrong.

If you flat on the front in a race, you put your left hand up.
Front brake controls front derailleur and vice versa.
It also makes the cable bend less extreme for the front.
And just looks ugly because you are not used to it.
As much as I hate to disagree with you, LH/Front makes perfect sense, if only I wasn't so used to the opposite!

too much stem for in here

These frames have one of the ugliest weldings ever made
