Beautiful bike - eccentric BB? By the way, where was that photo taken? It looks very nordic.

The tubes are remains from closed down nuclear powerplants in former USSR (I think that's what BikesnobNYC called it).

I live in Norway, in Sande, a subsubsuburb to Oslo, so you're right Momentum, as nordic as can be.

And, yes, there's a Bushnell EBB in there.

Yihaa ! Tour de Ville, Rollin' on Chrome rockin that oldskool styliee !

Jos that's a beaut..

love the tyres

really cool, but they are tubs :S

that's why they're beauties. and just that stem/handlebar combo is killah.

Jos's bikes reminded me of this site..

That brake is mega weight saving. Good idea.

I thought so - my girlfriend is Finnish so I recognise the trees/red houses/glaciated rock combo! Must be a great place to own a nice mountain bike. I heard that you can take mountain bikes on the metro out of Oslo up a really big hill and bomb the hill back to a metro stop and keep repeating. Is that why you don't need gears? :)

Love the 70's 'metamorphosis' logo.

sweet indeed

essbee sweet indeed

yes, and it totally makes me think of cadbury bars. i mean that in a good way.

yeah, it's amazing.

bikesnob's got sthg to say about it too, he is probably actually rather jealous:

heh, he is right about that one peek-a-boo photo, though.
and this: "laminated a few pages from a Kingsley Amis novel and used them for spoke cards", is genius.

I'll see that Hetchins and raise you a Hetchins. Overload.

i think that is the most beautiful bike i have ever seen.

Why does it say durex?

cause it stops you getting aids?

the curly chainstays make it look like it's been in a crash imo. I don't like how the rear wheel has less clearance than the front wheel. It should have totally straight front forks!
