Bike porn

superprecise

by car it's about 1000km from where i live to london.
how long does it take by bike?
if we both go half the way maybe we could meet up in belgium
and be 'not gay' together...

it seems like it has to stay a platonic 'not gay' relationship. :|

Can I recommend The Netherlands instead?
That way if anything ahem happens, you can blame it on the drugs.

Please, don't thank me, my post was not in support of you or even directed at you, If you want to spend your time whining about what other people's bikes look like then go ahead, but don't attempt to recruit people who basically disagree with your pissy little internet argument.

:)

I know it''s absolutely incredible isn't it !!! What could have possibly happened in these people's lives that would make them do such a thing. I have sat here and thought about this, but there is absolutely no possible reason I can think of this how this could possibly happen, like I say it is just fucking perplexing, I am right now churning is a sea of cognitive dissonance.

You love cognitive dissonance, Tynan.

It's one of the only things I remember from studying psychology at University, and that's because I was fingering a girl in that lecture.

fucken loved that film, awesome. good to see that prick do something good. :D

i try to give a summary:

• tight clearance
  
• needs a silver seatpost
  
• wheelset doesn't suit the bike very well (needs a classic one)
  
• rim sticker fail
  
• frame sticker fail (yellow on white, i can't understand)
  
• why do people ride brakeless but use rims with a machined sidewall? though there's no possibility to mount a brake on this frame/fork.
  
  

I agree 100% but i still like the look of the bike.

Guys, 'not gay' = hetero. The unnecessary negative is hurting my left temple.

I think it was a joke to suggest non-hetero activities

why do people ride brakeless but use a HED3 that have a machined sidewall? oh wait, there isn't a non-machined version!

I ride one brakeless, because it's a clincher...

I know :)

I know :)

Ouch, my temple!

Ouch, my temple!

Allow me to divert your attention away from the pain. So which leg is it going to be?

this place is becoming really narky.

i sometimes wonder what this place will be like in a year, will it last a year? then i think why am i wasting my time thinking about this, then i think why am i wasting my time typing this, then i realise that is the whole point of the forum.

ah well, now come on slag me off, bring it. i have a machined side wall on my rear wheel and it's fucking brakeless, all you haters suck my balls.

I can go one better. I have a back brake on a non-machined rim. So there ner ;)

In Belgium you could blame it on the Duvel

First time I see this stem actually look good. Stripped.

Just finished one, sloshed out the last quarter and overflowed. Hell.

first time i see those gipiemme wheels on a bike.
my lbs used to have one lying around.
i was asking myself whether to buy them one year ago.
but i didn't have a good solution for a singlespeed cog on a campa freewheel
and i didn't want to disassemble a cassette.
those wheels look pretty good and yes it's probably the first time that stem matches
the bike it's mounted on.
still have a problem with those aerobladed carbon forks...

I have boxes and boxes of those duvel glasses if any one wants some...

hah, the tamagotchi i posted got alot of attention. i didnt really post it as visual porn, its has shit hot componants and we all know it would be a dream to ride. i also think it would look alot better with a classic wheelset.

saw one of those gipiemme wheels the other day and was very tempted. not really sure if i like wheels with that low of a spoke count, or if the novelty attracted me, much like the first time i saw an aerospoke or hed3. i thought they were made by shimano, could have sworn it said so.

@Gipiemme Wheels- +1

@ Cinelli Alter stripped- +1
@ Duvel- +2

My friend's Dad is the importer for Duvel in Ireland...Holla

:)

that's a bike i like very much.

• geometry.
  
• colour.
  
• wheels.

How much weight can those wheels support though? I'm assuming this is purely for track use being the nub that I am.

That's exactly the same frame of my ride, different color and differently branded but same frame builder...
I know a guy who still has some frames like this in his shop in my hometown...

That looks pretty good. Not keen on the wheels but it's nice to know my bowery can be made to look half decent with some nitromors and a nice steep aero track fork to tighten up that horrible gap between wheel and downtube.
