Doesn't look like it to me.

It just looks like a fixed cog with a ridge.

could be wrong though.

@DB - yeah, I've looked at those but they range from between 40 and 70 chips. That would be excessive if you saw the other components currently on my bike.

@31 - I've been looking on the bay but it seems as though the 50mm stems are in shorter supply and at higher price.

On the right track though gentlemen. Thanks for the advice.

thats the nicest brooklyn i think ive ever seen
so clean and fresh

is that a model of that sculpture in the Tate Modern?

@sailorsam, sano got you building his new wheels?

It's not a model. They're just fucking massive chainrings.

in all seriousness, where did you get the model?

@ theCrane
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that's not a Merckx it is a Molteni livery De Rosa.
^^^^^^^^^ quick release user error on the carbon parlee from fggallery.

re the quick release how so?

pointing forwards

It's from Tate Modern. Miniature Marcel Ducham wheel sculpture. I think it was his first 'readymade' piece.

yeah, i saw that exhibition, really liked it, never saw the models though, i like it

ha, good call

what's so special about a cockscrew that doesn't even have a bottle opener??

if you can afford that cork screw, there is no way you would be opening beer.

the ultimate unnecessary campag bling

Thanks Superprecise!
