Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Probably an obvious answer to this question but....how do you guide brake cables/casing through top tubes that have holes for internal cabling?

With difficulty. What I've done is get a bit of thin wire, poke a loop of it through the rearmost hole, thread the inner cable through until you think it's caught in the wire, then pull the wire loop out and hopefully pull the inner out with it. Then push the outer cable onto the inner.

If you've got an old cable in the frame already then you can just use that to run a replacement down i.e. remove old inner, push through new inner, remove old outer, thread on new outer. So you only really have to do it once.

You don't run the cable housing throught the tube, it stays outside (which reduces the amount of cable outer compression as a benefit). Also, top tubes designed for internal cabling usually have an internal guide tube that the cable inner runs through.

Built in U lock anyone?
silly bike

why design a new bike to use quill stems on new bikes, that aren't even supposed to look classic? stupid bike

If the cable outer is not still in there, I believe it's a nightmare. Think you have to use a magnet and have lots of patience to drag it along to the right position.

have you tried the Adamo? If so, your comparisons?

No I haven't, so I can only say the SMP looks better ;)

That integrated lock is one of the dumbest things i've ever seen

1+, it's a lovely idea, until you realise that you'll need to lock both your wheels, thereforth need probably 3 lock (including the one on the bike), also with that much room, thieves would probably try and twist the bike to pop the lock out.

it's a great idea, just unsuitable.

^^^ trying to figure what it's meant to be, but am stumped.

early 'nineties XC LoPro...

Obviously.

It was all about the aero tuck, and reducing frontal area on the single track, back in the day.

Obviously... but what's the point if you have a metre long stem?

also, is that the rear brake mounted under the chainstays behind da bb?

^Probably the most inappropriately named company ever – you’ll not be feeling very serene riding that as everybody points and laughs at you

Repost I know.

But spat my coffee out over this on Saturday Morning TV.

A price tag of £3800.

People will buy this.

^ ewwww

I hate design.

I love that frame! WANT!!!

There is some right old shit on this page, top marks.
