excellent bike shop, awful looking saddles


swwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhhhh

Cervelo, the bike that never have the handlebar lower than the saddle.

ed, is that readers wives?

Somebody told me a funny story along those lines yesterday.

London West testers will be familiar with the parties. As you know, in his later years Chris Hart kept riding in spite of his body letting him down, and as a result had various special frames made to accommodate his special needs. One was a TT frame with geometry adapted to take a suspension fork, which naturally gave the tall stack height he needed and reduced the jarring which troubled his old bones. On Chris' demise, Mick Fountain inherited the contents of his bike shed, and thought to repurpose this bike for his own use, and in spite of his grey beard Mick still gets as low as anybody. So, he bethought himself to simply drop a road fork into this frame to bring matters down to his level. What he had not allowed for, or seemingly noticed in his haste, was that Chris had shaped the frame to have a low BB, another concession to his dotage with which many ancients will sympathise. So, upon setting out for the first time on this new steed, the already low BB, now dropped even further by the radically shortened fork, and in combination with some doubtless length cranks, meant that MIck travelled no more tha a few feet before his pedal hit the ground - not while cornering, mind, but in a straight line!

Needs moar tits, swearing and LOLs. I will give you a 6.5 for the story but a 3 for delivery.

Re: Cervelo R3:
Long chainstays suggest ex-team PR special. Team mechanic's beater?

Looks like the brake levers have been set close to the bar for small hands and it looks like a female saddle. I can't see any mechanic putting the saddle rails at that sort of position and riding it.

Amazing.

That stem on the KHS fucking hell... The monstrosity above could be the winner so much FAIL

its called the visp france edition

Replace the saddle and bag with a black Flite or Concor and wrap the bars in black bar tape and I'd ride it. Would almost qualify as a HHSB.

Amazing.

it's the cap in foreground that really does it for me.
