Can't attach the picture. But it makes me angry somehow

Can't attach the picture.

Why not? Or did you mean embed?

Thanks. Embed yes.
My temperamental internet link doesn't help, either.

It looks terrible but the geeky side of me loves the belt drive, disc brake and single sided fork. Just the idea of it. Maybe if the bike was matte black.

And for removal of all doubt....

There used to be single-sided seat-stay bikes too in the past.

S'not really my thing...but I have to admire thinking that went into it.

Hm...yes it's different...but...

No, just no. Still, give a day or two, someone will post it in porn.

Its interesting. But you'd need a good reason to have so many linkages.

might spark a debate but brooks on a cervelo ....

Works well with the spacer stack.

I've seen plenty of vintage Italian bikes in books about Ye Olde Days with Brooks saddles...especially for market outside Italy. Some Italian riders also uses Brooks Pro, yes Italian saddles were more common but Brooks not unheard of.

Cork plugs on a modern frame now that IS anti :P

Nah, cork plugs + black tape matches the gumwalls. And gumwalls on modern black bikes are pure feckin' filth.

I think this is sick as fuck. I wonder how much it will weight though

Not sure it is anti. Not my kettle of fish, It's interesting concept. Wonder how strong the rear triangle is..... Something a little fascist about its design, the right angles of the frame, the red black and dash of white.....

That's bringing the abuse of the term "fascist" to a new height. As a matter of fact fascists of all sorts loved not invention, but venerated the past, traditions, and adored historical pastiches.

Yeah but they liked right angled bikes with a red/black colour-scheme more.

well deserved

Anti is pretty harsh, but it is a bit of a mess.

yeah bit harsh.

different color bar tape and a different saddle and it would look nice.

you just missed the worse bit! and that's the chainring durhhh

Thing is, is that a full SR group? Which makes me worry about the misspent enthusiasm...

Oh OK it's full SR, so then it's just the bartape, saddle, rims and toeclips that are keeping it here.
