Sweet clearances bro

its like a confused freestyle bike..

Just found this... An oldie, but I don't recall seeing it before.

Speed has no eyes.

WTF is going on at headset?

That is incredible.

Yep, that's my friend Myles' bike. The combination of that frame and those forks is a bit 'special'. He's a speedy old chap though - he's done a sub-8 hour Fred Whitton Challenge, which is good going by anyone's standards.

Yeah - that's mine!

Perhaps I ought to explain...

I live in Edinburgh (wet, plenty of hills) and like riding in traffic. None of this combination sits well with the pathetic braking performance that damp Mavic ceramic-coated rims give you after a bit of use. Road-bike mini-discs didn't exist back then - so I had to use some rather long cx disc forks. I was still playing with the setup when I took that post-build pic - hence the final trim of the steerer was some way off.

Sledgehammer to crack a nut? Mebbe ;-P

It's not very pleasant to look at but I think that after he levels the saddle it can be a very good bike to ride. It hurts just looking at the angle

That's BRP Scott's, certainly a strong look.

Someone find the chocolate donkey in touring mode.

Rad, not bad.

That BMW needs purple components

Nothing ever needs purple components. Not even a bike with gold components.

Especially not one that's in the "poo brown" colourway.

So much low// logo rip off…oh and anti…

That's BRB Scott's, certainly a strong look.

im pretty sure ive had a go on the same bike or at least same build, at a bike show where BMW had a stall.

the frame sets certain expectations this build fails to meet.

Not a fan of the chub, but anti is pretty harsh?

Those frames are anti regardless of the build

(Whispers it) I like the colour a lot, but I don't really get the C-track hype either. Especially not for the prices they tend to go for.

Old Cannondales suck as well. They were just cheap copies of Kleins without the technical advancements. Plus, they were ugly.

Would have been a perfectly ok ish retro city bike type thing from foffa or whoever it is that punts out this sort if thing. But dat stem took it over the edge, baby.

Mungo ryde.
