  • Whether or not you read the post, the bike´s being launched as part of a brand (marketing) campaign, putting fixed gear riding as something fashionable and appealing; (there´s a logo)

    By being associated to a name like LG one would expect something to look at...
    that shit hurts, in every bit possible. It´s were you see it all wrong, like Cinelli coming up with Fluor/Neon x BLB collabos. It´s miseducating public. Maybe some bits changed and it could be better, but the bike is meant to represent an appealing option of commuting. There it fails, imo, BIG TIME.

  • hang on, it look like it have the same design fault as the LEADER, look at the amount of space left between the seat tube and the wheel.

    what I do like about it, is the lack of bridge on the rear triangle, just like the BMW Gangsta.

    The leader doesn't have enough space, this one has too much space. You can fist that clearance... Leader clearance thing is fixed in the 2010 model btw

  • R&R is neither fashionable or appealing.

    Could have probably got away with a seat tube without the cutout! Why have a cutout when the tyre wouldn't even touch the seat tube anyway?

  • Overkill

  • Overkill

    overkill as what?

  • its not overkill for what the frame was developed for
    it may be overkill for you to ride round with a pair of risers and an arrospok on

  • For Boardman that is serious underkill

  • Pro flex - aptly named cos they were flexy as hell, as in laterally, vertically and any otherally..


    Yeap - I feel pretty dirty right now...

  • I used to have a proflex 856 (^^ that is not an 856!) - they were perhaps a bit flexy after a bit of wear, but at the time they were pretty top suspensions frames - Henrik Djernis used to win everything XC related on them.

    You must have seen me cruising down Oxford street.

    I have their team jerseys and shorts for distance rides- the black/red ones and the white.

    Why? cos it cost me £27 quid for each jersey and short set, and the shorts are super comfy, plus they look a hell of alo better than HTC or Astana strips

  • I really lik*e the** Project 4815. *A new look at graphics and the seat cluster/rear stays are great.

    A little too much clearance by the front wheel, but new bars and stem and it'll look hot.

  • Ok, I'm confused. It's not cabon, but an alu frame. But has dropouts that are Belt Drive compatible. So all good in my book!

  • I'm sorry, but no one of the above even comes close on the ugly-o-meter to this...

  • I think I'm in love.

  • I prob shouldn't like this, but I do!
    Those rims are real nice. I love the geometrics of the spacing

    You like what you like.Nowt wrong with that.

  • I don't understand the setting adjustment on the back. how does that work?

    Doesn't change the geometry, but I think it's designed as a soft-tail (along with the bowed fork providing front suspension) and the adjustment would modify the spring rate.

  • it's means it's not anti

  • god bless daltonism!

  • before:

    after:

  • OOF, damn shame.

  • it's neither porn nor anti porn.

    like 99.9% of all bikes.

  • it's a fucking huge picture, that's what it is.
