I remember that ad... looks really freaky now.

I'D ride that

i would too, doesn't stop it being ugly. also a bike like that, but then with clips and straps? fail

Has anyone got one in London's famous London?

A 464 I mean, not an ugly bike (lots of those in London).

First time I've seen a 464 built up, and it's horrible. WTF is up with those bars, look like they came out of the mould before they were set! I think the frame has porn potential with the right build.

Probably a repost but,

Here is the owner.

I actually like it for being so mental. I'd do one in all orange and go trip on acid in amsterdam

That seat is way too high for his stubby legs.

But a perfect height for a brakeless hipster fixie skidder who has no idea how uncomfortable their bike is until they end up riding more than 3 miles in one go.

slack chain?

Not really.

look like the right amount of slack, better slack than tight.

What a load of old guff!

Whats wrong with that?

Gra'am doesn't like it.

“We wanted to make a bicycle that is as generic & timeless as possible, using both modern and vintage design features for that custom made feeling. We chose a straight fork both out of aesthetic & functional reasons as it makes for a quicker sensation. In fact, all angles on the Sson 028 are true track bike angles. The frame is made using CroMo steel 4130 & all intersections on the frame are tig welded except one that is lugged. We also incorporated the timeless aesthetic of the bicycle by using a fashionable N.Y. style 41 cm cut off riser handlebar & connecting it to a drop stem & vintage looking threaded Tange headset. We also wanted to add a vintage feel to the saddle, so we put it toghether using brass rivets. The front wheel is laced radial style & the back wheel has a flip flop hub, which makes it possible to choose whether you want to ride fixed gear or single speed.”

Sounds like a load of wank to me.

Exactly

It's a dull as piss white bike

Why bother with 1 lug?
