I quite likes the ergos, but then thats probably because they look comfy, which is always nice

From this;

To This:

With some super tight clearances!

Nago would look nice with my Chorus/Croce groupset.
And black tyres.
Or slightly aero charcoal ceramic rims with yellow tyres to look rad.

It has a Chorus Headset already ;)

Mine is the key.

It's shiny.

Bloody nice De Rosa that. Will that be seen around Brighton/PrezzyP?

EII, send me pictures,
Terderloin, If you were ninja, you might have seen it buzzing about last night :)

Please sort your bar tape out before i have to hunt you down and kill you.

(Shit, when did i turn into Ed?)

Cheescake, you've upset my innerdesigner with that choice.

I nicked those bars off my Misses track bike, I had no other OS/31.8mm Bars to hand. Will chuck a set of Easton's on when I see a pair!

With sensible coloured bartape i hope?

you bought a gansta to ride "now and then" (as you put it)?

Yes, every now and then till I have the cantis, can't exactly use the Gangsta to teach Cycle Training can I? would be quite the hypocrite.

me - which brakes should you use to perform an emergency stop?

trainee - er... both?

me - quite right

trainee - why didn't your bike have brakes?

me - because I'm a bad ass motherfucker.

How does the BMW ride? Just looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable

No, no ninjaing for me. When I do see it I will wolf whistle very loudly, and maybe punch the air. Or just start applauding.
Nicest bike in Brighton that.

Bearly man, how did it happen??

On another note, I've just dropped the Brooklyn Gangsta off to a framebuilder in Deptford to get cantis mount done, after much discussion we were toying with the idea of getting integrated rack on the Gangsta just to carry pannier a la Rob English (the stem have been flipped the right way round... hater);

Oh Ed, What the bollocks are you up to now?! You can't just leave them be can you. You're obviously determined to make the most pointless, fuck ugly, jack-of-all-trades hybrid bikes around aren't you?!

LAWLZ!

a million time better than those shit;

It's an homage to the Forum. Mascot bike.

surprise someone took this long to make the connection.

What are you planning on carrying in those panniers? Bricks? That rack looks like its made of scaffolding.

...and yes, I see the pixels.

Expensive Pengy.

As the rack level is lower than the tyre, then bricks (anything!) maybe a problem unless its IN a pannier.

Upside down stem too
