BBBs - Big Beautiful Bikes

Where's your other one (Taylor) B?

Wow, this just gave me a better sleep last night; it made everything better retroactively.

Where's your other one (Taylor) B?

Here Mr Loins :)

and while we're at it, the Roberts Road Bike,

the Peregrine,

and the Current Project.....

The Crane's Somec is a Winner, and the Carrado, and Merckx..and the Vivalo...Good Thread !

Nice stable, Mr Jammin. Particularly taken with the Peregrine.

Here's my Nature Boy with its 'nice' wheels on:

And I guess this qualifies as well. Big frame, big wheels, big tyres:

When did you pick up that Colnago?! Cor I don't think you need it, you sell me?! :P

A few weeks back, and you're right, I didn't need it. I had left myself one last project and then this came up at the right (wrong) time. I had just cleared the shed out as well, don't know what happened there ;) all i know is if you see me with another bike, i'll be half the man i used to be.

Lovely rides unharmed, been a fan of that Singular from the 29'er thread, very tasty.

What's with the stupidly long seat-posts? Those frames are simply too small for the rider if that's how they're being ridden.

You haven't seen Seb (Flickwg) in the flesh, the man has the inseam of the shard. I'm assuming the same can be said for Zdrenka. It's easier to compensate that way than the length of the bike...

Here is a comparison of Seb's skeletal structure, with a normal person in frame for reference:

Doubt that. I'm sure my inseam is nearly as Long....

Seb's life will change one day when he buys a bike that fits him, as mine did when I got my Cannondale, then surly, then Corrado.

Not mine...obviously/unfortunately. The Parlee that caused controversy in the porn thread. I love this bike

I remember seeing him riding and his arm is locked even when on the top.

i love that bike

I hadn't thought of it in a while, the Parlee reminded me of it. I like the pro vibe on it, it's where I'd go with the VN track up there, in the stem debate ^

i also still love this bike and thought about a similar custom one quite often

I remember that Parlee. I think it's fantastic.

I'm not sure how this is meant, but in case you even care here are the results from the competitive cyclist fit calculator.

Oh can i have your feather then :p

Damn. You really are a T. Rex.

You seem to be about the same size as me Seb. All my bike are in the 67/68 seat tube and 58/60 top tube range. I think I'm a little taller than you though, overall...

who knows, i think this thread needs to have ride, next saturday good for anyone?

Interesting that. We are a similar height with the same sternal notch measurements but your legs and arms are longer than mine. I have a longer torso though.

It recommends a longer top tube/stem for me though?

[code]
Seat tube range c-c 61.6 - 62.1
Seat tube range c-t 63.5 - 64.0
Top tube length 58.1 - 58.5
Stem Length 12.5 - 13.1
[/code]

Yeah I know, bike fit on the internet and all but...

i think its a good way to get an idea, yeah my torso is a bit short, even with long arms not quite enough to compensate fully

Worth a mention here. It's just gone on ebay.
