Is it me, or is the chain ring so worn out the chain isn't sitting properly?

Has it got a top tube pad !? Is it still furry? Saddle is a big improvement, rims need a polish though (:

Still furry! And yes, top tube pad ftw!

I think it just looks somehow odd in this picture? It's fine.

euph?

I like that

^ I like it too!

This is said local bike, and the one that turned me onto shiny silver rims in the first place. Old-skool salve!

There's a bike with a red Arrospok floating around uni, too - I'll get a pic of that when I next see it.

I really don't think shiny rims in that depth look good. Box section maybe. Deeeeep veeeez... kinda look like a rappers teeth. Also all those spokes, look silly. After 35mm anything over 28h, is a no-no.

With all of these Chinese carbon clinchers so readily available surly its got to be +50mm carbon 28h/20h, box section, or >>>>>>>>>>>

Doing it right imo.

Frame was mine, then Alex's (whose build that is, now mine again).

My build isn't as nice. More ratty. I had to batter hell out the chainstay to fit my 48t ring on and the powdercoat cracked off a bit so it's now got a rattlecan black fade around the bb.

Gorgeous colour.

Now has Cinelli Pope style bars though.

Sweet baby blue fixie...

I know the first shot was from Japan, the user's a friend of a friend mine in Kyoto, I was having a gaff at the bikes looking very similar, all bikes over there need at least one brake by law, they both have front brakes, similair rims etc...

Photoshop alert!
