All the Talbots!

sorry

'The whole is less that the sum of its parts'
... It must be so hard to be a framebuilder.

Having to give the client what they want - The Rob English problem.

Lol

that is some paint scheme

Yes. But you also need to guide them a bit don't you. Here is another RAF tribute theme

don't get RAF tribute there...

I want to commission a Messcherschmitt Bf109 inspired frame from them.

apart from the headset and hubs i am loving that 40 AFS job. brilliantly nuts looking and you know it will ride wonderfully. favourite Talbot bike for a while

That Seatpost!

That Seatpost!

It's there to distract you from the rack

which is there to distract you from the giant head tube

which... hmm..

Basically, it's a giant mess of things, all fighting for attention.

Really like this (apart from the chainrings)

Yea that is rly nice. And proper lenght guards too!

Seat stays and rear guard stays match in diameter!

It's nice isn't it?

Disclaimer - it's mine...

Have only done one short-ish ride on it so far, but was great. It's so nice to have proper mudguards after using raceblades for a couple of years. Have been very quickly won over to tubeless as well.

Did this ever make it in here? If not, this has been fun / ridiculous
