Gorgeous frames. Really nice fillet brazing and really good finishing, both the actual paint and the colours. Bike porn aplenty.

My one issue is that all the frames they are selling will come with threadless headsets/Ahead stems. I know this is because the range of ahead stems and compatable forks is so much better than threaded/quill, but I still think steel forks can only look good with a smooth silver quill stem in them. My 2p, nothing more...

I really don't like BLB. I've been in there loads and haven't really ever had a positive experience. I know a few people who say that they just have off days and are generally pretty cool. Maybe they don't like the look of my face (quite possible), maybe i've just caught them on bad days (not very possible due to how many times i've been in). This isn't really a hate comment. I WANT to have a nice time in there, but i almost feel unwelcome these days.....

+1 you are not alone on this one :{)

I was flabbergasted at that, nearly £30 for a shitty tyres, whether I can get the slighty better priced Schwalbe Stelvio for a fiver more (a tenner more than online shop but perfectly normal for actual shop).

thank fuck my girlfriend live near Condor otherwise I wouldn't be able to find a white tyres at non-hipster price, but I still like BLB thought, I once brought a Turbo saddle that they let me have for a fiver, it was in really poorly cosmetic condition but still very rideable.

+1 condor is goodness !!!

Nice collection, tragic web design.

PEKA
Steher
80er JAHRE

Steher are driving just behind the motorbike when it comes to innovation and also administer a wonderful slipstream – the closer the Steher can catch up, the better. And also faster: Top speeds of up to 100 km/h are possible.
The frame geometry of the Steher machine and the small 24-inch front wheel make the particularly short gap to the pacemaker possible.

sorry if repost :{)

nah, i love the ratio
yes, i do feel that my knees are shattered after every ride and its a bit hard to cycle into the wind...but i love the top end speeds with this ratio either way and i hardly stop on the route of my daily commute

i had 50x15 165 cranks brakeless on my track bike which know is resting as my knees are... a reason for not using front brake was that i hated an idea of crashing and denting right side of downtube with brake caliper (where a cable shield housing is :{)... would love to get my hands on delta front brake as it would look rather nice :{)

bad luck- High performance bicycles are made of thinner tubing, so the hole will be larger if the outside diameter is kept the same.
As a result, a larger seatpost size is often a sign of a higher quality bicycle. This has resulted in a de facto standard of 27.2mm for high quality bicycles that have 1 1/8 O.D. seat tubes. Since high quality seatposts are widely available in 27.2, most high end aluminum and carbon fiber road bicycles also use 27.2.
(from sheldon brown.) join us pug owners in the shitty seatpost club.

My PUG comes with 27.2 seatpost :P

just finished putting my "rat beater", yes yes it beats up rats so you suckers better hide! And pretty pleased.

Not the best photo, but best i could do with that weather. 53 to 18gearing FTW!, brakeless :)

I still think its screaming out deep v's to me....please prove me wrong Ed....

speed wise exciting, but your knees... i'm sure your will change ratio in next few months :{)

Are you sure you been following the bike porn topic? otherwise you'd have notice the obvious repost in the first pages of this topic!

do what I did a while ago - go through the entire 223 pages of porn, it's not boring as you'd think.

ed you are posting the same message all the time :{) is it one of your handy shorthand examples?

its to keep all racers on an even keel so as that when they are racing there is no advantage over the bikes
so all gambling is down to the rider

it is limitation stamp :{)

Another good find Ed, those bars look mean (not sure of that's in a good way though).

practical... i haven't seen many riders holding bottom of the dropbars while moving :{)

goldtec hubs have a 45mm chainline

that's true... if you like them :{)

pre 1960's Campagnolo Pista fluted Cranks with a 52 tooth chain ring. As you can imagine a pre 60s crank set has wear from use but they still look beautiful and all threading and tappers are fine...SOLD

Offers.[/quote]
"In 1967 Campagnolo went to 144 BCD from the previous 151 BCD on road and track cranks. The cranks were available in 165, 167.5, 170, 172.5, 175, 177.5, and 180mm lengths according to Campagnolo catalog #17a"

gippieme and ofmega

The most beautiful ever, was the TA Tevano chainset.
Basically a copy of old style Campag, but better. Havn't seen one in years.

in what way better? aesthetically or practically?

I think you need to catch up a bit :-)

and if it is a period/classic build...?

nope.
Paul comp cranks.
ahh i love the fuckers.

they come in polished silver too......

don't forget paul cranks have 44 mm chainline... :{(
