As the title says. Posted to Australia. Either straight or with some rise (like below).
-
I mounted a bottled cage on my CX bike with jubilee clips (aka hose clamps) no problems. Bit of old innertube and bar tape protected the frame.
Carried a full 750ml bottle without any dramas.

Paintbrush dipped in paint and then flicked?

Lets break it down...
- 650c front wheel
- left hand drive
- set back seat post
- saddle angle
- leopard print saddle
- toe clip covers
- snake skin deep V
- toe straps in upside down
- Chub hub
- rear valve(?!?!)
- white tyres
- chainring bolts (not only coloured, but multi coloured)
- leather top tube protector(?)
- untaped bars (that look like flopped n' chopped Nitto B123's / 125's)
It just keeps on giving.
- 650c front wheel
-
Actually, those Nitto m106's look a lot nicer, and you can't fault Nitto's craftmanship.
-
I love this so much, and I'm not a MTB fan at all.
-
I reckon I'm going to get the Soma's when i rebuild my 'cross bike.
-
Ah, well that makes sense.
-
De Rosa road fork on the Merckx?
-
^ That's some 12/13/14 year old kid's from Melbourne.
-
that yous?
No. Spotted it on www.fixed.org.au
-
Back to rat bikes...
Somec.

Those rear stays and seatpost binder bolt are fucking gorgeous.
Shame about the bar angle.
-
Neither <£1000, nor a Raleigh, but I think this is quite nice.
Looks a bit rich (Red? Thomson? Rotor Cranks? Bottle mounts?) for a race machine, but yeah, looks nice.
Personally I'd go alu or carbon to keep the weight sensible then use basic components for durability. But I guess if you can afford to replace £200 red mechs every other weekend knock yourself out :)
Bottles and tyres make me think it's a road-n-trail type bike rather than a racer.
I'd have gone for q rings and bigger tyres (they look like 28s).
It's think it's an off season set-up. I know as soon as the CX season finishes in Australia, I'll be swapping out my 'cross tyres to some Panaracer Pasela's in 32c and putting my bottle cage back on. After buying a steel 'cross bike, I have no need to ride my steel road bike anymore. CX bikes are perfect for year round ridjng.
As for alu vs carbon vs steel... If I was getting a Hufagel CX frame, I'd be getting steel too.
Also, pretty sure the same guy own's this...

The streets will be full of giant pedalling cunts!
Fuck you, David Koepp!
Fuck you, John Kamps!
and fuck you too, Joseph Gordon-shitting-Levitt!
Due to your desire to be involved in a fast paced action movie, you've most likely unwittingly filled our streets with platoons of fixiebiek wielding tits, who'll hold a vague, yet ridiculously futile interest in cycling, until all their friends point out that longboards are cooler. And they'll ride like acid-dropping messengers, but with no experience and not a single fucking clue.Uh, the streets are full of wankers who think they're messengers. It was like that in 2009.
-
this may spark some debate.
I see nothing wrong with it. it's a practical SS, with nothing ground off preventing it frome being turned back into a geared road bike. The components aren't the best of the best, and I hate white rims, but other than that.
-
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
-
-
Anyone knows what tyres they are?
-
Ha! That's my friends bike. The frame snapped at the head tube / downtube.
-
This is absolutely gorgeous.
-
Aso, are the forks on backwards, or are the decals just shit?
-
I think the internet has ruined bikes.
Kids see their fixie heroes with untaped bars and tri-spokes and arse cannons, and then they build something like that PCO PRO.
