Dibs pending flick of faceplate. PM incoming.

Utter porn.

When paired with a ti spindle a very strong, proven design at a reasonable weight?

agreed. leave it leave it leave it

Paint stripper paired with steel wool/ brush for stripping frame and fork. As for rims and cranks, more likely that they're anodized which stripper will have no effect on. If you want those stripped a bath in any caustic solution will do the job nicely.

Wanted bigger risers and found these old alu ones with a funky brace on 'em and thought I'd try them out for kicks. They're actually really comfortable which may have something to do with the considerable amount of backsweep they have, think I'm gonna leave them on for a while until I'm more endowed financially at least.

the one i just posted?

Yep.

I think Tenfour has ruined frame webbing for me.

I'm on another board with the dude that built the red Raleigh Track on the previous page, that Bianchi is his girl's bike.

Huge potential though. Pity.

that is elegant i like

Crooked stripes

I have a 48t Gebhardt and it's dialled. Machining and finish are on point.

thats my bike (or old since i sold the frame for another project)
here´s a newer pic of it:

sex.

That is mental. Looks like something Nicolai might make if they did a road frame.

Steamroller looks really nice Eamesy.

Totally finished my Mob. Can't think of anything else to upgrade. Pretty much 100% pimped.

Turned out great Chris!

She's a beaut.

It's a custom frame and fork Gary Melms built for himself.

What the cock are any of the following doing in the porn thread??

Ugly DJ bike with hideously overweight fork legs. If this bike were human it'd have cankles.

The ugliest Hufnagel I'v ever seen, that stem!

A very bog standard looking TT bike

The bars...the rear reflector....the shame.

Obviously that Melms won't be to everyone's taste but has some lovely, unusual features. Aesthetically it's different to your typical jump bike so people are naturally going to shit themselves. Admittedly I wasn't feeling it at first but I find the looks grow, I really like the clean lines and the fork/ headtube.

That Hufnagel is definitely pornworthy. Beautifully crafted, and those decals. Lovely, functional frame. As for the S-Works, bog standard looking?! Really?

Bang a wooden doorstop between seattube and tire for tension and tighten like a mofo. That's my tactic.

Needs side-on too:

Wow Noca that project is something else. Props!

What I mean was... We entered the establishment, and had left within the space of about 45 seconds.

Brilliant.

On topic:

Pearoasts one and all probably, but ah sure.

Wow, 56/9. The thought of using that ratio on the road.. I'm sure either the chain or driver would give before long though.

If you jump off a kerbs, hit a moderately sized potholes, etc. you may get stopped very sudden.

Eff that.

I wonder if the front tire ever buzzes the frame given the natural flex in the steel forks? Gorgeous bike.

Lovely setup Sumo, as risers go those actually look really nice. I need to pick up something like those that have an inch and a half or so more on each side than the current bar I have.

Edit: What grips are those?!

That langster is one of the few that looks in any way good to me. There's something really basic and minimal about it that I find appealing.

On a semi related note I put risers on my Dolan. I think some people were talking about how, for use on the street, Deda Pistas could be at best uncomfortable and at worst downright painful and I'd have to agree. Although they are still in my opinion by a mile the most aesthetically pleasing track drops on the market, they are horribly unergonomic. I think I'm just going to keep them for the odd trip to the local track or get shot of them altogether.
