i guess i didn't (who drags these older ones up anyway? :)
however bontrager were available at that time already

i would have thought a modern external bb crankset would save a lot of weight but i don't think a track one exists?

Bontrager Race GXP Track - 42.5 mm chainline
Sram Omnium - 42.5 mm chainline (allegedly)
Sram S300 single ring - 42 mm chainline
surely one would argue the aesthetics, but i think they're quite good-looking

...might as well ...revert to a classical Draisine configuration, which is what I predicted as the next trend...
*damn, I was on trend for once and it got lost in the server fail.

MT i think you're an oracle, i will be the witness for your supernatural prediction powers
however, an appearance of *draisine *on SS forum twice within two days IS scary...

The bike is neither set up as Fixed Gear nor Single Speed, and its not for conversion in Projects.

True. However it's a cross-post from a bike porn thread...
Just how cool is that? :)

Here's the superfast with deep vs and awesome breaking power just for you:

straight from an anti- thread, innit? or was it the other way around? :)

Bloody hell, where did all this newbies coming in and promptly saying what a disgrace each bicycle is? it's as if the council has swapped their bin for a smaller one.

Ed, thanks! You know, us newbies, we just crave the attention of the older site folk, so anything will do...
:)

well what were you expecting? track bicycle?

well, not necessarily
let me re-phrase that - was it porn-worthy to you?

topping it all with black front/silver rear hub and white front/pink rear tyre on a red frame
you actually have to look at it for some time to realize just how big of a hit is for this thread...

...and i'm puzzled yet again
am i in the right thread?

Perfect? Certainly not.
As long as you put it in your livingroom maybe. Not if you want to use it as a commuting bike.
Can't ride it because no pedals
The chain will come off in the front
Street illegal, because no retroflectors/strips/etc to the sides
No lighting
rim brakes that eat your rims and brake blocks and make the bike terribly dirty
Derailleur system that is very maintenance-unfriendly
Rear carrier w/o straps, spring loaded "thing" or bags
So, in the end, it's just a piece of design. Nothing more.
But okay, there is uglier design.

damn. i kinda liked the bike in question, but this comment shattered my world for tonight
please advise - isn't this a look over *function *thread?..

nice drilled chainring
would swapping the chain for something yellowish or goldenish make it anti-?
