54 x 13 gearing, a 3.2 kg rear wheel and 190 mm cranks.

Fast, but not really beautiful

extra weight? don't make me laugh! what are you? a roadie??

No, a tester (hence the name :-) )

The Hufnagel Macaframa bike, the integrated stem/handlebar look queer to my eyes but nontheless a lovely bike (yes, the wheel is a polished H+Son);

WTF? That point on the seat lug makes this an epic fail in my book; the post can only pull away from it, so all it does is add weight and provide a nice gap to fill with water and crud

Do not understand the need for Disc brakes on any bike that isn't a Freeride, DH or Trials bike.

Fat tyres and mudguards could cause clearance issues with V-brakes, so you're left with cantilevers which might not open wide enough to clear an inflated tyre, plus the straddle cable is probably going to hit the mudguard once you've set them up to actually work properly. Even without the better modulation and lower maintenance, disc brakes make perfect sense on that bike. Everything else about it, not so much.

this is exactly why im always late to work in the mornings

What, you do a session on a stationary bike before leaving home?

Position fail - needs to lower her saddle to eliminate the pelvic rocking.

wowowowowowo

Nice collection, tragic web design.

Nah, the triple-triangle is sweeeet.
MS Paint is awesome, isn't it?

Actually, IrfanView.

Swap the wheels for a pair of original Shamals, lose the Spinaccis and delete the 'Art' option on the Grammo stem and it would be quite nice

Fools... The Chink Panther™... I rest my case...

Fixed

Massively anti in my eyes.

+1 - never seen anything 'triple-triangle' that was anything but anti-porn

were flash meters not invented when this pic was taken?

I thought the exposure was about right

??? thats strange ??? What you gonna do in the wood's with that transmission and that handlebar? riding for a shit in the wood´s maybe. It's totaly mixedup an especially made for doin particular nothin particularly and it just looks like it...the brooks and the disc brakes oh comon...some people does not just have too much money---that ride is going places...

Bracken = pine forest = fire/logging roads. That bike would be the biz as a fire road blaster somewhere like Swinley, and a great tow path bike too.

But...what i think is that if you were to put a System x, Miche, (any good cheap hub) against an njs hub you'd find very little difference at all, except for the price, which is vastly different, especially for us europeans.

AFAIK, there are no cartridge bearing NJS hubs, probably because you couldn't individually polish your balls at Keirin school

Sure, they look nice, but will they hold spoke tension, or handle a bump in the road? Form over function, not on a hub please.

Are they worse than the road version? I've got 'Sheriff Star' road hubs on my lo-pro, and before that they were on my hack bike for years. As I understand it, they only fall apart if you fail to lace them tangentially.

If it's "my favourite VP pic day", here's mine

I built that bike up... The stem is a Cinelli pista, which apart from the Deda pista is the only track a-head stem on the market (I think?)

Pro Vibe track stem is porn, and follows the modern trend of short head tubes with up sloping stems:

Porn, and dirty porn at that.

just wait, I refered to couriers as an "econmic indicator species"

Here's your economic indicator; I sat in the van for the full half hour programme and the phone didn't ring once.

Wimbledon Stadium, but unfortunately road bikes...

My local machine shop does little mods like that for a few quid, there must be one near you, although you could buy your own M6 die and holder for under a tenner, which is probably cheaper than schlepping across town to borrow somebody else's

This just says council estate hooker to me. In which case she has probably bumped that bike.
Fail.

If you read the small print, that's Hanka Kupfernagel and that's the Walser TT bike on which she won the 2007 World Championship.
