Ooh, that's so bad... Pity, I generally find belt-driven bikes strangely alluring.

It's how I learnt, 800 pages of reading later and possibly only one repost from me.

I've read it all, porn + anti, too, and still posted the Pengy there, unaware. Ignorance is bliss.

Did we have this yet?

Maybe it's a shit concept, I don't know, but I don't think it looks bad.

Ok, apart from the single-bladed fork which is far from looking good.

Count me in, please.

I don't remember seeing this earlier in the thread
baby blue + pink

Pretty sure I've seen it here already, but it's just ridiculous enough to be worth reposting.

About half a year ago, I'm rehearsing with my band, so have the mobile on mute. But while having a break, I notice 4 missed calls from the missus. She knows I'm busy, so must be important. Calling her back, she says that a fucking taxi reversed onto her! I ask if she's ok, she says yeah, but I know she might be in shock, concussion, terrible images rushing through my head... Admittedly, she is a bit happy-go-lucky, so I'm always sorta' worried about her riding in traffic. Blood rushed to my head, that was a huge OH SHIT moment, I tell you. Knowing I'm miles from her, and couldn't be there sooner than 15 mins, and that only with light traffic and RLJing so can't do much anyways. She's crying over the phone, saying the cabbie gave her some verbal and also keeps asking if that's not her fault and if I'm not angry at her. That's probably because I used to scold her for not being observant and careful enough while riding. So I had to really make sure and ask a million times whether she's hurt and comfort her.
Later, when she calmed down, it turned out she was waiting behind that taxi on a right turn-only lane at a red light, when the driver suddenly started reversing (apparently to let a hooker off [sic!]), first slowly, so she was trying to get out of the way, but then the fucker accelerated into her front wheel. Must've seen her in the rear view mirror directly behind him when reversing in broad daylight, but still kept going on. She burst into tears, some other hookers (yup...) kept shouting "the fuck are you doing, there's a cyclist behind you!" and actually got into an argument with the passenger, who then also shouted at my gf some bullshit about her supposedly being on the wrong side of the road or some similar.
Fortunately, she was 100% intact, only I had to replace the bent stem (a very long one - Dutch bike).

Probably sounds pretty trivial, but I swear I was so fucking angry and scared at once. An "oh shit oh fuck oh shit oh jesus wtf" moment.

Trying to finish a fully tri color-equipped build atm and I sure hope it will look at least as stunning as this one. Good luck with the sale!

Why, with that headtube it's like a Dutch-style Oma track bike. Just put on some chromed steel handlebar, stainless mudguards, heavy rear rack and it's ready to roll around Amsterdam. Oh yeah, and wicker basket.

How much you'll be asking? I don't have a bag for trade but I'm after one

Yeah, in your face! Insult a Polish frame builder, will ya? Wankers, seriously!*

*not seriously

I'm guessing painting on World Champion stripes and medal logos like fighter kills is as close to boasting as it gets. What's wrong with that?

So much for my carefully-conceived analogy! My point was (meant to be) that prosthetic limbs tend to look less than attractive. Have to admit, though, this one must look infinitely pro on some hi-tech modern track bike.

...which doesn't make the aerospok'd Peugeot any less anti, btw

Strange thing...

I bet it rides great, but showing it off (at vs) is like boasting about having a prosthetic leg.

yahou,

Oh yes, and your mom, too. (not really)

my eyes!


oh, and in case you're anti- kind a guy, here's a linky for you - only a grand and it's yours!

What, obviously it's anti to the core, at least in the sense it prevails in here. But it's far from being 'repulsive' or 'disgusting', or whatever. Just put the right size front wheel in to make it rideable (nothing to do with 'raceable', of course) and it's a nice ride for strolling around town on a sunny afternoon. Doesn't even smack of hipster so much, imho. There, I said it. Oh yeah, only the stickers on rims are annoying.

needs porteurs and a basket.

Here, has a basket, porteurs in it. Actually, it's just one.

what, her?

She's actually pretty hot.

BTW
I think the bike with round fork is a work in progress. When finished, It'll look more or less like this:

Hey, second didbs on (51) SHIMANO 600 7-SPEED SHIFTERS for braze-on complete with cables Excellent £12 and (47) SHIMANO 600 ULTEGRA 6401 7/8speed TRICOLOUR REAR GEAR Excellent £21 OR
(48) SHIMANO 600 ULTEGRA 6401 7/8speed TRICOLOUR REAR GEAR Very good £19 depending on whether either is still available.

PM coming!

Meh, wrap the 'bar in some nice black tape and I'd ride it and love it (still far from porn, ofc).

This world (and thread) is going downhill etc. They just don't do anti-porn like they used to...

Ignoring the lack of bar tape

Would make this thing nearly perfect, though. Nearly, because the chrome on lugs somehow doesn't fit, I dunno.

ROSSIN DOMINATOR by CHUNKS!, on Flickr

Anybody know what stem this is? Any good and/or valuable? Because it looks sorta' scheisse.

Works fine in Chromium on Linux if that's of any help.

Can I have some pics of the saddle, plz? PM will follow

Strictly in a straight line, I presume.

Ok, but does it barspin?!

Toe overlaps...
:-P

TOE overlaps? Pedal overlap more likely. How the hell does one ride it?

very very sexy time:http://static.lfgss.com/attachments/36191d1297705117-l1090296.jpg

Nice, but the Omega front wheel doesn't really fit, does it?
