It's an interesting point about how certain aspect are porn worthy in our eyes, for some the appearance of a lovely bicycles gee us with excitement, everything sync with each other, all the component colour matched, the paintjob a lovely shade of , etc.
But for some, a very ugly bike with odd number of spacers, misaligned rack, tiny MTB wheel, weird handlebar set-up (like the butterfly bar) ugly nodder-friendly pannier etc. excited them because of what the bike can take you elsewhere that a track or even road bike can't.
To me, this is porn worthy;
Because it enable me to explore the world;
Ho-ren-dous! does cycling weekly have a forum? Porn is supposed to be sexy... Stipped back sexy bikes, Be it road, track or even the occasional mountain bike... Thats like looking at a porn star who has just won an advertising contract with The North Face!

Checked with the assistant manager on Friday, They are going to open the gate and we can take our bikes right into the courtyard and lock them up by where they have the pig roast! Even said they would put some nibbles on!! Didnt know if that would be too decadent for a bunch of crankmashers though!!

What the Dubmasters been up too lately.
Thought I would update this a little, My fllet has grown significantly of late yet I seem to have less bikes to ride! :-(My Olmo Is still at Mercian....
Turned out the previous builder had not done such a great job converting it to single speed and I had to have the Downtube replaced!
Still Im eagerly awaiting its return which should be mid march, Though they did say she was going into the spray booth after the framebuilding work, So I might see here home before then!
Alas Im left with no single speed bike to bomb around on!
Im trying to get this bike finished for BHX Beers so I dont feel like A faker!loking good waitin for some stuff to come through the post, Would have bought from my LBS but they take the piss, ordered a head set and bottom braket from e Bay for less than Pro bike wanted for a headset alone!!
Sadly on tuesday night I took a bit of a tumble on my geared Peugeot,
Messed up my shoulder and knee (Though it doesnt hurt when i ride!) but also messed up the rear mech hanger on the frame, Now many people have commented on the condition of this bike and I promissed i wouldnt mess with it till it broke!It was getting messed up on my daily commute and now the gears dont work! Sooo..
I always had a plan for this bike so now its time to do the conversion I planned.
However I was now left with no road bike to get to work on, And two days on my mountian bike made me want to quit cycling I needed a beater bike!!This is le Rat, I dunno why... I dont even know if it french! But it was free!
Here it is in its natural habitat hanging round some bins.
At least I dont have to worry about it getting nicked!
Im after some risers and a rack for it if anyone has some?Now I have my garage empty i filled it all back up!
The dubmasters workshop!!!

I would have thought the name of the thread would have INSINUATED we were all wanking over bikes, But I imagine that is hardly the case.... And if I was your spacer stack and bogs with see through map pockets just gave me a big floppy one.
