your words not mine

You see this type of fg/ss in Amsterdam; cheap Asian imports with components to match. I prefer the blokes that take the trouble to convert an old steel frameset (lots of those around here), whatever the esthetics of the outcome.

As usual, after a few years the market turns to cheap imitations of the original fad; there are a few shops here that have them at appr eur 500 apiece.

this is HOT

Yeah, that's right. I once swallowed a lump of wasabi. Very hot. Ugly sight.

Doh

Well let's just say it's a good studio picture of a beautiful bike, which apart from the hammerite finish is in essence traditional in every aspect though expertly crafted (if you like tig welding; I prefer lugless or lugged soldering, but that's a personal thing).

Actually a pic of an Alberto Masi (not the Californian branch; possibly the tube over lug variety) or Ben Serotta steel frame (early nineties preferably) would be more attractive to me.

Again, that's just personal, but maybe someone could oblige. :-)

The name Daniel Gisiger springs to mind. Don't know why though; probably wasn't an Assos...

oh boy...
you have to learn a lot

Are you implying I haven't seen a Pegoretti before? LoL!

Well, not to put you too brusquely in touch with LFGSS, we have a thread for showing off your own bikes, and this ain't it. You're never going to make any friends here if you keep telling us how much we suck compared with other places, either.

Thanks for pointing it out (I'm serious).

That's actually quite beautiful (a beautiful quite ordinary racing bike that is). Not yours I expect, but lifted from a brochure? :-)

Even without rules, just having some taste and a little modesty would have stopped you posting that here.

Well, not to put you too brusquely in touch with the real world, but there are communities out there where people are not ticked off for showing some pride in what they have.

It's a matter of both good manners and taste, I suppose.

no porn, sorry
and please dont put your onw bikes in here

I was never a rule reader, and couldn't find this particular one. Thanks for pointing it out.

1. this is your own bike you posted here.
   
2. def not porn
   sorry
   
   

That's allright; to be expected here. I've have owned and have still got a few Roberts's .

Read the fucking rules and guidelines

Do the rules say something about looking carefully before spouting off at the mouth?

did you just post your bike that you are trying to sell in the porn thread?

Of course not guv, put your glasses on (and put the glass down) or take a closer look. Observant are you?

This one's not for sale. Why would that matter anyway?

Oh no I'm not taking it personally. :)
I like the frame and all it entails...

It's certainly special looking!

Classy.

Roberts conversion

SOLD. Thanks Mr Smyth. Very nice frame! Treat it well.

Hi folks.

Selling my Bianchi Pista Via Condotti 2010. Only a few months old. Size 56.

Really lovely bike but I've finished another build and am flat broke so I'm letting this go. It was used sparingly as a commuter bike and as such is in great condition.

Swapped the drops for risers and added a Goldfinger and new Oury's. Everything else stock.

Cost me £650 a couple of months ago. Would like somewhere in the region of £350-£400. I think this is reasonable.

Collection only from Ball's Pond Road N1. Would like to send this to a good home but time is of the essence so if it doesn't sell in the next couple of days it'll be eBay or Gumtree or something.

Thanks!

Really lovely bike; not a fan of those front forks though. Still, compliments and hope you sell it soon!

^ useful... if you speak dutch.

Useful thread that... :-)

Theye were actually quite well known in the '70's and '80's, and didn't make their own frames as far as I know. My brother might know who did; probably different Belgian and sometimes Italian framebuilders. Colnago used to hire framebuilders when demand was high and fire them when demand was low; then they sometimes did work for others, such as Cornelo. I'm not judging this frame at all (it looks good) but sometimes that sort of contractor work looked like rush jobs.

Clear coated.

Happy to oblige...

Your first remark seem to imply that you know (much) more then others, but I didn't think you had a problem sharing that knowledge. O, well....

Why does everything has to be so difficult with you? This mistery act doesn't really add anything to your image....

You seem to be a bright guy... figure it out yourself.

Why don't you crawl back to the pub you just came from? Oh, sorry, they must be closing now...

Not really. Put some effort into it. You can do it.

That's a useful contribution.
