Has anyone managed to find out the weight of the nelson yet? I'm curious as i'm getting one in a few days.

I'm building one up right now. I weighed the frame but forgot the exact numbers. I have a 54cm and it was something a bit higher than 1,5.. Maybe 1,6. Didn't weigh the forks though.
Actually it amazed me for weeks how light the bike with wheels is (no cranks etc.).

Oh and actually I was amazed how clean the welds on this frame look. Very nice craftmansship (even though it's just taiwanese AL) for the price you pay.

All props to the physical effort of getting up and down the thing, but why not just mount a brake, actually enjoy the downhill and save your knees for the time after your mid 30s?

Challenge, I might think.

I'm wondering why nobody noticed the prototype carbon frame. Too focused on what kind of shorts he wears?

However I agree that there are a lot of boring and maybe even embarassing videos of people doing longer rides/hills. Not everything should be put up on the internet.

I don't think anyone hates it.
It's just that these aesthetics saturated the cycling culture recently to the point it's become ironic.

Most of these videos and photos are made by people that study photodesign or film, artsy stuff. And this is the style they apply...
I guess if it was just plain and simple filmed (like the videos of the guy riding parts of the tour de france fixed)they would be too boring for the masses.

For me this video motivates me to ride my bike and climb a hill.

As far as I know Patrick Seabase was a sponsored track rider once and also did "gorilla" bicycles.
He has a shop and also climbed some other mountains, rode across australia fixed and does a lot for the fixed gear culture in switzerland.. So in my books it's all good.
Also I liked the aesthetic of the video. there's another motorpace video that a lot of you guys on here will hate on.

Would also be interested in the 110 thomson, would need it posted to germany though.
Can't pm now. Got a 90mm for sale if it works out.

Mentioning frame size could help selling this.
