London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

^ Want!

how perfect is that bike?? here's me thinking that I would prefer to have internal gear until I saw that.

Just saw that pop up on his Flickr too, amazing bike

Bent seatposts,why?.Is there some reason for it?.

Layback isn't it? The straight thomson one is literally straight, unlike other seatpost that are straight but with a layback right at the clamp.

that's genius, Ed. Thanks.

:)

I'm re-posting this cos IT IS PORN

bleugh

Bleugh, and indeed, eww.

I now feel ashamed to say that I know you, that thing is rough as a badgers arse!

no

Seatstays & Chainstays.Looks like it's been made of scrap leftovers.Or the "acid kicked" in when the builder got to that stage.

Have you ever worked in a factory or on a production line? It's the same the world over, stop being a cock.

Massively porn-worthy:

Yeah same, very very nice.

Agreed. Whats the flickr address?

Oh just search fast boy cycles.

Such a nice bike. Have been thinking about building somthing like that but always worry that the chains going to be continously coming off. I suppose this bike proves me wrong as it desnt look like a thrown together job. Do you think youd have to use spercific chainset/derailleur/freewheel to make this work?

This is a little different, but from the other pics the guy has totally decked it out in period xtr, ringle, use etc. parts. I'm not sure but I think the forks were team issue jobs?

horrible

disgusting.

puke inducing

my eyes!!!! MY EYES!!!!

It's a nice bike. But it isn't porn.

Nope, that wishbones ugly. Frames this big just look out of proportion, the headtubes massive! There's actually so much wrong with that build.

big is beautiful

bmxconan, what the fuck are you on about, the bike looks perfect.

A headtube of that size doesn't look weird in the slightest.

And what's wrong with the "build"?

I actually think it's a lovely frame and build. But i don't think its porn worthy. Chain, steerer not cut, i dont particularly like the forks...

<REPOST ALERT>

he make some of the nicest bike ever, definitely one of those framebuilder who managed to make each one of their bike look unique;

look out of proportion? I can't see anything out of proportion, I rather like it, a straighforward build and design.

what else wrong with the build? wrong component for that era?

here here... so wrong on the sizing. ugly.

WTF? It was a custom build, designed specifically to his size. How is it 'wrong''?

Its not the sizing but the VALVE CAPS!!!

OMG I think he should be shot!

Since when everyone is trying to be me on Halloween? am I that scary?

Ed those are some lovely bikes, esp. the 1st one.

Not sure about the cranks - fugly IMO

the crankset are white industries, a very good crankset.

What a shower of tossers. What's a tall guy meant to do, get a frame that's too small and look like a frog on a matchbox?

Fucking short arse wankers. :p

I'm with you on the forks, I never noticed the steerer but your right. It's just my personal opinion so don't get all wtf but I just think it looks really dull for something that obviously costs a fortune. I'm not into mad anodised bits or powder coated deep v's but a little flash of personality is what that bike needs.

edscoble thats what all the pics you put up have in spades. I love the maglite bracket on the singlespeed with canti's. I made up a similar bracket when I was at high school.

good but still fugly.

Perfect? Certainly not.
As long as you put it in your livingroom maybe. Not if you want to use it as a commuting bike.
Can't ride it because no pedals
The chain will come off in the front
Street illegal, because no retroflectors/strips/etc to the sides
No lighting
rim brakes that eat your rims and brake blocks and make the bike terribly dirty
Derailleur system that is very maintenance-unfriendly
Rear carrier w/o straps, spring loaded "thing" or bags
So, in the end, it's just a piece of design. Nothing more.
But okay, there is uglier design.

This

Haha i'm 5'7"

It's not an attack on tall people, it's just a proportion thing. Frames over 62cm st rarely look good to me

Yeah but you're definitely a short arse wanker, Graham. :p

It would be really stupid to cut the steerer tube more before the first ride.
You can see that there is a spacer on the top of the stem, almost nother underneath.
Probably he measured that the stem and bars are at the correct position not, but it's clever to leave at least 1 cm extra (with a spacer), so if it feels too deep when riding, it can still mounted a bit higher.

I think it's the angle of the pic but that BURLS defo looks odd - the HT's over half the length of the forks ffs!

Double sided pedals on a track bike = fail
