The paintjob isn't for me, but I love the frame. It must be huge.

Mikey_Mike · 29th December 2009

well put together, but that paintjob is utterly rank!

maxcrowe · 29th December 2009

It was a custom frame so the owner probably really likes it.

wow that one looks even better
though not too much of the track stuff, not yet ready to return to gears...

Close to where I live.
Lot of stuff is sold already.
Not really collected stuff, but goods you can buy "daily" on Marktplaats. Not exactly what you call a bargain.

You better visit oldcampy, he's just 10 miles away from this guy, has a much better collection and also sells some bikes/frames. Also not cheap tho'...

scorch · 30th December 2009

i apologize for probably asking something obvious, but what and where this Marktplaats is?.. thanks

soperRiva · 30th December 2009

think of it as Ebay for the Netherlands.]

actually a bit more like gumtree. i guess.
but there are bids.

well its sort of eBatrelist, for the Netherlands.

Yes that was me, i took the prototype i have on loan into Condor for them to check it out.. its also the only bike ive had where people stop me and ask about it.

The Condor one is a later model to the one i have and is lighter and stiffer.
It's not NJS approved though even though it came from Kalavinka, only the lugged steel frames can obtain that status.

crofty.

you would think they'd get the chain tension right on a bike like that

The owner used it on the track, that's why the chain tension is spot on.

TheCrane · 30th December 2009

@ADT thats pretty schwingin'

rembrandt · 30th December 2009

well i should hope so, seems a bit ott for a commuter, I always assumed you'd want a nice taught chain on the track though, what do you gain from a bit of slack?

Pifko · 30th December 2009

Urghh...

Backlash.

People claim that it provides smoother ride/less friction/longer bearing life/less drive train wear, but anybody who has seen how slack the bottom run of even a tight chain is under power will realise that this is irrelevant unless you're only concerned about the above mentioned factors during the small amount of time when you're soft pedalling.

That Serotta and Zipp thang is Bike Candy...! Almost lickable..!

Looks like it is on the road to me, and have seen it pictured with rider on the road. I wouldn't want chain tension like that on a brakeless bike but guess the owner likes it (and has smooth roads!)

its blb but still a nice frame

maxcrowe · 31st December 2009

You say that like BLB is a negative thing?

mdcc_tester · 31st December 2009

If that's a new build, it's anti-porn. We learned more than a decade ago that the way to build a lo pro is with a horizontal top tube and a long seat post, borrowed from MTBs

edscoble · 31st December 2009

expect you and I know too well it's never going to be used as a time trial bike, just a sit-up-and-beg-fixie-skidder for rich kids.

the lugs is pretty nice thought;
