London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

NO! I love those Hetchins! I hope I wake up soon from this nightmare.

Saw it in the FGL set from eurobike.
WTF?

Althought I love to hear a reason behind this, but then it's probably like this locomotive that claim to be faster and more effecitive, the Holman Horror;

it must feel like a twat next to that beaut with disc. Although the forks are sexy, shame about everything else.

haha i saw that article in CW, it's almost like they've only just come across fixed gear.

To give shorter chainstays, for handling?
Maybe, idunnoreally, looks poo.

lol

Apart from the massive pedal strike that looks like great fun!

I've got a straight stayed track Hetchins, and my dad has a curly made within 6 months of each other in 1960 and almost exactly the same size. The curly feels as stiff as mine, but it does feel like there is more give when going over uneven roads, like its slightly suspended, its very subtle though.

The Hetchins you posted is brand new build would look nicer with less logos on the components, though a bit on the expensive side at just under a thousand quid, still its a custom hand built frame. Those curly lugs can't be cheap!

^Thanks for that - I always wondered.

I know its new, but still - why would you drop a grand on a Hetchins and then put that a-head combo, etc on it.... and I don't care what anyone says about practicality - if it was all about practicality we'd be riding hybrids, and that hetchin just looks gash.

I'm with you on the ahead set and other ugly massively branded components. A nice cinelli quill stem and a nice campag groupset and it would look great.

FGG is just so full of anti-porn...this one struck me as particularly pengy:

haha I would love to see the owner ride that shit, long arms straight out in front off him!

"Your bike sucks"

O RLY?

I dont think it was the owner that put that there :)

Sad

^last one was much better before

"sad"??

More like tragic.

To be fair to the owner of the Schwinn, I can only assume he's blind, poor bastard.

Just goes to show . . .you can't polish a turd!

...but you can roll it in glitter!!!

[I've waiting to say that for ages]

What the ...?

that's AWFUL.

You could drive a bus through those clearances.

Tasteful use of purple crankset at least...
*ducks*

Reminds me of this Gitane from 1976, not original forks.

I find it funny that more than half of the bike in the fGG are not finished, you can tell that the owner of the bike hasn't finish it when he hasn't got a brake on let alone foot retention and talk about how awesome it is to ride it.

quite like that.

Is it the codeine the doctors are giving me or the recent finds look more and more like friggin' Frankencycles?

Oi! I've been waiting as long as you for that!

Damn why did you have to put my christmas bike up so early Ash?

Haha! Gayer ;)

It's his signature that does my head in: "What ever your Hussel, keep it Premium"

*squawks in terror* What the BLIND F*CK!?!?!

change the bar/stem, get rid of the front wheel for something less peng
and id probably own it

Zombie bike? Looks like a ghost returning from the dead. Not quite anti, but all white on the back end of a dirt bike isn't very sensible.

That's the 26" PK Ripper!

Terrible paintjob but I'd have one in a heartbeat (if it was all black)

Fixed!

that GT with the 3 and 5-spoke wheels is downright ghastly.

they have teamed up with some crappy American clothing company for this design. Its foul!

Newby here............ this is my old time trial bike which I have owned for 50 years ... picture attached if I understood the system corectly.

Ok, firstly welcome JDS.

Secondly, you are looking for the Names & Faces thread.

This is ANTI PORN, where we post bikes that have been put together in hideous ways.

Names & Faces is HERE

Enjoy!

That's a flying gate isn't it? certainly not anti porn!

I know. It's a great frame!

One tiny point though (and not being patronizing so please forgive me) but it's probably not the best idea to photograph you bike against the same colour background as your frame. It's doing it no justice! :)

the bike is covered in self-adhesive film with a veneer pattern... go figure
