Bike porn

really porn?

Why not. Looks quite good to me.

IMO bikes like that ^ should be allowed to be over in the functional bieks thread. It's a nice bike, fit for purpose innit?

Not porn though because it features no huffalo hide chainstay protectors, titanium chainring bolts or ENVE seatclamps etc. And being a PX it's just too damn accessible.

If it's porn then that's "Naughty Housewives" from the newsagents down the road.

Nobody lusts after a PX - they just settle for one because they can't afford what they really want. A bit like marriage, really...

this book 'made in england' looks to be pretty tasty.

Novatec have replaceable races, they come in a convenient cartridge form along with the balls, inner races and seals. You can even select among competing manufacturers when replacement time comes, giving you multiple choices of bearing quality at various prices, instead of hoping tha DiaCompe keep making spares (indeed, are still in business) in decades' time when the bearing races on a track racing hub actually need replacement.

Have heard pretty good things about Novatec hubs a few times now, next time I'm thinking of building up some value workhorse wheels I'll give these a go.
Kinda wished I'd remembered them before I ordered a 105 front hub for current training wheels I'm building.

swedish balcony guy?

thats lovely - where's it from?

Literally stuck my neck out.

Bottom photo belongs here. The top photo; the rims are just too deep for my tastes.
Aesthetically though, a flatter stem, less spacers and higher radius drops would perfect that for me.

VumaChronos on track bikes ftw :-)
Not convinced that this crude adaptor is the way to go, though

i would not rob that cannondale.

It's mainstream Neil, don't you get it? mainstream.
