Favourite Forum Bikes

@Dammit 's first Serotta was very good

MTB's are cool.

I am probably most envious of dammit's Jibb, Madonna, Yalla trinity. They would be rowdier with fox sus though.

Gravel bikes are trash though, and largely responsible for the demise of this forum, despite what anyone says about Ofcom and the OSA.

@toby.d matching Ti GT track and road bike

Apt-get Hulsroy’s hustle -bikes

cant decide between these two...

Both also have great cp threads!

@malandro 's bike. Although I'm struggling to find an image of it. Blueish one with deep, deep rims.

Another one from @Skant

This. Every day. Twice on a Sunday.

Honourable mention to @spinnnout's collection of Fairlights (although, that might just be because I want one).

must be the later, they're not worthy of here :D

this from Elpolo is in the list of best..

Such a banger.

This is excellent.

What's the cantilever thingybob? And why is the front mech cable trying to escape?

its a "power hanger":

they are fiddly to set up but can work well, especially on bikes with long head tubes

And this is why gravel chat must never migrate to discord

all MTB/gravel bikes are ugly

Complete nonsense, as I've come to both expect and almost appreciate

Cheers.

So it's a bit like a fork mounted hanger, but cooler looking.

What are the downsides? Do they work equally well with short headtubes?

I always liked @b0n0rv2 rat bikes.
This is my all time favourite though, I keep forgetting who it belongs to... I believe @Tychom

Strong contender. In a similar vein this always stood out for me, can't believe it's been 7 years since it was finished.

This is up there

He said these pedals were too much but @6pt is very occasionally wrong

He was wrong.

so so good

Eyebrow’s tartan thing

This is peak classic rim bicycle. 9000 was the finest mechanical group and the last before shifters adopted ugly mountain bike designs.
The clean simple design with fine details on the frame is the cherry on top.
