The only ones I found on the net were these bruns ones...
This is what I meant about shit photos:
WTF - how on earth do you expect someone to buy one with a photo like that! -
^ good idea (altho decent pics on seem hard to come by).
The only thing that puts me off about those is that the tyres touch the wall, where as the bin lids look like they'd minimise mess.
EDIT: ok there's a good one...whats freaking me out is why my bike is on your wall :s
-
If you're short on space and want a way to hang your bikes on the wall in your house so they're easily accessible?
-
^ cheers.
£60. Can't help but think if they were £40 everyone would have one.
-
...
A friend of mine has this one http://s5.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/590F27EA.jpg which works ok but I always find it a bit too flashy.
...Anyone know how much they cost or what they're called?
-
well rusty 27's but its as good as nothing
Whats wrong with the wheels? loadsa life left in those tyres...

I hate the way everytime someone trys to make a bit of extra cash by adding a couple of bips to the price, everyone rags on them. -
In fairness the parts make it a bit more than a battered old conversion.... and he is open to offers ;)
-
^^I'm not a fan of the lugs with a sloping tt either.
As for dropping that kind of cash on componants for a steel frame...meh..., but the £200 comparison is a bit rubbish when those rims are how much?
-
^ from here: http://superbbicycle.com/category/custom-build/page/2/ - I agree not my choice on the bits either, but mos def works.
Think they said $1K (USD) for the frame - which strangely sounds like good value :S
-
Fair point on it actually being a more modern looking frame than prolly first thought.
But on the faux vintage up thing... I don't think you do. But aesthetically you should go with what flows and complements - imo those parts don't - loud garish graphics on the componants with a plain frame for eg.

You mean the fork that comes with the new frame is lighter/different from the clusterfork right?
I had no luck googling "new gansta track fork" so tried "clusterfork" after jv's post. Does it look the same?
-
Cha ching! BMW just posted up their new Clusterfork. With better clearances, weight and price, the new ones will fly off the shelves I'm sure. The photo is taken with a 40c tire and with the 410mm atc, you should be able to fit at least a 48c. Combined with a 32mm rake, the new Clusterfork will barspin on just about any frame with a 1 1/8" steerer. What's the weight? 1180 grams. Not bad! All for $150
Check out all the details and more photos at the Brooklyn Machine Works blog. -
repped.
-
Got to say that I prefer the old dropouts, but overall I think the new one (haven't seen the forks tho) looks a tiny bit better.
Essentially they are visually the same.
Can you still get the old fork? And are the prices going to be a bit more reasonable? - they're being produced abroad right?
-
Must say I prefer the first but it's still rad.
POW!
Not sure I see much difference. Stays and dropouts?goes to search for more pics
-
Just been having a quick browse of the Passoni site. Can't copy the images tho.
Got to be some of the sweetest looking ti work. Just love the way the lines of the joins on the headtube flow: http://www.passoni.com/popup_foto.asp?id=9&tipo=d
-
^ unfortunately its too big for me.
If I got it tho, I have to say I'd just get it rolling and leaving the pattina.
-
^ for what its worth, those clamp-ons never seem to look great in photos, but in the flesh I think they look fine.
-
^^^ imo that orange bike is an eg of how not to combine a classicly-styled steel frame with modern componants.
-
Shit grip? Sounds like shit tyres - search for the tyres list thread.
i don't jump kerbs and i don't 'thrash' my bike. I know everyone's gushing over huge tyres at the mo, but i think its just a bit like the craze for bulletproof 36h wheelsets - ott for 99%.
imo 25c is the perfect balance between speed and comfort. I love the refuse, bc of the grip and puncture resistance (but thats just my preference). If you like a bigger tyre go for 28c. I think randos can go to a high pressure. Search and you'll find out.
-
^ what does that mean?
anywhere inbetween 23-28c is fine for london. Lots of ppl on here run 28c vittoria randoners. I use* 25c maxxis refuse.
*actually I don't because I still haven't got around to putting them on my new wheels.
EDIT: oh and for what its work the boston looks pretty good imo
-
If I did not have so much bicycles already and if it was a couple of centimeters bigger, I would be terribly tempted by this... lovely luggs!

Sounds like a good price. If you can, test ride it and see which you prefer. Otherwise, if you've got the cash buy it and sell it on if you don't get on with it, pretty sure someone will take it for a similar price.
