haha i find all this stuff interesting, always good to learn more about bike geometry and its effects.....

bike is almost done, just needs wheelset and look keo pedals.

going to pick up the wheels today!

People gotta know your sled is more exclusive and custom than theirs. I reckon it's all about integrated 1 piece seatpost/ 1 piece stem and riser combos for 2012.

funny you should say that, im in discussion with a framebuilder at the minute about building a frame with integrated seatpost, shits gonna be real ;)

good session today like. the new court is schaweeeet.

i had a raleigh street wolf. wish my mum had kept it when i left home :'(

awesome thread, wish there were more reincarnations of les to look at!

spotted over at the brother cycles blog -

hahaha nobody needs to see that monster.

next part arrived today -

Italy v england? Good match. Been in cumbria on a road bike lads, aye il be rep, in for thursday provided weather issent shite...

I realised my comment is pretty vague.

its the first step, acknowledgement. well done ed.

The truth of the matter is that cheap 4130 Cr Mo is plenty strong enough for a track frame, and making it in ⅛" over the old 1930s standard tube diameters will make it stiff enough for anybody who can't put out over 2kW in a sprint. The thing that nobody has ever got close to with steel is combining stiffness and aerodynamics to the degree that carbon fibre frame makers can, which is why all elite track riders use carbon fibre frames.

If you actually think those 'teardrop' 853 tubes represent any kind of aerodynamic benefit over round tubes, you need to go back to aerodynamics school too. For all your bluster about 20 years of genuine technological advances being all marketing, the actual facts point to so-called 'aero' steel tubing being the thing which has the greatest excess of hype over substance.

haha you are such a loser. chill out.

no one cares luke.

might have some open prisons in the spare parts box.....

Hi guys, my esb, been riding it a lot past days. We have lots of snow here in Helsinki. I've a studded front tyre on my gangsta for icy roads, but fire crosses on this are great for snow. Didn't actually buy this for winter bike, but wanted to try it out. I'm liking it more and more, did a nearly 3 hours ride in our central park this weekend -18 deg. Great bike and I really like the raw frame.

repped to fuck for this.

go for the ellipses, cheap, light(ish), replaceable. my mate has a set, well pretty.

What a great story, and a great man.
