Nope, keep guessin'

Guess the car.

Hell fuckin' YEAH this is 'Murica! We take this racin' shit SERIOUS!

Ah, gotcha Ed :)

I guess when people buy CX bicycle, they almost never intend to race on them.
What? Have you watched any Cyclocross?
It's full of all kinds of bikes, from 'purpose-built race rig' to 'beater'. What it isn't full of is fucking twats saying, "No sorry, you can't enter this race, your frameset has bottle-cage bosses."Who's this?
Oh look, it's Professional Cyclocross racer Julie Krasniak competing in a sanctioned UCI Cyclocross race on her Team-issue Focus Rapha Cyclocross race bike.
Hello, what are those bosses on her seat-tube?
Later that night...

the proper CX bikes
CX race only bikes, perhaps. Even then, not an absolute rule.
The rest of us can feel free to throw on some 28s and fuck off up into the mountains on tarmac, taking in the odd trail if we like. Whilst hydrated.
I asked Sean (the owner) about his Cielo, and he said...
"The Cielo is the stand out nicest bicycle I have ever owned. It can easily replace a road bike. Make it whatever you want it to be (its just a tire swap away from road dirt or both!)" -
They're for cages, which hold Bidons.
Bro do you even
For fuck's sake, it truly is Pendant's Corner round here at the mo.
It's not custom, Cielo clearly list their geo on their site.
The owner rides it on dirt, mud, grass, gravel, tarmac, the lot.
I don't know if he's raced it yet.
It's called a Cross Racer, has a Cross groupset, Cantis and Cross tyres on it.
It's a fucking Cross bike. -
that's not really a CX bike.
Erm...
Purpose-built to tackle the rigorous conditions of the wet, cold, and muddy *cyclocros*s races of the Pacific Northwest, our Cross Racer and Cross Racer Disc models are no-holds-barred cyclocross-racing dynamos.
Designed from the ground up with a race proven geometry and a spartan layout the Cross Racer and the Cross Racer Disc feature a 2-degree sloping top tube, and aggressive bottom bracket height. -
^Hands-down the coolest car ever to appear on SpeedHunters. Amazing.
-
It's a good job they've planned a fuckton more tall bits of shiny shit for London, eh?
-
I'm guessing that's to come. After all, I see fuck-all room for cooling in there at present.
-
That SL reminds me of this amazing roadster by Mechatronik.
The engine in ^that is rumoured to be a 3.6-litre M104.

Found on Tumblr. Anyone on here?
-
Take the shifter off, open it up, realise it's the problem, go buy a new one. And buy a new cable too (inner and outer) unless it comes with one.
If a job's worth doing, etc. -
I think 'Dales are worth good parts. Not everybody agrees.
-
Possibly a bit tight to the tyre. Obviously the pads tip downwards when brake is applied.
Epic bike though, I love it.
-
I may have posted this before, but...
-
I know it's nothing new, but still, the vast amount of sheet metal work and fabrication on that project astounds me.
Me too. The concept isn't up my street at all, but I have to admire the attention to detail and general high standard. Makes bicycle framebuilding look like child's play tbh.
Could possibly be done with £10k worth of bits, but the tools, knowledge, skill and time are worth a hell of a lot more than that.

Incredibly, yes.
This Kia clone is what now passes for a fucking MASERATI.
Car design is dead. It's like there's one software package, no plug-ins and nobody can be arsed to write any new code. Upsetting.
