Looks like Andel/Zenith to me. (The crankset, that is)

nice. news to me.

Here is my first ever build. Its a Graham Weigh 531 frame, wheels are from Varno and other bits were sourced through classifieds on here

More photos here if you are interested http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomkidd/sets/72157626558839872/

what cranks are those? they look brand new.

paper twins

it peels off in minuscule slivers that get stuck in your nails. Then you give up after literally 5 minutes of just trying to get a piece that doesn't rip.

problem?

Constant downhill turned up to 11

dudes stop debating the geometry. the fucking bike isn't level in the photo. look at the distance the wheels are from the edge of the photo. even the shadow in the back drop is angled.

no idea why they did that.

NICE!!! Wow. Nice bike dude.

Not sure where to post this but i thought it was worth sharing ...

just got this black reflective sticker sheet from wiggle, plan to put it on my black frame, rims and any bits n bobs i can put it on, bloody impressed by its magicleness, i can actually stand in one place in my room under my light and moove around and see it change before my very eyes, trippy stuff

don't do it. seems like a good idea at first. then you start seeing it whenever you look at the bike and it annoys you. shit doesn't come off.

if i see that green monstrosity again i'm gonna be upset.

thats unrideable.

double pivots give you more power.

some brakes give you more bling.

I fucking hate this guy. I wish this video wasn't so well made because then I wouldn't have watched it all the way through and subsequently wanted to squeeze my own head into dust with the unbelievable pretentiousness and arrogance of it all.

"Look! We're wearing loads of chains IRONICALLY ha ha ha we're so subversive"

"I've got a jewel studded bong because I'm a massive stoner and proud of this unexceptional fact and I want everyone to know about how edgy I am"

helluva a lot of writing.

song was good.

Semi clips? Wut?

They're SPD-R's. Metal cleats and you can wind the tension up so that you can't get your foot out if you really want. A few sprinters swear by them

i see now. in 25 years of staring at bikes, I've never seen those interesting. learn something new every few days.

Exactly - there is a long list of detail differences between the two frames, hence my wondering where you found the first one. Could be a prototype/pre-production model, could even be a total fake.

i'm not so interested, but the one confusing you has a name written on the seat collar area. may help you. i dunno.

Pedals are fine.

i've never ridden those types of semi clips. are they even remotely effective?

was lighthearted folks. not meant to offend.

Can't find a thread to read so reluctantly forced to start one.

Why do you sing while you're out riding?

I generally sing to myself, a mix of silently to myself and out loud, occasionally at full volume but usually kind of low volume. I guess I do it as it sets a cadence or something, or is Pavlovian... I don't set out to sing, it just kind of happens.

Songs I can't stop singing include -

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box (chorus only, and I don't like the band or the song but it seems to be stuck in my head EVERY time I get on a bike).
Some song I wrote myself (years ago when I used to be a stoner) about Spanish MILFs & acid.
Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue.
Eek-A-Mouse - Schoolboy (also used to sing this when dancing on the spot trying to get a hitch back in my hitch-hiking days).

No idea why they are stuck in my head, especially the Nirvana, but I'm willing to bet I sing at least one of them every single day while on the bike.

Why do you sing while cycling?

commuter porn?

what is this? i can't quite make out the lettering. it's not bilenky? rubs eyes is it? super nice looking

80% chance of rain

nice vitus, pedals need done. but nice.

what ratio is that? looks oddly low

it's a 35.7x4^-2. wweird i know.

i want one

ed get a mud flap for the front.

before i put my computer in any bag i shove it in a protective heavy duty foam sleeve. any other way is stupid.

bad puns bad thread
