Love the forks

Just tried to do something similar to this on a flat piece of paper. I have so much respect for people who do that for a living.

haha i did the exact same...so hard. I've seen some videos of it being done on a rolls royce, perfectly straight around the whole car, amazing!

I didn't realise droughts could occur in the world of bike porn, but this is most certainly a drought.

those bars look like sandpaper...sexy though

And the top one's pink

plus:

• different shaped drop outs
  

^very true

• different shaped forks
  
• different shaped triangle between main tubes
  
• different shaped down tube, circular vs. oval
  

c'mon liam, you can do better than that...

Lovely man, all i can say is can you please rotate the chainring clockwise one bolt, it then lines up nicely with the cranks (the zen logo i mean) and looks niccee, probably a bit ocd for most, but it looks nicer i think

I think it must be you... it's definately not going anywhere...

Cool, just checkin

Next step is to get the forks drilled/get new forks,
add a 105 front caliper and change the cockpit
to a 3ttt pro chrome corsa and Bontrager SSR
VR-C road drops with old Shimano SLR levers.

Nice, does it look as if that headset's a bit loose or is that just me?

Not a paint job. It is copper, with some premature ageing.

Though anyone with a keen eye will have noticed the patch visible in the Thomson stem that was missed.

I did in fact notice the patch revealed by the stem, but that was more copper-y looking, where as the body of the frame is more obscure, most've been lovely in the flesh.

As for the track ends, they look bizarre to say the least, different though.

And I agree with brooks/formation face, strange combo, but in by the looks of it 75% of all bikes there where donned with a brooks!

This is stunning, strange paint job though

I see, that also explains why they have Rapha neatly written on them all, another mystery to me, I really should've gone, I'm angry now

No need to apologise. I think the answer's been covered now, but yeah, basically because it used a 10mm pitch, any given ratio looks smaller than the usual half-inch pitch. The idea was to save weight as all the parts are smaller.

What I meant was that literally every time a picture of it is posted, someone pipes up to comment on the 'lame' gearing. Same thing now with the EC90 track bars that have the grippy finish on the lower part. Which was my original snarky/dumb/convoluted point.

Cheers fellas, knew I'd find a comprehensive answer on here, I always wondered why some people ran really small looking ratios, makes sense if you're worried about weigh though. Bars IMHO look better tapped anyway, and you don't have to explain ti everyone that you're not trying to look hipster!

It is a fucking show stealer, absolutely amazing! Any ideas why all the rodies had the same maroonish headset/bb?

They're all absolutely beautiful, funny how every one is built using a brooks saddle!

The most irritating situation, to know some prick is wandering around with your saddle...fuckers! The thing with brooks saddles is that try will get stolen at some point if left somewhere in London, especially if you're locking it up everyday. On a different note both of demons bikes at bespoke bristol, on of which won best track bike, where fully kitted out with atomic22 bolts, and it looks the business, obviously the beautiful frame contributes to that aswell!!

It's more te second part of the question that I couldn't fine the answer to. But my most humble apologies in any case.

Fair point, no point in spending money where it's not due! The bike looks tighter with the new chain length, bravo. Only other thing to do as mentioned is to sand the forks, but no biggie really...noice

Dumb question, but what the fook is a dura ace 10 chain (is it refering to it being a 10 speed chain?) and how does that increase it's gear ratio in any way, apologies in advance

No they have a mark on the tool and key so it's super easy to orientate correctly. They also look great and are really discrete, if you really value your saddle, if it's a brooks or something which needs to wear in, these are the best thing to keep them safe!

Hey all, really sorry for all you guy's losses, but there is a great solution to protecting yours from theft.

It's better than locking it with a chain, as it can't be cut, and it also looks nicer. Heres the link to their website, btw not advertising, merely showing you guys something that could help and thought it very relevant to this thread.

If you want anymore pic's just ask, I have them and they work a treat, i.e. my saddle hasn't been nicked yet!

The new seatpost looks lovely with it, perhaps remove a few chain links and slam that rear wheel, plus give it a matching tyre, other than that, great job, all came together in the end
