and they look shit.
plus the sibling up there is an embarrassment, and thats never a good sign.

Yup looking at the chainstays and BB shell I concur.

well sherlock the fucking WELDS gave it away to me.

for good measure

nice. absolutely love it. hate the crank though. I'm always reluctant to work with one piece cranks. to me even the trashiest bike deserves a 3 piece.

my work here is done

didn't know ios7 was out. checked it out. it is funny. i mean ios7 is funny.

accepted from seated or standing position?

interesting bike this.

anyway these forks actually have a backwards moving trajectory when compressed. the wheel moves up and back. It was thought to better follow the force vector generated by a bump. never really stuck.

^I guess mine spin well too, but they are appanrantly made with this 'mavic incompatibility' with weird french measurements, hollow axle, strange dustcaps and what not.

And they are impossible to find, and order, spares for.

I don't like them

never had a problem with this. anyway. next.

controversial, I know

Not posted because of looks (sure,they are beautiful), but because of the shit mavic hubs

been on this for about 5 years through terrible winters, still rolling smooth. also never needed much truing either.

"controversial" because you're wrong and the masses agree.

remove the bike and we have something to talk about.

way to ruin the thread. kill it with fire.

totally smashed up my nexus 4 yesterday, dropped it on the pavement and now there are lights on, but no-one is home. Can anyone recommend a decent lightweight case for my replacement? I had an incredibly effective dual layer thingy for my Galaxy but it made it massive, this thing is bigger than I am used to already

I have the bumper. It works and isn't ugly. or big.

Came here to post some Action Bronson.

Ferrari512 BBi Is A Piece of Art

amazing.

I haz a question for everybody with a pseudo-porteur style bike, basically anything with nitto promenade handlebars and the like, which put your hands either in line with your stem, or sometimes even behind it.

How does this affect handling?

it's basically exactly as ed said but there's a bit more to it than just a lighter front end. Theres a profound change in the way the bike responds to out of saddle efforts. Once out of the saddle the bars don't really leverage well and you feel like your legs are overpowering your arms. when seated the effect is not so pronounced and i suggest climbing from the saddle. I climb from a seated position, relaxing my arms and working with my legs.

in turns you feel as if the front end isn't weighted enough and as though the bike is under-steering. truth of the matter is this all makes you a better rider and you quickly you learn to steer with your hips.

the climbing sucks though and doesn't make you a better rider.

kill it with fire.

maybe it's for a mouse. looks to be a miniature bike left by the edge of a stair.

my bridgestone track bike por naoyawada, no flickr

10/10

definitely a yeti. stem or not.

56 square. the holy dimension.

Really? Fair if it's happened, but in nearly 25 years on a bike I've never heard of bending a clip. Well once, but that was because my brother was riding on the flip side of the pedal and caught it in a turn. anyways... next.

maybe that was harsh.
just relax man. wasn't trying to start a debate.

fuck off. it's friendly banter. if you don't want to talk about bikes go hang out alone.

i can critique without mistaking this as a candidate for porn. The only reason i even take the time is this is a nice looking bike. things that bother me:

1. narrow bars are always a mistake.
   
2. thin grips are always a mistake
   
3. plastic clips?
   
   

mainly directed at the owner.

Check the thread title

i just meant it's odd fit that could be corrected with a 5mm.

and the saddle.

and the post.

oh wait.

and the stem.
