What bikes do we lust over?

wait through like in the store?? sounds like evil guide bike

yeah, justine thought it was bad form, but i said that you don't keep a $10,000 bike locked up anywhere in oakland, so he gets a pass. she agreed once she knew she was looking at a very special machine.

why they don't put pedals?

they used up the current global supply of gold anodizium on the rest of the bike, that's why.

gold anowhoziwhat?

that's one of the coolest marketing stunts i've ever heard of.

love this lugs + dual tubing look. bet it's pricey!

That is beautiful, apart from the fat stem!

are those toplines? they must be a lookalike, im sure topline is extinct since the 90s.

not my style, but now yr talkin

So tempted because it is my london frame in Ti.

looks insanely gorgeously mint but doesn't the seat tube look cocked back a bit? what is the advantage of that?

i know someone with one of those, he loves it.

that seems like a really great buy it now price

I should go to bed before I do, in fact, buy it now.

i didnt wanna encourage you any more than i had, but now that buying it now is no longer an option... imo that was a v. v. v. good deal. better even than the merlin extralight thingy the other day (tho the merlin is i think a better frame).

more moots love

think once i wear the CAAD out i would like one of these - better start saving then!

a coworker of mine just got a moots ybb 29er - he went all out on the build kit and asked me for help putting it together. it's a really fun bike to work on, since it's just so goddamned beautiful. on any other frame, i would be mad about the pain in the ass factor of having to disconnect the rear brake hose and feed it through the closed hose guides (and then having to bleed the brake afterward), but the thought of putting zip ties anywhere on that bike just seems like you're defacing it.

huh, that middle-of-the-road chainring on such a cutting edge bike is like a fart in the room.

dur? sugino zen rings are (i thought) among the best you can get. they're like $140 a pop!

super zen imo, NJS KEIRIN LQQK (also about 3x the price iirc)
