They had one of those in the fancy furniture shop up the road. Thing looked ridiculous and had the sharpest saddle i''ve ever seen.

I just saw the word lust and thought this was the right place to post this:

I just need to be by myself for a little while.

are you going to score anything from the velorution sale Mark? some decent reductions I noticed.

problem chimp (Porkpie), Friday, 22 July 2011 14:21 (twelve years ago) link

I bought a gift for a friend (a wallet made of tyres and tubes) but nothing for me.

Mark C, Friday, 22 July 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link

yeah ditto

took my old MTB to the bike shop where they were taking donations and spotted a bianchi ...pinella, i think? lightweight frame from a few years ago apparently, made from some exotic-sounding boron steel mix. pearlescent celeste, with athena 11, really beautiful.

that rear triangle looks waaaaaaaaaaay precarious

problem chimp (Porkpie), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 22:52 (twelve years ago) link

all those 12-14 lbs steel bikes, whoa. not into that rear brake thing w/ the nokons. i generally like the aesthetics of the bikes though.

if you hipster on your fixie tonight, dont forget, wear black. amen. (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link

that thing is nuts

g++ (gbx), Wednesday, 3 August 2011 02:55 (twelve years ago) link

What the HELL are those cranks? Fugly AND the wrong colour.

Otherwise, would ride, I guess :)

Mark C, Wednesday, 3 August 2011 09:49 (twelve years ago) link

Okay, now THIS one is making me take notice:

Isn't that Laurel's bike?

raised logo treatment on the underside of the downtube is A+

remembrance of schwings past (gbx), Tuesday, 6 September 2011 18:25 (twelve years ago) link

It's from 1939. Found here: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2011/08/bicycle-slide-show-201108

Mark C, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 10:39 (twelve years ago) link

I think the craziest bit is the cog for the chain halfway down the frame. I'm assuming it's only purpose is to stop it dragging on the floor!

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 7 September 2011 12:38 (twelve years ago) link

It must almost ride like a recumbent.

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 7 September 2011 12:39 (twelve years ago) link

not that crazy, most recumbents have that second sprocket

caek, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 12:57 (twelve years ago) link

although recombents are obv ipso facto crazy

caek, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 12:57 (twelve years ago) link

I think it is basically a recumbent, only not very. I'd love to have a go on one - does your neck not ache?

Mark C, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 13:35 (twelve years ago) link

i really don't dig on wood or bamboo bikes, but this is really beautiful

would imagine those wheels are hella out of balance

yeah, niche-y, that's what i meant (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 20 September 2011 22:04 (twelve years ago) link

I don't lust after the cock who's selling that.

Mark C, Tuesday, 27 September 2011 10:17 (twelve years ago) link

haha

nice bike tho. big shimano logos on the levers means team-spec dura-ace bits i think.

I am getting very lustful for a steel framed winter training bike. How can I introduce E to the concept of a third bike?

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Friday, 30 September 2011 00:58 (twelve years ago) link

I'm selling a neon pink steel framed concorde, replete w/guards, btw

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━sɹǝʞɹɐɯ━┻ (cozen), Friday, 30 September 2011 04:46 (twelve years ago) link

I really feel like I need late 80s/early 90s neon monstrosity in my life.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Friday, 30 September 2011 14:04 (twelve years ago) link

I just put a bid on that moser. Recon i can build it out very cheaply with downtube shifters and other stuff from Kaynicks and bicycle heaven.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Friday, 30 September 2011 14:36 (twelve years ago) link

I've really talked myself into it remembering I have an appropriate stem, chorus crank and brake calipers in my parts bin.

right? not sure what he means by "fork tuning" tho

am0n, Friday, 30 September 2011 15:44 (twelve years ago) link

i think what they mean is that the frame is out of alignment, as is the fork

(♯`∧´) (gbx), Friday, 30 September 2011 15:55 (twelve years ago) link

oh :<
