hippy:Dunno.. looked like a liquid drop to me but then I'm probably thinking about beer (and have obvious issues with design). ;)

"pereira" means pear tree apparently.. Spanish slang for "a nightclub with lots of fit women inside possessing large breats"

I know I'm a newb and everything, but is a 'large breat' a specific component?

Will it help with my chainline?

And how much will it cost Vaz to respray one?

hippy · 18th September 2007

Yes, like breasts but bigger.
No, it will make your chainline worse as you concentration is inversely proportional to the size of the breats.
Vaz quoted me £40 for the spray. The rub down is free.

im bringing some more UK track bike love to san francisco... my next build will be around this frame...

it will be set up with zipp hubs to araya adx 510 rims, crecord cranks, an old cinelli front end (the pointy kind, not a 2a), brooks swift on a record seatpost, time atac pedals, phil wood bb, ofmega headset.

hippy · 20th September 2007

Looks like a British pidgeon stowed-away in the box with the frame..

onetwentyeight · 20th September 2007

nah, thats a genuine san franciscan winged rat. if you kill one it gets reincarnated as a homeless person, and visa versa.

unxetas · 24th September 2007

I was gonna make a similar comment, but then realized a non-asian looking girl on a picture he took on his recent trip to Japan might just be his.. hm.. I dunno.. girlfriend?

Is she really into bikes or did she pose there to make you happy? hehe..

Anyone know who sells HED.3s in the UK ?

Brooklyn Jack Crank · 25th September 2007

cetma

big mummy smeear · 25th September 2007

cetma that the one, they look strong as an ox

Brooklyn Jack Crank · 25th September 2007

Strong enough to hold cute ladies on the way back from the bar.

lpg · 25th September 2007

ha, you joker.

Brooklyn Jack Crank · 25th September 2007

What the hell else are fixed gear brakeless track bikes for?

pip · 26th September 2007

ImOnCrank: I like the inverse paint scheme - reversing the colours of the bike from before its demise and subsequent rebirth - Its a nice touch and am glad that you finally got yer decals. Please don't smash this one up any time soon.

lpg · 26th September 2007

I'moncrank, i don't think your Hed3 quite works on this bike

Looks perfect on your bareknuckle, but really clashes with witcomb. i recommend matching it to the rear. would look a treat!

. · 26th September 2007

Sell it to me.

(The wheel that is)

MrSmyth · 26th September 2007

what's the advantage of a 3 spoke wheel on the front? is it lighter than a normal wheel?

BRM · 26th September 2007

better monos

Bike porn at it's finest.

Check out that undrilled fork.

Nope, HED3 front clincher is same weight as a Mavic Cosmos front clincher. You can get lighter wheels.

HED3's win out when it comes to aerodynamics (great for TT's) and 'look at me!" factor.

It increases the bike's BJ's per Mile.

Pip, the paint was a complete accident on the part of the builder. A frickin awesome accident! And I get a free paint job out of it in the future (possibly a fork)

Homie, I KNOW yer wrong.

Brooklyn Jack Crank · 27th September 2007

PS the bareknuckle is dead as fuck

RPM · 27th September 2007

every day, I ride my 'knuckle...in trepidation waiting for something to break.

it's no way for a man to live.

i should have started a tattoo thread for this.

That looks like the old "have got two freewheels and two chain rings but really want to have a fixed wheel bike" trick. Basically one frewheel will coast forward, the other one coasts backward. Hey presto, you've got a fixie.

I have no idea why you'd want to do this, other than to see if it really works.

I suppose it does mean that the bike is perfectly balanced left to right!

BillB · 2nd October 2007

You could have different gear ratios for forwards and backwards, may make skid stops easier? kinda goes against the simplicity of being fixed though
