hmm im not quite convinced.. maybe if the hubs said lightweight on them, that would reassure me

Anyone seen the Cannondale Jacknife?

HAHAHAHAHA! ;-)

3 weeks? But the sign outside says 59 minute cleaning!

Yes dear, that's just the name of the shop.

vacuum your floor you grub :p

says he who doesn't know how to use a knife and fork ;)

Cannondale rebuilt and now I'm rockin' and lovin' the tubies

this is the bike 'PORN' discussion....

readers wives

Hi, I'm new here (not from anywhere near london, though, unless you call a 75 minute flight near.) and I know you're not supposed to post your own bikes here, but I saw that Moser which looks a *bit* like the Moser frame I bought for 50 euros and and converting into a fixie right now, so I thought I'd post it.



j/dgmtc

wow that was a good find for 50 dorra!, are you going to try convert it to that top frame? lump hammer. 12 beers and a weekend should sort that :D

haha that would be quite a challenge... maybe the power of a 100 Uri Gellers would come in handy to pull that trick off.
I didn't even know about that record attempt bike, I just couldn't not buy a frame that beautiful at that ridiculous price. Mind you, It remained unsold for about 3 months before I decided to get it... kinda shows you how blasé Belgians (that's where i'm from) have become about race bikes as there are so many here.

hehe, right im checking flights to belgium! i know this might be like one of those questions which borders on bike racism ..but are there loads of eddy merckx therefore loads of secondhand bargins over there?

That Gitane is the real deal!!!

nice machine, but what's with the forks? They look a bit old fashioned
for such a sleek frame, what with the flat shoulders and everything.

yeah i like it, a little bit of old little bit of new, tho i ride bull horns too and single bolt stems make me nervous with all that weight on them, hopefully i havent installed my fear on to you now ;)

The forks are original, those Cannondales used to be alloy with steel forks... the model after, "Major Taylor" (grey and red, used to cost £1000 at Evans) had (alloy or carbon? can't remember now) non-steel forks and looked more modern... i remember that was my dream bike when i was in Brazil!

That, right there, is beautiful !

There are quite some Merckx bikes around but since Merckx is the most famous name around in cycling, the prices are higher than for comparable frames of other brands, lots of demand too...
I'm looking for a 2nd hand one of these, cheap:

(shot at the Ghent 6 days)
;)

Nah, I've got a geared bike already (specialized sequoia) but Antwerp's as flat as a pancake so I prefer to ride a singlespeed around here.

I've also got another moser (my first singlespeed), which I bought for 20 euros. It was spraypainted and looked like shit, so I got it powder-coated mint green.

the front brake is missing on that pic though and it's got a different saddle now. anyhow, sorry for posting a 2nd reader's wife in the porn thread ;)

Actually there are quite some cheap Mosers around here. I probably shouldn't say that, but buy them instead and put them on e-bay before someone else does. ;)

[quote] dogmatic:
The front wheel seems to be a Mavic IO... but the rear as well?

I used the first decent weather this year to get a photo of my new build. Sadly its got to go straight on ebay.

i really like your wheel. (the front one) nice frame what is it?

Its a Makino

I like this bridgestone frame *a lot*:

check out all the available colours as well... click!
Although I'd go for a solid colour with just 1 decal on each side... that is, if I could afford it... the cheaper PHM-7 version (same design, less high-tech carbon) would cost about 1700 euros if I would get it in JP.
Then again, 1700 euros would get me a lot of other stuff and I've already got 5 bikes.

I think it's an awesome bike, but if I saw someone riding it as a road bike, I'd cut their face off and dump the body outside Chicken Cottage

i would help you.

mmm chicken cottage

That looks to be very very close to a Banchi Concept.

Even the indentation down the side of the fork.
