eric frame builder at ground up designs made a rear drop out cnc milled $100 for a dropout i guess he was using $100 / hr as his wages
how nice does that look though solid billet alu

check out pics of the bottom bracket fit build frame then chop it up surely that can't be the most efficient way to make a bottom bracket surely one would just weld in the bottom bracket as you made the frame no ?

I love the way this nice bike is chained up with a £2 bike cable lock. Japan must be great if you can get away with that.

Yeah that does seem weird, it's almost like he used the wrong shell then realised he needed an eccentric bb shell then had to revove and refit?

Possibly easier to build this way - get everything right/square with standard BB then fit the EBB?
Maybe it was a late change of mind to an EBB?
Maybe he just wanted an excuse to use a big drill?

Damn man built up by Fritz Brühlmann, now I'm really jealous. The inventor of the Aerospoke ! ! !

Hmmmz. Most of them are like a pile of vomit hitting the road. One of the nicer ones was featured in Intersection aswell.

WOW! Totally into those bikes, only seen the pink n white one before but there all awesome. Damn now im gonna have to start painting!

That encapsulates everything that is good and just....

ahhh suicide girls

that is one lucky saddle.

it took 4 pages for someone to come up with something worth looking at ;)

well done Buddski

So I take it you're all doing the naked bike ride in a couple of weeks?

seriously thinking about it.

I did it last year... pics over here:

Not as scary as you think. But perhaps easier if you go along alone ;)

it'd be great to meet up with people afterwards , so I could do the old "sorry , didn't recognise you with your clothes on" bit

I don't like the idea of pervs going to spectate just so they think they can see a bit of some young lady or whatever..

clothed folk (I believe naturists call them "textiles") with cameras snapping away at all those saggy tits and distended ball bags..

im doing it

[quote][/that is one lucky saddle.quote]

i don't see no saddle

nice ride

hmmmm if it wasn't for all the stuff on the bars that would look pretty sweet

less is more

it would be a crime to fix it as it's so rare but it would look sooo sweeeet!

My own porn.

A 2006 Custom Serotta. Mostly Titanium and Carbon (twisted and woven), with Campy Record throughout and whatever other trimmings seemed appropriate for it (things like the Chris King colour matched headset). Even the paint job is custom, everything is as I wanted it, and the only things I've changed have been the wheels (to Fulcrum Racing 1's) and the tyres (as the red is too bright, and grey looks lovely).

hmm this is nice

just the naked bars stop it from being 100%

yeah, i saw that too. very nice. best of today's bunch

David Tell me a little more a bout the frame please. So it's mostly Titanium corect with Carbon seat stays? Could you explain more about this twisted and woven?

This page details the materials better than I could describe them:
http://www.serotta.com/pages/materials.html

Basically, you pick the frame according to the ride you want, and they pick the tubes to fine tune the frame to the rider.

The Torsion Core (twisted, layered carbon) down tube is to reduce weight whilst increasing stiffness. The seat stays are to reduce high frequency road buzz (the ride is smoother with no loss of control). The titanium is only the seat tube, head tube and chain stays. The other tubes are all carbon, with the seat stays and top tube being standard woven carbon and the down tube being that snazzy Torsion Core thing. The thickness and properties of all of these tubes are selected according to rider weight, frame size, riding style, etc. Same with rake, trail, geometry adjustments. They just tailor the bike precisely to you and the way you ride.

now that is impressive
puts my hacks to shame, allthough aesthetically speaking i think its terrid,
a ride on it would most likely change my mind though haha

If you're talkin' plastic bikes, I want one of these:

David - that is a very nice bike. Looks like it would be great to ride

Just found this site: http://www.radklassiker.at/

nice effect with the copper

Didn't really know where to put this, but I found out yesterday from a friend that her ex has become a frame builder.
Although my knowledge is a bit limited, some of these look damn nice to me.

Anyone heard of him?

Yeah, I have one of his bikes as my desktop at the moment. He's pretty renowned in the states. The chicago lot have got quite a few bikes by him. Check out Flickr for more porn.
