That derailleur won't last long, a bit of long grass and it's in trouble :o

Why? his legs go up and down not in and out....it's no different to having a chainset in a regular position...unless this particular 7yr old has calves like the incredible hulk..;)
I've never scratched my legs on either of my brooklyns with that setup.

And mine had chains on both sides!

lol good answer scott


that tomassini is easily one of my favorite bikes EVER, before it got the disc wheel though

It's a very nice bike indeed, have you seen a picture of it before the disc went on ?

Actually, I just had a quick chop up in Potatoshop™ to have a look - and I think I actually quite like the purple disc, it's quite insane - normally I am no fan of disc wheels, but I make an exception here.

That Tommassini passed through the hands of my friend James (the same guy I bought my Affinity from). He's had some sick bikes:

Calfee (he still has this):

Masi (he also still has this):

What is the front hub of the Eimei? Looks like a hologram on the outside. Is it a Suzue one?

The calfee has the same spinergy wheels i'm wanting for my roadbike...:)
at least now i know it's possible to remove all those stickers!

more disc wheel sexness…

i can't work out what's going on with that rear spinergy... is that white paint or glare or what?

They have white spokes and just a really noticable weave in the carbon.

so that's just light reflecting off the rear rim?

Yippedy do....:)

One gust of wind and that feller's in for dental surgery.

One off Trek Madone fixed built for Lance Armstrongs attempt at the hour record

Suzue Promax carbon.

Hmm, wonder if it's actually a Trek, or an undercover job. Doesn't look much like the Madones I've seen.

That is seriously steep! Nice bikes.

Oh my....

Once again...

Ok sod it.

Specular highlight, the light is catching them.

Mr Harry, not sure where you are getting your links from ?




[EDIT !!! beaten by Anthony (wolfenger) and by less than a minute :( ]

;-P

Think back a few years. It looks like the madone from around 2005, in fact

Wonder what bikes they ride.....?

Isn't this cylingWMD's bilenky/hetchins track?

Chris

this one~?

Good to see he got rid of the HHSB rims.

and the bell :(
I like bells

I want. I also want to be able to use it properly too.

is that because he likes to be ridden????

theres some pics of it without the disc on velospace somewhere,

i know you guys will love this one
from me, www.smeear.co.uk
actualy www.nobrakesatl.com

I do hope that is not what he was thinking when getting that.

BlueLug with the Sugino 75 colorzzz now with added Zen rings. Slavery.

wow they look nice.

I like the Olympics reference.

They grey bits would look nice on this urban camouflage NJS Samson

Gotta call bullshit on that one. that would be of no use for either of the hour records. Not made of round steel tubing so that's the athletes hour out. No where near aero enough for the real hour.

small chainring

@pipwish, that samson is lovely

Lance Armstrong in 05

"It's interesting; at the Discovery team presentation, we talked about the possibility to build a velodrome and everyone went into a frenzy... 'he's going to buy the Hour Record'. I said it was a possibility; I didn't say we had already built the freakin' track! We were exploring every possibility like we do with everything. So that was, of course when we were not certain I was doing the Tour, so everything else is on the back burner and after that, we'll decide. For all the purists out there, I will say IF there's an hour record and IF one is done at altitude, there WILL be one done at sea level."

They never did it though

Lance probably used that test Trek for power metering. They'd adjust his position and measure aerodynamics and power generation and then if they found he could generate enough power for long enough, THEN they'd worry about building a bike that met regulations for the record.
He probably couldn't meet the power requirements and would rather finish on a 7-tour high than a 'missing the hour record' low.

track porn.

Nah, West London polo bike.
