Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Favorite track bike (pictures)

Post a picture of your favorite track bike. You can judge it based on appearance, components, roll of the dice -- whatever. But no conversions.

Of the 130someodd bikes in my screensaver file, this is the one I find the most amusing.

That thing is less a track bike than most conversions, though.

That pic is at the same time intresting, amusing and annoying.

it looks digitally enhanced..

I made the post, I made the rules. :p

Anything that [165], Ceya, dubteka, FungaziDave, abstnr, or dolface is currently riding. I leave it to them to post the bike I refer to. :)

Its only of use on the the track, its about as track specific as you can get.

stayer bikes are the ugliest **** on this earth.

Is that thing REAL? Who built that, and how big is that chainring?

and by "stayer bikes" you meant "all of my body parts"?

My favorite? the Ohtaki that just arrived this morning!

sorry. I'm just all excited.

seems more likely to me that it's a land speed record bike for out on the salt flats.

I've never seen a better looking bike. If I ever do i'll be in shock, because to me that is the perfect bike.

Looks like you have a good reason to be... Congrats

that was my guess too, but in all fairness, I think that sorta falls under the track bike umbrella. at least in this case.

**** you!!! Now I want a Tommasini. And I don't even want a trackbike at all, let alone a steel one (ooops...)

that tommasini kinda ****s me up cause it's got cable routes on the bottom bracket. until now, I didn't notice. I just thought they were bb cutouts.

-snip of pictures-


I haven't. All those bikes you posted are no doubt beautiful as ****, but they all have issues when talking about the perfect bike for me. Geometry angles, tire clearence, paint, lug shape, label style, stem style, track ends, ect.

The Conti I posted is completely perfect in every way (in my eyes). The only two bikes that comes close in beauty to the Conti is TNCLR's Casati and 12XU's Mercian.

They are cutouts not cable guides.

S/F,
CEYA!

not the three slots you can see through, the raised ridges in pairs that follow the lines you'd want a cable to run through. (the cable guides)

why does it matter, yo ?

Yeah, the guys at Tom were too busy designing the paint job to make a track specific BB shell. I could live with it, though.

I dunno. I surely like to ride my bikes upside down.

agreed.

just cause I'm a bike dork and the frame is amazing except for that little detail. def not a big deal, just weird that they left them on.

I have the world's biggest hardon for withnail's Colnago, but I heard that it is dead now. :(

It's definitely not the classiest thing out there, but it's most definitely hot as ****. Possibly my favorite bike now too. I won't be afraid to ride that hard, stuff like TNCLR's and that ballin' Mercian I would be way too gentle with.

i look at bikes from 9:30-6.

i ride/work on bikes any other time that i'm not in bed or at the bar(not drinking).
i don't have a couch/internet/cable, so that statement is pretty damn close to true.

you guys crack me up. If only you rode the bikes as much as you look at them....
It's much harder to ride bikes in an office. :(

I'll not sacrifice my spelling for that claim. And I'm pretty sure I'd be fired.

That makes my heart skip! Dang!

THAT is the very reproduction I want to make next! That is one of the single most beautiful bikes ever- regardless of maker. It's just gorgeous. I've slobbered over that picture for years...

It's so track specific it has platform pedals.... :rolleyes:

You're talking about the wrong bike, mister rolly eyes.

that masi really is something special i gotta say. no pun intended.

I dunno about my favourite, but this EG Bates is now mine. I was gonna flip it, but the seatpost is stuck. At exactly my size. So, I thought that was fate, and now it's mine. Probably gonna take the brake off and run it on the track though.

The quote I originally responded to was in reference to the first bike with the giant chainring.

I was just being silly anyways...

Ahhh, word.

Well crap.

/me mourns
