I really regret selling this frame to spud. I sold it for what I payed. I've been thinking about trying to get it back. Oddly enough, I had a dream about this bike a few weeks back too. I think thats what made me want it.

just bought this one:

better pics to come when it arrives.

I have access to a Schwinn prologue (sp?) that takes a 24" front wheel. I'm having some difficulty finding a rim and tire. Anyone have a lead on something for cheap?

mine is like the first,

its a little bit different now. this was taken over a year ago.

are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that a -huge- chainring?

Surprisingly fun to ride BUT not to work on.

Not uncomfortable, but VERY twitchy.

I never got the nerve up to lean over the front and skid.

Now residing in Sverige.

oh, and it wouldn't be quite right if this didn't get a mention in this thread.

I really love the look of these bikes.

I know of a stash of the TT ones if anyone is interested...

chrisgraham81: just so you know, man, I want to do such dirty things to your bike. That **** is awesome.

And here's one courtesy of velospace, made by the 'Guch.

this has potential to be my favorite thread of all time. I love these bikes. so so so damn hot.

I'll get some photos of the Daccordi up here soon. Curved top/seattubes, tonnes of fun

I'm sorry, but chrisgraham's bike hurts my eyes.

are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that a -huge- chainring?

yes its huge. it was 3 dollars out of a misc parts bin and i was a broke student at the time. I dont have the heart to change it though.

the seat goes higher than that, but it's the best pic of it that i could find.

i'll post a[nother] pic of mine on here once i get the bars wrapped and give it a clean.

Are you gonna build that one up? It looks gnarly. ~what size is it?

I love that it says "Pure Filth" on the frame, and immediately behind it is a dog licking his sack.

My old college bar bike:

Why are ape-hanger cruisers in this thread again???

This thread is pointless.

Why are ape-hanger cruisers in this thread again???

because some people think a funny bike is just a funny looking bike, also ape hangers are not funny or cool or stylish in anyway, especially when your damn surfer brother has to take up the whole damn shed with his damn bike because of it, damn you my damn surfer brother

I beg to differ. Actually I don't beg, I simply demand.

This thread is pointless.

just like the rest of the internet!

Now you have hit a sweet spot in my heart and a lurker has had to take a couple of quick pictures of some things I had in my office. The Colnago Master Profilo pursuit bike is one sweet riding bike. It tracks beautifully and is a joy to ride durning a quick lunch hour break. The Masi TT is in line to build up as a period correct bike. The Pogliaghi will probably be built up as a fixie to be used when I don't want to take out the Colnago pursuit.

don

hopefully i will be able to contribute to this thread soon.

that colnago is NUTS.

Indeed, the colnago makes me all sweaty. Beautiful bike.

Last one has gears, sorry ;)

You're gonna need a really steep hill to spin out with that gearing!!

These bikes are so hot. :(

Well, except the fact that they all have quill stems.

One day I shall ride double carbon disks on the street. This will also be the day that all the various forums spontaniously combust, and dutret hires an assasin to track me down and finish me.

I've posted mine before...

I bought the frameset from Ceya last winter.

When you run double carbon disks on the street, you're gonna fly away into the 32nd story of a building when the wind picks up!

Hopefully!

That's the plan. As I will be equipped with an aero parachute, I intend to be the first track bike/base jumper, and take this whole "fixie tricks" thing to the next level.

*wonders if matching chute to bike is important*

wow^^
i was going to put a picture of mine up, but it all seems pointless now.

the only thing pointless in this thread is trying to top any of those beauties that jet sanchez posted.

Yeah, let's see it.

And yeah, those ones that I posted are mostly team bikes, the Moser is the one that Moser himself attempted the hour record on. Dunno if that is the bike that he set the record on or not but yeah, most of those are professional TT builds. Here are some fixed conervsions, likely BF members, I dunno whose though.

Probably only funny enough for a chuckle.

Does anyone have better pix of this nutty thing?

^^^^Weird, I didn't see your post but here it is; that Moser that I pictured earlier was only the bike that he made his first attempt. This is the one that he set the record on, looks kinda painful:
