Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - bauhaus build

so i'm thinkin' of making this IRO group buy frame coming my way completely bauhaus inspired. yeah pretty dumb, but what else you gonna do? so here what im thinking so far:

black IRO frame
white deep Vs to dura ace hubs (for some reason that black center of the hubs looks sooo minimal)
sella italia white slr
campy record pista stem and headset (both have black inserts to match the hubs)
all cranks these days look equally simple so sugi or campy or shimano or whatever
black stem (thomson?)
black straight bars or riser or soma noah's arc
white oury grips or black oury lock on grips

anyway im trying to find the most simple FUNCTIONAL bike. things like holes in hubs seem less simple, bars without grips aren't too practical IMO.

am i an idiot? any suggestions?

In the flat field you will get bored

bauhaus the german art school, or the goth band?

idgi @ both...

I Double Dare you to build that; it could be a real Kick in the Eye if you do it right.

id also put a brake on there or you might end up an exquisite corpse

he should also put on a light when he heads out in the night

Well yeah, especially if he's going riding in the Hollow Hills. I wouldn't want to be accused of being the Sanity Assassin for not suggesting a light.

I apologize, we've gotten away from the Spirit of the thread, it must have gotten on the Nerves of the original poster. Smalltalk Stinks. I think astrx should use a Mask to put some subtle graphics on the frame

Great, leave me hanging like some sort of Stigmata Martyr or something.

perhaps the bars could be shellacked with the hair of the dog.

I have a feeling that would leave your hands looking like a Rosegarden Funeral of Sores

yea, you're right. you know what? you're my main man.

Well you know you can't live In Fear of Dub

i'd wanna peep that frame with Twenty Scopes for sure.



(best thread)

There's Hope for this build after all. This thing could turn out to be King Volcano.

All he ever wanted was everything.

I guess we now know Who Killed Mr. Moonlight.

It's funny, though I heard he was stung by a Wasp

well he might as well make the Dive and do it. it could draw Crowds. or maybe just a Rosegarden Funeral of Sores.

Rosegarden Funeral of Sores.
Did that one. It, like Bela Lugosi's Dead. Try to give your next one a Slice of Life

Untitled.

please press the eject and give me the tape on this thread, it's over

It's over? Well I'll be a Third Uncle. I'll Swing the Heartache for the loss.

Edit: LOL fail.

Well if the Party of the First Part would like to come back we can Watch That Grandad Go

If you truly want a Bauhaus-inspired bike, buy one of these (http://imagesource.allposters.com/images/pic/VAS/0000-6071-4~Adler-Bicycle-Posters.jpg). Marcel Breuer himself based the design for the Wassily chair on his bicycle.

You Boys.

Bauhaus was all about innovation and function, function is naturally there with fixies. So why not add some new innovation into there too.

hot.

oh, and this thread rules.

I was actually thinking about doing an Eames inspired bike last year... I say go for it.

How can you call it Bauhaus without any red?

And wear this.

I double dare you.

That jersey is as good as PURCHASED.

I think we need more bikes built to the theme of art/design movements.

Impressionist fixed gear? A Constructivist track bike? Minimalist cruiser? The opportunities are endless!

I'd think flat bars would fit your theme more, with minimal sweep.

I'll have no choice that to start my corbu build now.

regardless of the inspiration, black on white can look great if done well. maybe a bit of polished aluminum too...

Bella Lugosi's dead.

Doesn't anyone care about contemporary design? Bauhaus, Eames, Corbusier...it's all at least 60 years old. Get with the now ;-)

Something a little Swiss?
