here it is pre the gonz labs treatment



its so hardcore cuz its a persuit frame.

vee_dub

Oh nice....LOOKS awesome!
THey are really rare right??

onetwentyeight 

i dont know about carters, i havent seen any others, but persuit frames arent that rare (tho rarer than regular track frames). search for a thread called "funny bikes" for a bunch of them.

pitboss

this one was found embedded in the side of a humpback whale.

In Oz, they just toss awesome frames into the sea. Such is the life of a relocated criminal...

Sekt

That's if we live anywhere near the sea. Usually we cut them up and use the tubing to fashion drop-bear hunting spears.

vee_dub

Mate they toss frame in sea..can u find me where? heheh SO i can go pick them up . I lived in sydney tho
OZ mateeeee!!

pitboss

brilliant!

Gonz Lab - good stuff. Paired up with MrWhite, I believe?

doofo

mods please be careful not to allow too many australians in one place

it is a dangerous mistake

onetwentyeight 

indeed, that photos straight from the fyxomatosis site.

vee_dub

Australian dont do any harm ....

Serendipper 

It's the combo of yanks and aussies that scare the brits.

onetwentyeight 

we should start a crossbreeding program. scaring brits is fun. breeding, too.

vee_dub

crazy...Is there any new bike manufracturer produce this kind of frame??

onetwentyeight 

not sure off hand, but theres an absolutely stunning one for sale on the fyxomatosis site.

vee_dub

Oh that one cost 1200 but with track wheels i think. THe shape aint that nice compare to the one above.
i guess from now i am searching for a old frame pursuit or bianchi pista concept...Really like the geometry and shape of them.

Natron

ugghhhhh. but whyyyyyyyyy in pink? If I want a cool bike, I don't want to feel like I'm Jem while riding it.

veggiemafia

You've clearly never bred with an Australian. I assure you, sir, it's anything but fun. Especially when, after mating, the female Australian uses her powerful front forelimbs to decapitate you and eat your head.

Sammyboy

I'm trying to imagine what the spawn of that would look like. It'd be all, like, invading countries in hats with corks on. Or something. Or wearing huge shoulderpads for cricket.

sorsha6

I can't understand why you wouldn't want to be truly, truly outrageous.

vee_dub

Cricket...damn i havent play that in a while..
haha I dont get why people dont like Australian...We drink beer all the time and relax. Its awesome..

Rattlebag

And trying to run around the boundry when they hit the ball. In fact, I think the ICC should make the Aussies play like this just to give the rest of the world a chance. It wouldn't be the stupidest rule they've come up with.

Rugen

The crossbreeding would probably do them some good. I have a roommate with "Cat Eyes" (her irises are deformed and elongated). I asked her if she was wearing contacts in an attempt to be gothy and she replied "no, it's a genetic defect from inbreeding. There weren't always a lot of reproductive choices in Adelaide."

I kid you not.

Now there's a good start to a conversation!

Sammyboy

In England, it's only Londoners and Cricket/Rugby fans that hate you. In London, it's because every single bartender is Aussie. For some reason that bothers people. As far as the cricket and rugby - meh. As long as we're still a million times better at footie, I won't care. You're fine with me.
