I am officially in love with that IF. I'm going to start saving all my money to get one of those. That is just.... incredible. I don't even know what to say. Those Townsends are sexy too.

Independent Fabrication Bikes make me weak in the knees. Who has a picture of that tandem that an IF employee made for her fiancee (or did he make it for her) as a wedding present? Best wedding present ever.

Edit: My bad. That was a Seven employee. The thread is here. Best wedding present evar.

the vanilla behind is my dream bike/frame.

while i think the binder bolt is a little awkward, the threadless stem-***-spacer on that cream pereira is a really logical design. almost as clean as a threaded, without sacrificing adjustability like the integrated vanilla stem/bars (which are impossibly clean but one piece).

What's the story on this one?

rich ****er who spent:
25 grand on bikes
$1m on a car
and $5,000 on flooring for his garage

it has to be a joke, right?

i'm sure it not. why do we assume that uber rich people wouldn't like riding bikes?

I wouldnt be surprised if they commuted on those bikes because DDing that Enzo would be insane, lol.

yeah but you can't lock through a disc wheel :(

I really like that IF frame but the build is disgusting.

What we make: flies!

BTW. the first one on your list (which incidentally is what's written on the fork) is the only one that's grammatically incorrect. Well, the 4th one is very questionable as well. The semicolon is normally used to separate related sentences, but there the two sentences aren't related.

yea i couldn't read the logo on the tire on this *****ty work computer. but dang

I raced against the owner of this bike at Major Taylor velodrome...it does indeed fly.

Here's my contribution:

No one knows! Some guy named "Mike V" posted it, and there was much speculation that it was legendary
skater Mike Vallely, but the guy never came back to explain himself.

What is up with the brake and the bullhorns on this machine? Is it being used for..*gasp* commuting? Or messanging?

Cuz it would be 7.0 lbs without the brake and lever.

That is not mike v's house/bike/enzo/whatever. that is one pic of about 20 of some dude in japans house/car/bike/I buy things that are not for sale collection. I had the pics of the whole deal, I will see if I can find them. It was nuts, he had Land rovers, r. rovers, 360's, bentleys, crap I have never seen before, about 25-30 cars and all of them are black or sliver.

hillclimb races.

Ding ding ding. Think of the seconds you can save with a 7lb bike. Assuming it doesn't collapse under your weight.

No 7-lbs bike would be allowed in any UCI or USAC race, but there are plenty of non-sanctioned hill climb races were this bike would be great.

Although I'm fairly certain that this is more of a proof-of-concept bike than anything designed for regular use, racing or otherwise.

Here are more pictures of the Crumpton fixed gear. I'm sure this is the most expensive bike in this thread.

OMG!!

'You know you want it.'

on the back of the rider's jersey 'catch it first'

MikeV posted those bikes claiming they were his. That is not MikeV is it?
