Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

How is it "porn" though? That bike is no nicer than my Bare Knuckle.

I don't consider any of my bikes as porn, they are just highly specific tools of their trade.

You can be one of the bfssfg people that likes Superb, but that bike isn't porn imo. It just has an interesting paint job.

All the pic's of bikes here are porn. It's just the one's in this thread are supposed to be the classy stuff and the "two girls and a ..." stuff is supposed to be in the jackass thread and the amateur self-shot stuff goes in the post-your-bike thread.

IMO, Superb/LOW/MASH are all not considered porn worthy brands, but the popular opinion from what I can see on here is that they are garbage. I just wanted to show something more tasteful than that disc/hed superb. You put this parts list from that green Superb onto a Wabi and you could bet that most of bbssfg would start wetting itself.

I wonder how they dealt with the brake cabling with the rear brake on the superb considering I stalked their flikr and there's not a single NDS picture & there's no mounts on the bike or mentioned of internal cabling capacity.... scotch tape?
Out of all those specs, you/ they forgot to mention the headset.
Meh on the seatpost...it's overpriced and it's weight savings vs price ratio makes a new masterpiece look like a good deal and an elite look like a bargain, not to mention you get a generations ahead fine adjustment clamp with thomson.. it's sourced from easton anyhow.
On another note, crosslake is liquidating 7410 posts w/ $0.99 no reserve on NIB ones; but people are willing to fork up close to the cross listed buy it now price for them.

ewww look at all that mismatched dura ace, 7400, 7402, 7403, 7410, 7600 and 7610???
all porn should have mandatory full group.
