lets take the only logical comfortable useable portion of track drops...and cut them off.



sure.

^ that wrap job tho.....that's intense.

It's doable if you're patient. If your search Google for "Harlequin wrap" you can find instructions.

From this thread:

Holy crap that is one of the most fiddly processes I've ever seen. It took me three attempts to wrap my bars without any gaps with standard tape.

I usually struggle just using regular bar tape myself. It looks decent on both bikes, not perfect, but at least a 3 footer. If I tried that, I would be crying for sure. Love the look of it, and would love to try it, but I know myself well enough to not do it.

what in gods name is going on with this cockpit

1975, you crazy.

You can still buy those style brake levers. Still looks dumb

Half-step + granny triple Sugino Maxy crankset. Good stuff.

Pinarello Dogma F8 Record Special - Eden Bicycles

All NDS shots.

Got it from their newsletter.

^ would ride that

i think the dogma is so uggo. all melty and not in a good Dali-esque fashion

Pinarellos are like Louis Vuitton handbags, every time you see one not in a shop, you just assume its a fake.

Agree. Totally ugly.

I have this frame, beat to **** in my basement....

I can't be the only one sick of seeing modern carbon road bikes in black, black, and more black. I know there are option out there, but I hope this fashion dies soon.

i concur. more NEON

those skittles crux' have been my favorite looking bikes ive seen in quite a while

It's a lot easier to sell a black bike.

What bugs me more than all the black is the matte finishes. Why did "Dull" become fashionable???

bike ninjas is why.

i think it makes a little more interesting than just gloss black. but ive always been a fan of flat black or OD green so im biased

Exactly. So many of them just look like generic chinese carbon. Boring as hell.

I thought it had something to do with the "murdered out" car thing, which I always found tacky as well. It looks like a rattle can job.

I'm a "satin" or "semi flat" guy, personally.

The satin thing can look soooo good if done right. Generally people have poor taste imo so it usually looks awful :notamused:

satin is a little easier to make look uniform

most of the sanding jobs on the flat black cars you see on the street are garbage, you can see every imperfection

"yo my boy hooked up the paint on my 240 bro, **** is bomb as ****"

a truly clean flat black paint job is a work of art, even though its the least exciting paintjob you can have...




outside of beige

:shudder:

i dont understand a matte finish on an actual color though. guy on the island has a orangey-yellow colored charger with a matte finish. looks like a ****in block of cheese.
