Ok lets start with this unconventional looking/design bike. A 16lbs with custom aero bars and front hub and homemade brakes. Look almost no brake right? Thanks Adam for posting brake porn on San Francisco Fixed Gear Forum.. cocky aey… but man… this is a really cool for you kid that will eventually get yourself a friklin BRAKE..
Adam posted an array of brake from long time ago steel to today carboner. I couldn’t help thinking about first semester physic, remember friction? Remember deceleration? Remember moment of inertia? Remember gravity? Then material science, static, dynamic.. ok ok.. many thanks to Sir Isaac Newton that proved the Law long time ago and greasy hand machinist (like dirty dave) … here we have shit load of BRAKE PORN !!!
128 Posted this pic of our Paramounts, the SF Paramount Club, Brian P14, Yuko P14, Joshua P13 curvy seat tube and mine P14…taken sometime ago near Albion Alley.. my P14 has been to many places with me around the world….making me missed the good old time and SF home….
Now now now.. this is what I like!!! 15K bike porn!!! oh man…. WW had a nice review factory write up review with manufacture process and road test. On the side note, I really like Cycling Tip Blog, beautiful photo and write up. Make sure to add that to list k.
Right, it’s back, the Laser is back…. if I have an opportunity, of course I want one…but you know itTRACKO, it will need to have Keith Haring wheel…
‘Today thanks to the rebirth of steel and people like yourselves, a dream is about to be realised: the Cinelli Laser will return. Not just as a museum display, but as a track machine; rigid and lively, more so even than its predecessor 20 years ago. All the original protagonists are ready and motivated; Andrea Pesenti who built 300 throughout the 1980’s, myself Antonio Colombo who thought them up, Paolo Erzegovesi who engineered them, and Emilvano Montorio who pulled out the tubes. New in the band will be Alessandra Cusatelli, my partner, and Cinelli design co-ordinator of the last 10 years. As always, it will only be available in limited editions. The kids are alright!”
ok, more like Bangkok, I am glad I get to keep one of my Gazelle (in the boat heading to China right now) I don’t think my 2003 my Gazelle is copper dipped like in the vdo, but all the parts still look the same. How cool is that, since a long time ago.
One tip for changing the rear tire for fully dressed Gazelle. You want to lay the bike down on the right. Loosen only left side nut. Then you can pull the left rear triangle with enough gap to replace the tire, or tube. Please don’t bother to undress the rear shirt… it’s just not classy…
“While there’s no denying the sheer eye-candy appeal of the 21 bikes currently on display at NYC’s Museum of Art and Design, the show goes beyond the glossy frames, contoured leather seats, and clever accessories, delving into the intensive craftsmanship that drives the growing rebirth of the trade.
