Those BMW's (Brooklyn Machine Works) bikes are crazy! 10" front/rea

feature on the Sprung 5 DVD

Was talking to a gentleman on the weekend who plans to do the next PB
on a fixie. How the _hell do you cope with descents

If I had dreams.. one of them would be about this bike:
http://www.on-one.co.uk/products/tiinbredebb.shtml

Only difference would be that it would use the Kona-styled "funky
dropouts" (TM) that slide the whole rear end allowing rear disc brakes
to be fitted.

There's too many exotic road bikes out there that I drool over to post
links to. But, if SuzyJ doesn't like my previous Orbea "plastic" bike
(you'll come around when you can lay carbon Suzy ;-)) then how about
one of these:

...looks for Scapin website.. fails.. posts more plastic instead:

http://www.sevencycles.com/bikes/elium.html Carb/Ti
http://www.sevencycles.com/bikes/eliumsteel.html Carb/Steel

or maybe one of the 50th anniversary Colnago's?

Either he can spin quite fast or he will be carrying lots of replacemen
brake pads..

He could also fit brakes and just lift his feet off the pedals.. oh th
torture.. imagine getting tired and dropping your feet.

Or, he could have a different gear for every uphill and downhill :-

me thinks Thorn do a 'double-sided SS, having a different sized sproke
either side of the hub so you can choose between the 2 by rotating th
rear wheel. Sheldon Brown has done one too (but then again is ther
anything he hasnt?

As for the dropping feet into spinning cranks/pedals it could wor
really cool if you put 'sweeper' bars on and just 'put your feet up

I was about to say "yeah, definately!" but I have a funny feeling that

My bad.. I'll get onto it..

Yeah, there's quite a range of "flip-flop" hubs out there. Most are fo
bmx use though I think. The coolest one I know of is the Whit
Industries "ENO" hub which is a SS freewheel on one side and a fixe
gear hub on the other. Sheldon probably has a few of the dual freewhee
hubs for sale..

Now you're getting serious :-)

This bike is a dream that's already been achieved :-)

It's not new, but it feels like it. It's real steel. Light. Stiff.
Fast. Comfortable. And it's all mine :-)

It the seat post looks a little more laid back than usual, that's
because it is. 53cm frame with 56cm top tube.

I don't own one, but I have ridden a C50 with full 2004 Record,
including carbon cranks, courtesy of a friend who has one.
Quite nice :-) It doesn't feel as sharp as my Scapin.

Schweet! It looks like an ad shot - very geometric background 🙂
Those forks look cool. Does it ever go out in the rain? ;-)

I did find it the other day, but it wouldn't load, no matter
how much I prodded at it.. it works now though.

Cool, because I'd prefer the Scapin. It's that little bit
less common and steel is still real...
