Imlach's Sweaty Hippie Funk Collection, adventure bikes, rusty rats, cruisers and other alt bastardisations of bicyclery

[Imlach]

Mr Novocaine was talking about the guy who made the Schwinn. That's the Guy. Just filling out the details. Plenty of other sweaty cruisers on that Alan Bond site too!

I was teasing you

Imlach is refering to the dude in the back ground

Imlach knows who that is too.

*Edit: oh snap, I missed his yellow lines around that fellow... Imlach needs design lessons regarding contrast

No wonder the tyres are flat...

Big frame, but the length from saddle to handlebar is very short. The guy may have gotten his knees in front of the bar while going along.

The bars were flat when he started out...

I shall continue to call these philistines who ruined perfectly acceptable 1/2 ton beech cruisers with their rather dangerous ideas, "dudes".

He must have had very hurty knees, the first 1000 miles anyway

I actually had a nightmare over this last night.

I dreamt I was the Cervelo design and production engineer. A zillion hours spent studying mechanical engineering, researching materials, shapes, production technics, making budgets and renting hours in aerospace wind tunnels, engaging with top athletes for feedback, doing stress tests with all the latest electronic measurement transducers and being there when a great olympic time trailist rode it to victory.

Then I see it on the street. I wonder what the actual fcuk, how it could end up on LFGSS with people giving opinions how to make it "Rad, Sick and Far Out". My life work feels immediately destroyed.

Not destroyed exactly just re-imagined...

Do skinny jeans suck your junk up enough to ride with a saddle at that angle? If so, I might have to try a pair.

The Cervelo, but with some typical NJS stuff for instance, would it be more bearable @Woz ?

After the fixie phase, in my local city out came all the beautiful unused randonneurs, touring bicycles and mixtes from the shed of dads and grandads for students to use (abuse) as city bikes. That hurt my biker heart. Each one I saw pass on the city streets I wanted to take from the hip student, hug and comfort for a while in my arms before taking it home. If only I had a bigger shed..
