took my old MTB to the bike shop where they were taking donations and spotted a bianchi ...pinella, i think? lightweight frame from a few years ago apparently, made from some exotic-sounding boron steel mix. pearlescent celeste, with athena 11, really beautiful.

all those 12-14 lbs steel bikes, whoa. not into that rear brake thing w/ the nokons. i generally like the aesthetics of the bikes though.

I think the craziest bit is the cog for the chain halfway down the frame. I'm assuming it's only purpose is to stop it dragging on the floor!
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 7 September 2011 12:38 (thirteen years ago) link
It must almost ride like a recumbent.
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 7 September 2011 12:39 (thirteen years ago) link
not that crazy, most recumbents have that second sprocket
― caek, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 12:57 (thirteen years ago) link
although recombents are obv ipso facto crazy
I think it is basically a recumbent, only not very. I'd love to have a go on one - does your neck not ache?

I just put a bid on that moser. Recon i can build it out very cheaply with downtube shifters and other stuff from Kaynicks and bicycle heaven.

I've really talked myself into it remembering I have an appropriate stem, chorus crank and brake calipers in my parts bin.

― am0n, Friday, 30 September 2011 15:44 (thirteen years ago) link
i think what they mean is that the frame is out of alignment, as is the fork

um, it's a non standard use of "tuning" as i've not heard it used with bikes, but i'm thinking he means high performance upgrades/mods, not frame defects
like import tuning
― yeah, niche-y, that's what i meant (Hunt3r), Friday, 30 September 2011 16:22 (thirteen years ago) link
like, give it lots of carbon doodads and di2, or fork ends out back and flat bars
― yeah, niche-y, that's what i meant (Hunt3r), Friday, 30 September 2011 16:23 (thirteen years ago) link
otoh, his front wheel looks really close to the downtube, the fork looks slightly not quite right.

always reminds me of a tweet from a few weeks ago "I don't ride a bamboo bike, cos my name's not Gilligan"
We were on a ride earlier in the year with a couple on them, they look pretty good, right up until the carbon lugs start delaminating away from the bamboo and the back wheel threatens to drop off.....

get the professor to make you a coconut helmet
there's a local shop here that has a few bikes w/ wooden/bamboo accessories like so:
