They're basically art
I owned the Italien version once, the Bianchi Bersaglieri. Unfortunately it wasn't complete (no chain) and someone had welded non original cranks to the bottom bracket axle.
Sold it to the military attaché from Indonesia for his private Militaria collection when he was leaving Berlin.

Lo
What's really nice is how the shape of the rear triangle is echoed by the Amp. Looks really great together

Handing Out Pearls: Tom Ritchey At The Bicycle Academy | The Spoken
In September 2016 Tom Ritchey, who should need no introduction, visited the UK’s premier frame building school, The Bicycle Academy, for the first of TBA’s Old Skool x New School demonstrations, and it was a learning experience for everyone involved. Tom is one of mountain biking’s most...

One Merry Fellow: John’s Balloon Tire Rivendell Bombadil 29er – john watson
It's no secret Rivendell Bicycle Works pulls inspiration from Tolkien's Middle Earth. Grant Petersen is a big Tolkien fan and, over the years, many of the brand's bicycles have adorned names from Tolkien's writings. When it comes to beings of power and mystique, there are none more significant...

Here's the bike, really rare Bontrager CX 700

‘95/‘96/'97-ish Bontrager CX Custom
So, first of all... Mods: Am I okay to post this here!? It is a Mid-90s bike. It is a Bontrager. I have built it up like a skinny-tire ATB, but, hey, I guess feel free to banish this thread to the road forum, if you must! It is a 700c bike, so I do get it. I just felt like it might be of...

They're not vees, that's for sure, but I think for certain applications, they're sufficient.
Yeah. For me it is more the amount of fiddling it seems to take to get them stopping well versus V-brakes and they seem to need adjustment more often. But that bike has Klampers up front so it isn't a massive deal.
That's funny. I have never found a set of V brakes that I like. I've even replaced them with cantis...
Yeah I know the brake pad isn't aligned there, I fixed it after I saw the picture. But these are much more better than what it came with and match the levers I needed for the drum brake I put in back.
V brakes always feel way too spongy to me. I like brakes to have zero give to them, no flex anywhere. I'm used to stuff that can stand a motorcycle on it's nose with a two finger pull, so if there's flex anywhere it just feels wrong to me.

This is madness, 4 Zaskars!

4 recent Zaskar builds
Over the last month or so I’ve come across a few Zaskars to build. Current slow build is a 3DV Zaskar Another two that happened slightly faster is an ink blue and a ano red. The ink blue is simply missing a nice Seatpost and saddle to finish. It’s a nice but simple XT build. The 3DV I’m...

Bike Piles Filled with Dreams: A Visit to Iron Wheel Trading – Spencer Harding
On a side street of Hayden, Colorado is an unmarked historical building. At first, I couldn’t even find which door led inside. Essam greeted me and invited me to wander around. Before long I'm enraptured with the stacks of bikes and parts that fill the small space. Once I pull my jaw back off...
