museum quality reproduction - what???

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bik/5810099796.html

"museum quality reproduction" description triggers me. I could make a laundry list of what's wrong, but I'l just save time and say I'm pretty sure this bike was originally spec'ed with dropped handlebars and tubular tires.

Suspect troll posting because it is so absurd and no photos either.

>>1016415
I think it will look fairly nice, needs dropbars though. That whole add is strange otherwise.

>>1016366

I've been looking for a cheap BMX to pick up that I can do this to, except a brooks saddle instead of the banana seat.

Go on Craigslist if you're in the US. Throw in ten-twenty dollars as the highest price, and a bunch of BMX bikes will come up. I'm sure you could score an old 24' or 26' inch to use for the front end also.

Genuinely curious if these setups actually work, like I mean I know they would roll if yoh pedalled them but is the geometry condusive to riding more than 5 feet?

>>1016924
Sure am.

>>1016925
Yea, I know that bike because it was my abortion. It rode decently if you looked past how ugly it is. Hipsters bought it from me for a hundred bucks.

>>1016926
What wheels/tires did you use?

>>1016618

took me a couple seconds
very nice, very original.

>>1016963
They were 80's bmx racing stuff with more recent hubs. Tires were Chinese garbage.

>>1016618
Ecological, green, sustainable.

>>1017670

Yes this cyclist has saved the environment the cost of three sections of steel tubing, minutes whatever toxic epoxy used to attach the bamboo

Oh and yeah the steel tubes were chopped off so I guess really nothing was saved.

Neat stuff

>>1017674
I guess /n/ was never really known for its humor anyway.

The Bianchi got hit and had a bent top/down tube, the guy who made this runs a bamboo bike frame workshop and pieced it together to play bike polo on.

It's fucking SOLID

Pic attached,,,,,,,, this pic is a couple years old--so this bike may not be listed now, but there's prolly others like it on there.

--------

One time on Alibaba I ran across this page for a Chinese place that did titanium MTB frame / parts manufacturing.
Sadly I failed to take any screen shots :(
Almost EVERY SINGLE PART they would make out of titanium. The bearings and cables was literally the only two things I did not find. EVERYTHING else was there.
They were wholesale only, like 50 pieces MOQ. But from the prices listed, I figured you'd spend about $14,000 to have a neatly-100%-titanium MTB built up.

>>1016923
Friction :^)

>>1020567
>100%-titanium MTB
Do not want.
The optimum Ti MTB is a hardtail frame with a lightweight XC fork. The Ti chainstays and seatstays will be noodlely enough to provide some bump relief and still be plenty strong.

Long travel rear suspension is easiest to model with shocks that control rigid elements. This is why the better trail bikes have large carbon-composite chainstays instead of Ti or Al or steel.

>>1019543
BTW that is a NEXT La Jolla cruiser bike with a Brooks handle and mountain bike stem.

3x7...

>>1022383
You're absolutely correct. I was so distracted by the guard that I missed that.

>>1022377

It's also a steel frame and the wheels are alloy

>>1022348
Are those even 700c wheels? They look hueg. Could be optical illusion with the rims though.

>>1022348
It's a Chinese bike you'd get on aliexpress. Likely a deathtrap.

>>1022584

There's adapters for freewheel threading to disc brake, they probably got flip-flop hubs and set it up. Not too bad of an idea to be honest. Probably not safe, but innovative
