beautiful bikes - post them here

[cammas]

Is the extra metal because of shit welds, shit design or purely aesthetics? If it's aesthetics they failed.

Different strokes for different folks I guess, if we all liked the same things it would be a shit arse boring world.

Edit: if you didn’t know it’s actually a Trek

I'm not sure I'm quite ready to become a true member the actual forum (#gravelburn), but this thing looks pretty good...

It must be be my inner hipster coming out as I’ve always been a sucker for curved top tube and if you double them I’m drooling

Throw on some flat bars, beefier fork and tyres, some Schrader valves, and colour me interested.

Swoopy tubes.

This was my second choice custom frame maker when I bought my Indy Fab.

Reckon if something happened the Indy Fab I might go down this road next time.

Drop bar swami, boost, tapered, singlespeed(able), matching steel forks and stem, beautiful bikes.

Check out the range, the Hello Monsta and Holy Mountain are cracking bikes too. I'll take 1 of each

Seems like a decent looking hardtail. Then you realise it's made of hemp and bamboo and it's it gets upgraded to a bloody stunning looking bike!

Theres some bamboo growing near me, now where did I put the chux and araldite.

Black Cat bikes are the shizz, I brought the poor mans version the Salsa, always lusted after his bikes, he's been at it a long time

People are amazed he did not sue Salsa, as he designed the SS swinger the Salsa blatantly copied, I read somewhere he said he's not that type of person and was happy that it was being used.

My Salsa doesn't look much different to this except for the price tag

Looks awesome !

Yes you'd need to know your perfect numbers as custom bikes are expensive. Paint jobs and variations over the standard pricing can be astronomical but they should be a lifetime bike and very special.

From a completely unrelated PB article... But how good does this thing look. Even manages to make the shitty SRAM cranks look ok.

It's got a bit of Canfield and Banshee V2 era frame about it. Looks very nice.

Yeah, not sure what size the one pictured is but I've often thought the Cotics look a bit visually out of proportion with the skinny tubes and low TT/ST junction making them look very long and squished, but this one looks perfect. Must be a medium for a change aha.

I suppose its their thing to be long with the Longshot Geo they keep plugging. This one does look mint though.

I am obviously biased, but I actually don't mind it. Nothing wrong with a splash of colour and individuality.

A bit extra for most I'm sure but I've seen far more heinous colour / spec choices.

Think I've still got the white Porcs in a box somewhere...

I can send them to you if you really want to lean into it.

I like the idea of coloured tyres, but i cant say ive seen any that look good. Tan walls are even a stretch in 99% of cases.

But white Porcs aren't coloured tyres*?
