beautiful bikes - post them here

I've seen more squeaky belt drives on the trails than quiet ones..

You hear with your eyes?

You hear with your eyes?

You hear them first...then it becomes visually apparent where the noise is permeating from.

The belters we rode on Rottnest Is all had belts and they are ‘ not loved ‘ so smooth and quiet … annnnnnd Gripshift - nexus hubs .

That raw alloy Zerode and Marzocchi Monster is one of the sickest looking combos I've even seen.

So many interesting details on both bikes! Shortened Hammerschmidt cranks are

Yeah I though that was pretty special.

Vented rotors too.

I am surprised those monster t2 forks hold a 29 inch wheel. I had a set way way back and they were an adequate fork.

I was thinking the same thing.

Belt>chain. For the blissful quiet and no need to lube. Perfect. They do look a bit odd though.

Take this sort of chat to the Functional Bikes thread thanks.

Come on, how much maintenance is a chain, really? And call me a Luddite but I'd prefer not to need a bespoke bike for my choice of transmission.

From a Shimano ad about new silver Cues. A Sputnik - handmade bikes from the Netherlands. Very pretty bike.

All good IMO except for the chainring guard. That looks Fugly. A guard ring in polished alloy or stainless would look mint.

 

[pink poodle]

Those brake mounts look so...squared off.

 

[DougalStrachan]

Yeah Chain ring and RD cage should also be silver

Damn this is a sexy bike:

Moved all my bits over to a new Shadowcat frame.

I love this little weapon, it is so much more fun to ride than the old 2020 Mach 6.

Frame feels more dense, but lighter.
Poppy off anything and everything, accelerates out of corners so much better than the M6 (Rear 140mm vs 155mm, Front Same Zeb just with a 160mm air shaft vs 170mm) but I haven't felt a bottom out yet, but the travel O-ring says otherwise.

I have to get used to how quickly it changes direction through berms, almost feels like what I remember my 26" Mach 5.7 being like.

It is about a kilo lighter than the Mach 6 (with X2 shock) with pretty much the same kit.
Large Frame @ 15.2kg with sealant as pictured (Multitool removed from holder, and no Water bottle on mount.)
