Yes some of us have seen that amazing movie.
And obviously we seem incapable of posting classy bikes. How about a rule for this thread? You must post one classy bike per three posts in it.
It would be pretty sweet if companies that make racks and bikes alike put out limited edition racks to match the bike color that year, at a lower cost than what it might cost to get them powdercoated.
^ - The bike belongs to a poster on the Classic & Vintage section of Bike Forums. I forget his name (and BF is down right now), but if you peruse the Before & After pictures thread, you’ll find the owner and his story. That thread is worth reading anyway, since it’s full of awesome bikes like that.
In other news, I’m totally buying a hatchet for my bike.
That’s it… I’m getting a front rack and bar bag. Tarckbike what do you like, Nitto M12 or Velo Orange Randonneur? Cons of either are completely aesthetic: the Randonneur will require p-clips to fit on my crosscheck frame, and the m12 sits higher and can’t really be adjusted for levelling.
So, pretty much a gentleman has to ride a bike in an upright position, have equipment to prevent both the carrying of any cargo on his person and road spray from damaging his riding tweeds, and have killed an animal for something to sit on (and in several cases, something to hold on to)?
