He’s spent a fortune on that munter.

I don’t think that’s what Richard had in mind when we designed the Alpine!

Wouldn't you wipe the dust off before taking listing photos?

'Where the heat was applied the pain is gone.'

Are they sure?

I'll see your Alpine and raise you a Pyga 110 with an 'unconventional' build. I'm selling my frame and was looking for completed listings when I found this beauty.

What have you done to it?!

From the description

Where the heat was applied the pain is gone.

Pain is being applied to my eyes when I look at the thing.

Imagine being proud of this?

He’s spent a fortune on that munter.

He's got to much money and zero taste. I'm actually surprised it doesn't have a Tongsheng mid drive motor fitted to it 😯

Or maybe he looked at that option but couldn't make one fit 😆

I quite liked it. A few tidying mods - like removing the "devil's horns" bar ends and the eyesore pedals, and it would be a bike packing toy. Might add a decent carbon fork and some nicer Jones/Soma bars At least it's not boring.

Amazing... i especially like "The rear dropouts have been altered to track type for ease of chain tensioning"! Seems to be some pain still left in there...
