[Closed] Unique Bike Porn show us yours!

I have an Indy Fab Deluxe that I had made for me in 2008. I've ridden it thousands of miles, love it.

in terms of titillation, looking at that bike is a bit like watching octogenarians having sex. i imagine, of course i’ve not watched such a thing, asking for a friend...

I think you want the classifieds

Unique you say?

And to lower the price. All very nice but just a little outdated for £2K I would think.

That head angle just looks weird now. It is strange how things you used to see as completely normal start to look wrong. It's like looking at a 60s car - something like a Triumph 2000, which used to be quite aspirational, now looks small and oddly proportioned.

<edit> Don't get me wrong, it's still a beautiful thing. Lovely spec. But....</edit>

It rides well having just missing out on a podium positions at several Uk Singlespeed Championships coming 4th every bloody time.

Anyway enough of my bike where is everyone else bike porn!

agreed - every bike with head angle steeper than (actual) seat angle looks like its been run into a wall hard.

Mind you, the reverse can look like they've landed too hard and snapped in the middle when taken to extremes.

I lusted over a Ti hardtail (although with white forks, flat bars, and black accessories) back when I could in no way afford one. I think I would have been in a similar situation to the OP if I had bought one, a "forever" bike which has fallen by the wayside due to standards. Kind of upsetting really.

And mine is more "readers wives" quality. Fairly unique though

That's the final descent on ssuk yes rich?

It was a great way to finish a great 'race'

It was dream build when I lived in the Midlands but moving to the Lakes meant its outings got very rare, when I do ride it its still great to ride. Not a big issue if I don't sell as I am quite attached but would prefer that it found a new home and I would like a Ti gravel Bike 😉

Not riding that bike is a crime. Put some gears on it. What size is it?

What would riding it be like?

a nasty fall and a broken hip.

A bit like me I guess, unique...

... and the porn part being in the eye of the beholder.

Custom ChiTi frame and truss fork. Rad rigid.

ooooh a Ted James, not many of them about

ooooh a Ted James, not many of them about

Ted's taken over the Bespoked IG this week so it's a great opportunity to catch up on his vast array of builds.

He's local to me and my frame was built beside the trails I ride (Ted's too, but he's a fair tad more gnaaar than me!).

Like this? Not sure if it qualifies as porn, but I think it's rather lovely.

QWERTY - was that Ted James shown at BeSpoked one year???

@genesiscore502011 yes, 2016 👍

Perhaps given it’s retroness we should just be getting a glimpse of it through a large bush

It's certainly not unique, but I'd imagine it's pretty rare and I'm certainly very attached to it...

Loving the Indyfab, I have a Singular Peggasus MK1 & I can't be arsed to post a photo, but for sale if anyone want to swap for a decent lightweight 29er frame with decent geo 😉

How's about my homemade hardcore bamboo hardtail 😁...

Cant show, cant do pics 🙁 but ive got Omega DNA's interbike prototype is 6al/4v. Rear wheel is a ti glide disc in red, the only 10mm bolt through ti glide Ive ever seen. Possibly the only one.
Consigned to the loft for an indeterminate length of time.

Just wanted to say some lovely bikes in this thread.

Really like those Klein's!

Hey Rich - I seem to remember outsprinting you and that bike at sleepless using this home made pos 🙂

Must have been those ickle wheels slowing you down 🙂

I'd say I'm pretty satisfied with the bikes in this thread especially @Daffy 's

Singular Pegasus V2 (1 of 3)

and @postierich 's

Indy Fab Ti Delux

Has it sold yet?

A couple of offers but not the 2K so I will keep and drag it out occasionally  🙂

40th birthday present from my mum, although sadly she never got to see it. Think of her every time I’m out for a ride.

Ample brew very nice always lusted after a MOOTS

Mickr I was probably riding the 24 hr solo 😉 but you can have the win 🙂

Clubby tis nice that looks fast!

@postierich

always lusted after a MOOTS

A lady I work with said it's someone in her family that owns Moots, I'm not sure if Moots had a change of owner & if they did if her relative is the old or current owner. I keep meaning to ask her more about it.

I now own this unique Cotic, although this is how it was when Cy had it. Fantastic bike, not that I have managed to ride it much this past year.

Sorry can’t seem to get image to work

☝️ comments:

A Ti frame is cheaper !

So is a crack ho - but I wouldnt ride one of those either!

🤣

There are some great looking bikes on this thread, and Rich, your blue bike remains my favourite ever bike I've seen here.

Daffy, some amazing bikes there as well.

I'm too poor to ever have anything that resembles bike porn, but the one bike I'll never sell (in fact it is my only bike at the moment) is my Dialled Kobe Ti.

SC-xc the Blue Sunn was sold to part fund the Indy yes I still regret selling it 🙁

I've always had a love for Moots.

That Saffron is lovely!!!

My recent purchase - Shand Bahookie, with Rohloff and Gates - absolutely beautiful thing to ride - "recovery treat" to myself after breaking my back last year - this was the day it was sent from Shand so spec slightly different now (Thomson post, Brooks C17 and Hope stem)

Oh wow!!!!!That Shand is lush!

My Last Glen is relatively unique in the UK, had it for 18months now and still love it!
