I know the forks are off something shitty (I think it was sold in sport direct). But they appeal to my stupid ideas button.

EDIT: damn it, they aren't what I thought they were, they are slammed zzyzx from hanebrink, they were a damned rare fork back in history.

I like it, even though the riding position looks like you're sitting on the toilet working on a solid number 2.

Yer because that's what ruins the aero.

This is a Moser. I think the double chainring is a thing that was pioneered by a british chap(i have forgotten name) for standing starts in track pursuit. the setup allowed you to start in a lower gear(freewheel) and as the pedals went around a higher gear(fixed) was gradually screwing itself on to the other side of the hub and at some point became the final drive ratio. it involved a very careful setup to make sure the bigger gear didn't bite too early, or too late. i think that is hiw it worked and i beleive i did post this info and some pics previously on RB. can't find any info now, though. It was banned by the UCI.

Club Sweaty just got a new president

Yes, that's is a piece of perforated street sign post in there. Only actual bicycle tubing used in the frame was the head tube and bottom bracket

Custom seatpost too
