Hello, Wouldn't that be an endless discussion here ? :) I think, as probably most of you here, that bikes are a matter of love and passion (at the point that I don't even consider bikes as a means of transportation, that could save my ass sometimes, but no). Bikes only equal fun, bikes smell...

Oh, and I made a video too : Singlespeed Heavy Tools HT Laser :) W.

Hello Antwack, Thank you ! I didn't manage to add pics in the media section so I put them on imgbb : There are some pics that are already on the previous post but the vast majority of them is different ones. :) W.

Hello ! Ooooh yes ! I have a 96 Lava Dome (also a little too little for me) and the first thing I noticed when I used it : very reactive ! Even more than my 2006 Trek 4500 which is in aluminium. Those frames are very nice. I love the brakes too. Difficult to adjust but once it's done, it...

Hello, That's also my preferred color for this bike ! 😍 It almost seems like it was alive ! :)

Hello, The latest of the singlespeeds I built : An Heavy Tools HT-Laser (1993 or 1994) : The associated thread : https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/chrome-and-purple-austrian-vintage-steel-bike-what-could-it-be.482875/ :) W.

Hello, I've started a thread about Heavy Tools bikes : https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/show-us-your-heavy-tools.483101/ :) W.

Hello, I haven't seen yet a topic about these austrian bikes by reading the summary topic, recensing all the "Show us your..." threads. As I have recently built one, I tought it was a good idea to create one (not much of this brand on the forum as I could see so far but perhaps this thread will...

Hello ! I've been busy since the end of june as I was working (that's a big word, more of tinkering with a lot of pleasure) on a frame I've found almost by accident on a well-known auctions site. :) The last bike I "made" was last year, my Raymond Clerc singlespeed, it's fabulous, I love it...

OMG !!! It's like an overdose of candies full of sugar to me ! Medieval water torture but with Redbull instead ! It litterally makes me incomfortable in my guts ! The green of the (false) grass doesn't help either ! The biggest question is : is there really someone who has bought this...

Hello, It seems they are Schwalbe Crazy Bob. :) Nice, indeed ! :) W.

Hey ! Welcome ! :) Nice bike ! The dark colors everywhere give the impression of a shadow, I truely love it. One day, I'll have a Klein, but it must absolutely have a very good original paint and I suppose I must have a goodbank account too ! :D Those paints were so terrific that if it's not...

Hello, Very nice bike ! I saw that the stem was "only" 130 mm. It seems longer, and it turns out that it looks very good. And the colors are lovely and go well together ! I'm not a sucker, color-speaking, for this kind of tires usually, but again, it's nice on this very bike (I saw a pic where...

Hello racecarjohnny, Thank you for your quick answer, I'm looking at the seller's page right now. :) W.

Hello, I would like to know, concerning the saddle. Is that a modded one or an official model ? I mean, those colors don't seem to be seen very often. If it's an official model, is there a reference ? Would that be possible, also, to know the weight of it and the metal used for its frame ...
