Spotted on the street

I am speechless! I have read about this bike and Bugatti designing it specifically with smaller diameter tubes set but I thought it was only on paper and he never materialized this design.

Art Stump. An American engineer turned frame builder, his work is exemplary. I have tried to find better pictures but to no avail, hang on to your hats. Allegedly 1000 man hours in each frame.

Not my text.

In 1937 Bugatti designed a very unique, space-frame, bicycle which was never produced. The drawings for this bicycle were provided to Californian Art Stump in the 1970s by a noted English Bugatti collector who commissioned him to build a bicycle based on the drawings. Art Stump built one for that collector, and one for himself as well. A source tells me, "Art probably updated the...

Centurion was New York but the rest are in Glasgow.
There’s a very odd mix of what seems to be targeted and not targeted here. It’s a special kind of fear having to park my bike next to this whilst popping into Sainsbury’s for some vegetables (probably 3 minutes max)…

Came back a few days later and the shifters and handlebars were gone. They were kind enough to replace the headset top cap and spacers which I found off but there you go

Did you miss the condition of the rear wheel?

I found a sweet little shop in Kensington Market, downtown Toronto. They're making some sick customs from vintage bikes, lot of fixie focus, but some nice parts and cool goodies.

They even had a super friendly shop cat for the Lads to mess around with whilst I talked to the shopkeeper. Check this monster out:
Bars seem... unattainable
It is waiting for a bigger ring. Yes, that's not enough for the rider. Remember, it is fixed gear
Plenty of old Pugs, some Raleighs, a PK Ripper, their own line of titanium fixie frames, a full suspension Klein
Yes, that's a folding Peugeot in the foreground. ThundrrrJr bought some skull valve caps and I got some brown Vans grips for Duck Norris. The owner had a bunch of vintage jerseys too, the highlight being a knitted Raleigh jersey, which I somehow neglected to photograph

Cool looking place. I've never seen a stem mounted below the head tube.

There were a lot of bikes in line for the ferry.
Walked right past a lady on a carbon Spesh road bike and a guy on a Trek Marlin to talk to a guy about his 86 Rocky Mountain
He apologized about the condition and the rotten saddle, said he keeps it that way to avoid attention when locked up in downtown Toronto. I said I got it 100%. Softride suspension stem, colour matched riser bars and Oury grips, the Deerhead shifters... so good. Unfortunately, the ThundrrrFam was already annoyed with me, so I didn't get pics of the drive side. How about the skyline instead?

Unattainable- the human body should not be bent in half. Perhaps it's built for ET?.

you mean to say that you have not always longed to have the top of the steerer poking into the underside of your chin/throat?

...must be some kinda weirdo...

No. Always at least a yard apart. If that's weird, so be it. It's a weak chin maybe.

I have been traveling for work and saw this chained up at the station…
