    Ah, come on now, you wouldl't want to the asymmetry of only having one brake lever spoiling the, ahem, beauty of its lines, would you?

    I love the banana holder. Should be more aero, though:

    This isn't the 'Post images of hard man cycling' thread.
    We were talking about that incident yesterday when inc21 decided to see what happens when you decide not to take a corner @ 60kmph, luckily there was more bog than barbs to greet him after his somersault .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,545 ✭✭✭at1withmyself


    I actually really like this design (not this particular paint job) and at the time it was sold as one of the fastest TT bikes ever:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipp_2001

    I remember reading up on it recently and think I read it would still hold its own against current TT bikes ALTHOUGH I believe the frame may actually be illegal now due to lack of triangles....

    I kinda like that for some reason although the geometry looks like it would be twitchy.

    to me it looks like it has been involved in several accidents. Why put an upwards bend in the top tube?

    not sure whats going on around the rear brake but it sure doesn't look pretty :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 271 ✭✭nordicb


    It does look a bit like truck run over it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,549 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Honestly, it really doesn't look THAT bad. Not compared with some of the monstrosities that have been posted.

    The mistake here is comparison. It is ugly completely in its own right. Kill it.

    The De Rosa is absolutely horrendous. It's like it was melted in a fire.

    This is why I wanted the thread to be titled post images of "Horror" much more effectively conveys the feelings contained wherein.

    Also, I suppose this deserves a special category inclusion in the thread even though it's not technically a bike.

    Whoever designed the DeRosa needs to quit his job and give a public apology and clearly state that he will never do anything "creative" in his life again.

    Nah man. He just got knocked into by his co workers while he was drawing it and went with it anyway cos he didn't want to start over and miss the 17th espresso of the day that was due in five minutes!

    As a committed espresso drinker (I've even had real life Italian's declare my espresso "not too bad") I object to that, he would have had the espresso (takes about 15 seconds in a proper Italian cafe at the counter) and gone back to find that an intern had taken his uncorrected drawing to the design dept. Then raced to inform them, but passed a clock on the way and realised he'd have finished work by the time he got there and so went back to his desk, got his coat and left.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭Alek


    (takes about 15 seconds in a proper Italian cafe at the counter)

    As a commited espresso drinker (no Italians ever commented on mine, though), I object to that. Proper extraction takes +/- 25s, besides all the preparation :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,477 ✭✭✭rollingscone


    But at the end of lunch hour(s) or in time for the afternoon rush the guy behind the counter gains mild powers of (highly specific) precognition.

    Bang on! 18-22grams in, 25-30 seconds out, 30 -32 grams in weight. Italian coffee can be shot out in 14gram measurements though and can be under extracted to achieve the desired notes. you generally want to extract to the point you see the creme coming out as the coffee beans releases its co2 but not over the point you begin to see shaky legs. that's gonna taste bitter and horrible. It's sad but i know all these things :(

    The worst thing about coffee in Ireland is the amount of cafe's that havent got a clue. Walk into insomnia or any other big chain, they never purge the group head, never clean the portafilter properly, they've never heard of dialing in (they simpy grind and tamp whatever fits into the basket), the milk jugs are never washed in between uses, they don't clean the steam wand and they assume that value for money means a gigantic cup and over extracted shot. They don't ever even know where the beans are from, they just tell you the brand haha

    sorry for the rant i really am :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,477 ✭✭✭rollingscone


    You're among kin here brother.

    If I do order a Cappucino it's for me, not my pet tiger.

    As a poor person with just a couple of Moka pots (from IKEA no less - the wife murdered my bialetti) I just generally watch for the cream and pour before it evaporates.

    This looks familiar (see attachment).

    I wonder which was designed first?

    Isn't there a variety of those bikes that has an extra bit of pipe for a built-in chain to rattle around in? I've seen one around Dublin. Unlovely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,549 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    They're called the Vanmoof "Jacob Marley".
