    It looks like it's melting. And the wheels look like cobwebs.

    You'd have some fun truing those wheels.

    I like the overall arch, but it would look better with a straight seat tube and down tube...too messy as it is.

    It looks like the wheel is made from clothehangers you get from the steamer.

    I'm surprised they let it into NAHBS, given the lack of lugs.

    Maybe welds are the new lugs.

    I hate most of it, apart from the handlebars which intrigue me.

    Each to their own.

    Really doesn't do it for me, it's all over the place.

    Now this, on the other hand is a nice titanium fixie. IIRC he admits that the ti saddle is not very practical but just for show.

    Mmmm, Ti drop handlebars. I'm sure there's a reason they don't exist (like crazy flex) but I still want them.

    What about this? You'd get admiring glances riding this around Dublin. And you can tell the ladies that you wrote Pygmalion.

    looks like something a polish plummer knocked up.

    I don't know how handbuilt it was, but I saw the maddest bike in town today. I was walking down Duke St today and saw this bike coming towards me. The front forks were at a very diagonal angle and as I was trying to figure out what was funny with the bike as it went past me, I spotted that the front forks were crutches. Yes - the type of aluminium crutch that you use with a broken foot/leg. It was only half a crutch and he had passed me when I twigged it so I couldn't see what he had used to join the parts.

    I suppose that when questions of geometry come up here, using the click-into-the-hole method to change the length of the bike isn't something that has usually sprung to mind.
