Dig these dropouts. This is a frame from Vanilla Bikes in Portland.
Holy shit that's pretty.
I believe those are Campy Record Hubs. I'm about to lose it.

Some of us were drooling on a Rivendell Quickbeam outside the Central Cinema last night. My bike is jealous.

pretty and sweet!
Green is my favorite color. And check out those custom fender braze-ons. Honjo fenders I believe.
Any pics of the whole bike?
Erin, did you see this?
We need a new folder called BIKE PORN.

Here's the whole bike. There's another one on the web site that shows it with racks and some crazy-ass looking pack on the front and dual head lights.
I might have done a few things a little differently. Would not have gone with that particular rack. I'm partial to low-riders.
My only issue with my bike is the they could have been a tad more elegant in places. Like adding lugs. Aside from the structural advantages, good lug-work just makes a bike pretty. But, it does have a few additions that are becoming increasingly rare and wouldn't be there had I not asked for them. Like a pump and chain peg.
But yeah, we need a bike porn section. We can all look at pictures of cool bikes and uh, gratify ourselves looking at them.

Nice!
That "rack" is actually just a bag support or for a small ruck sack you just tie on. It is not for panners.

if you don't like the effect don't produce the cause
