Aende Lo Pro From London Town

FGG generally sucks but every once in a while something cool comes up. Like this one. I know some haters out there don't like this type of bike but I do. Cheers!

More strange bikes here in Rene's pisuto blog.  

Ebay, I love you. Daniel Salmon Track Frame.

Track frame by Cycles D. Salmon, 'Velo Revolutionnaire'. 

'Cycles D. SALMON is the business set up by the 1960s Pro Daniel SALMON, after he hung up his wheels after riding for the Frimatic-TIGRA-Gribaldy, and Kamome-Dilecta teams on the 60s.

Daniel turned to frame-building at his attractive premises in Plouha in N. Normandy, and now (2008), at just turned 67, he is still building. Although he has a catalogue listing various types of models from touring to track etc etc, he is very much a custom builder in the constructeur sense- each frame is built for a specific customer for a specific purpose. Regulars visitors to the Paris-Brest-Paris ride will come across Daniel, at his stand at one of the check-in points, where he will either repair your ailing bike or try to sell you a new one. Fortunately for French cycling there are still a few of the old-fashioned frame-builders such as Daniel still at work. 

He claimed (to have built) the first ever low-profile bike of modern times. It was used by the French National Amateur team. Because Salmon thought it was quite revolutionary he called it just that - le Velo Revolutionnaire, and even to this day his down-tube transsfers still have this name written in them.'

A Giorgio Trispoke Wheel For You, Sir?

Even if some people might say that instead of trispoke aerowheels, or even this wonderful thing, you should nowadays invest your hard earned dorrah on some disk wheels, someone might still think these wheels above look pretty neat. I do, I admit it. 

And hey, look here, one of these nice Giorgio wheels is for sale right now. So you can has it, if you wants.

As if that 'Bianci' was not enough, here's something almost as good.

"This bike is pure nonsense and a trackstander's delight. Not tried it yet, but i suspect it'd be perfect for polo."

'Bianci' Pursuit/TT bike with disk wheels and all...

Here in Finland we are so under-developed that even Ebay hasn't bothered to invade out poor northern country. However, we do have our own copy of teh 'bay, an auction site called Huuto.net. 

Huuto.net generally sucks and nothing cool ever comes up there, unless I'm selling my old sh*t there, of course. Ok, there's been some strange Soviet Olympic Team's Aerowheels from 1980s and other weirdness up for grabs there and some of my friends have scored cool Italian road bikes, something like this here, but still. 

Anyhow, now finally there IS something cool on auction, check this out. Also, notice the next-to-non-existent description.
