That makes my knees and quads ache just looking at it. Glad to see him
out having some fun though.

Thanks for posting!

Note the handle bars. Only a mono extension. I rigged one up on my bike
and rode it all last summer. Not too bad, but not as stable as a duel post
extension. Lot of people told me my bike looked like it had a penis
sticking out the front. Others said don't bend over in front of my bike.

Yeah thanx for the post; glad to see he ain't a vegetable.

Does anyone know if the glasglow couriers team are full time bike-couriers,
or just sponsored team members ( other occupation ?)

I missed that. Thanks.
With the mashing he's doing to push that big chainring(does anyone know
if he uses short cranks?) I'd be worried about removing that kind of
material. I wonder what kind of lifespan he's getting from a frame?
Can't make out the badge either, Raleigh maybe?
Hey Richie what's your take on this?

While I don't see the purpose of the cutout, if it's a dedicated tt bike
it'll have a better lifespan than an overweight guy on a thin gauge steel
Bianchi.

I don't own a Bianchi and my industrial lugged bikes have held up,
possibly because I'm afraid to ride some of the right now.
Seriously I'd be interested in how the torque Obree generates effects
the cut out bottom bracket. Screwing with the swingarm on performance
motorcyles really worries me. That's why I'm curious. One of my friends
who races a "historical" Norton had big problems with breaking swingarm
bolts and cracking welds in the arms when running modern performance
chains. That huge chainring and Obree's power are going to put a lot of
torque into that shell, but I'm sure you're right about the fat asses.
