90% of the couriers you see aren't couriers.

They generally ride steel fixies i.i.r.c

Yes and they all look generally awful...

Well, when your locking your bike up to those nasty wasty steel railings 40X a day steel is the only gig in town.

Nothing to do with the frame materials...it's the whole cut down flat bars thing, cards in the wheels...etc

And yet none of them ride carbon or alloy? Could it be those nasty wasty sideways knocky wocky's into steel railings 40X etc...never! perish the thought.

I'm ashamed to say I'd actually ride something like that Pinarello during my brief stint as a bike courier in the city.

That bike seems to be incredibly aero. Much much much less frontal area than any other TT specific bike

The Amp goes up to 11 on that one Des.

He's got nothing on this guy


This kind of proves the crank length being a red herring doesn't it

Attack of the hipster, plain cruelty

Previously cracked Cinelli bars turn into that.

Saw this on ebay today......

Not sure if this one has been posted, but I think it's freaky... even though it's stock.



Handlebar angle and hood placement is a little wonky... but the main thing is that top tube into stem look. I would actually like to have one tho!
