The cleanest bar set up ever

Spotted this and had to share. Clearly a new bar tape job, because I doubt a white tape can last long in the wild whilst staying this clean. By while it does, let's enjoy how nice looking it is.
The bike also benefits from some vintage Campagnolo down tube shifters which look awesome next to that nice lug work.

The rest of it is ok too, but the brilliance is in the details here.

The Falcon Road Bike

Check out this Falcon head badge. Absolutely awesome! What's going on here... a fire, a falcon, olympic rings, some trees and a signature! Wow! Kicking rad.

Nice foil logo on the seat tube!

The Falcon logo is pretty cool too.
Not brilliantly locked up, but I think the owner does care for the bike and that's really nice.

Perfectly pulverised Puch

Spotted this old Puch bicycle in one of my local bike racks. What didn't strike me at the time, but seems ever more bizarre the more I look at this, are how many little chips there are in the paint! I can only assume that someone regularly parks it under a cliff face where many small stones fall off daily. Or perhaps the owner throws little stones at the bike, to... find it?

Whatever the reason, they haven't managed to erode this cool stripe from the seat tube yet.

Whether they should remove what I can only describe as this epic metal pie plate is perhaps more personal choice, I think it's a bit rad in a funny way.

Here is this funny, heavily chipped, beige Puch bike with a massive pie plate.

Perhaps the pinkest Peugeot pushbike pictured

Unbelievably pink! This catches your eye from a good 100 meters away.



An unfortunately blurry overall picture as I didn't really want to stand in the rain photographing a bicycle carefully.
