Obree's bike

[Stromtrooper]

Looking at the cycling weekly photos of the bike that he is screwed into while down the pub with my dad and he asked a good question. How long would it take to get out if you really needed to go to the loo?

If anyone can make that work, Graeme can....

 

[TheDoctor]

Not sure I'd fancy riding that...

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Is it just me or does that just look like something straight out of some sort of fetish?

 

[raindog]

it's just you Doug

You couldn't ride that if you needed a slash! Look where the 'saddle' is.

Plus, any ballast will slow his efforts.

'Mon the madman!

Anyone who remembers the coddling grinder from blackadder will be familiar with the construction.

Well I hope he has better luck with this one. Anyone remember his last effort where he hand sculpted some alu handlebars for about 2 months (I think he was going for another hour record) and then the bike was unrideable on the track?

Great character and he definitely seems a less troubled soul nowadays.

It wobbles about a bit.

Good news indeed.
