My lawyer said more evidence is needed.

I think that belonged/belongs to @nycjames? The post to which @hampco linked mentions James by name and linked to his flickr stream, and i think this is the same bike?

Rim brakes (?)
Level TT (?)
What is this world coming to?

Love it.

I'm posting this because I just spent half an hour looking for the photo and Martin built the (MAX) fork.

It takes a 32mm tire just fine. Plus Neutrons, rim brakes, and Pavé, of course.

Don't know, but these things give me hope.

One might say that @hampco at least implicitly encourages traditional aesthetics that many of us find pleasing.

Many of the bikes/framesets made in the past year (starting with post 429) have a level TT and rim brakes, including my own frameset shown in post 438, which accommodates 35 mm tires.

Steve…those look like Nemesis rims to me…brass valve weight. I’m running Neutron tubs on one bike and Record/Nemesis tubs on another so I’m not complaining. ;)

I meant "Nemesis", wrote "Neutron" - senility creeping up on me.

That must be the most fender possible under those brakes. Well done!

I'm pretty sure I mounted those, didn't make a dog's dinner out of it.

Is there a coupler on the top tube too? Is this system titanium frame only or can it be done with steel frames too?

Yes there is and there are steel couplers available.

One on the top tube, and one on the down tube.

More Bingham-built loveliness, takes a 32mm tire with ease:
