Today I visited the bicycle collector Neal Lerner and photographed some of his beautiful bikes. I am posting pictures of these two in particular - not only because they are rare and stunning, but because the owner is offering them for sale [note: both bicycles are now sold]. Here is more about the bicycles, for your viewing pleasure and for longevity:
The loop-frame bicycle is a 1938 Raleigh Lady's Tourist. This model was the predecessor to the DL-1. The frame is 22" with 28" wheels. It is a similar bicycle to the one I wrote about here; only this one is in ridable condition.
The main difference between the earlier Tourist and the later DL-1, is that the older bicycles are not quite as long - meaning that there is less distance between the saddle and handlebars. At the same time, they look "taller" than the DL-1, because the head tube extends quite a bit higher. Another difference, is that the older Tourists have a lugged connector between the downtube and the "loop" top tube which is absent from the later DL-1 model.
The handlebars on these older models are quite short and narrow - which makes sense, because of how closely the rider is seated to the bars.
The bicycle is in ridable condition and rolls surprisingly nicely (I've ridden it for a short distance). The shifting needs to be worked on (the gears slip) and the rod brakes need to be adjusted, but it is a stable and buttery-smooth ride. Sadly, there is a piece missing from the rear of the chaincase; it is so difficult to find these chaincases intact. The shifter, saddle and grips are replacements and are not original to the 1938 model.
Being from the WWII period, this bicycle has some "blackout" components - including the headbadge.
The second bicycle in the pictures is one I'd never heard of before: It is a 1948 Raleigh Dawn Tourist. The Dawn Tourist was apparently the predecessor to the Sports. It was lighter and more agile than the original Tourist, and featured a straight step-through frame instead of a loop frame. The frame size of this bike is 21" with 26" wheels.
Unlike the later Sports, the Dawn had rod brakes, just like the Tourist did. However, its handlebars were wider and had considerably more "sweep".
The seat-cluster of the Dawn looks just like that of the later Sports (whereas the seat clusters of the original Tourist and the later DL-1 were bolted together).
The rear fender with original glass reflector are in very clean condition on this bicycle. These reflectors are highly thought after (both of the bicycles pictured have them).
The middle bit is missing from the original full chaincase, but otherwise it is intact.
"The all-steel bicycle" is written on the downtube. The pain on this bicycle is in very nice, even glossy, condition throughout.
It is rare to see even one of these bicycles "in the wild", let alone two - so I felt privileged to take these pictures before these beauties go to new homes. Hope you enjoyed the show and tell.

Excess in the Bicycle Industry: Explanations and Implications
[Aurumania crystal and gold track bike, image via forbes.com]
A couple of weeks ago, Forbes published an article on "The World's Most Expensive Bikes". Readers have been sending me links to this article asking what I think, until finally I gave in and read it.
Glancing over the pictures, I noticed a strong trend for gold plating, crystals and diamonds - the usual when it comes to "luxury bikes". It made me wonder how much of these bicycles' price was due to ride quality (can they even be ridden?) and how much was due to the decorative elements.
[KGS custom Parlee bicycle, image via forbes.com]
I was also surprised to see that I actually know someone whose bicycle is on the Forbes list (not my cup of tea, this bike, but I understand that some people like to race on such things). Kevin Saunders of KGS Bikes is an acquaintance (now also a sponsor, but initially an acquaintance) and the proprietor of a custom bicycle shop in San Antonio, Texas specialising in roadbikes that promise the "perfect fit." While admittedly high end, I did not think that most KGS bikes fetched the kinds of prices featured in Forbes. So I asked Kevin about it. His answers were pretty straightforward, and I include them here in response to this discussion on Chic Cyclist (see the comments section):
Velouria: Kevin, how do you justify your $32,000 bicycle that was featured on the Forbes list?
Kevin Saunders: The bicycles in that price range that we have created were commissioned as one-offs. (They were also done prior to the Recession that started in 2008.) A price of around $18.000-20,000 is where we find the line between premium (where more expensive components actually perform better) and luxury (where more expensive components may have a special finish or paint job but do not actually perform better).
V: So special paint can cost over $10,000?...
KS: Yes. Some fringe exotic components and one of a kind paint jobs (that includes not only the frame but all the components as well) can mean the difference between a $22,000 and a $32,000 bike. Our price for this is based on actual cost plus a reasonable markup.
V: And performance-wise, would a client even notice the ride quality difference between, say, a $10,000 bike, a $20,000 bike, and a $32,000 KGS bike?
KS: Performance wise, the difference between a $10,000 and a $20,000 bike is significant. There is almost no performance improvement to get to the next level (up to $32,000 or more). The only value above the $22,000 price point is artistic.
So, if I understand this correctly, even if you try to build a top of the line bicycle for competitive road cycling with full custom geometry and the highest performance available, the price will top out at $22,000. Anything beyond that will be mainly decorative. Keeping this in mind, consider that some of the bicycles on the Forbes list are priced at over $100,000.
So what are the implications of such bicycles existing? The "designer bicycle" not only goes beyond the typical prices of custom builders, but specifically presents itself as a luxury good - incorporating costly decorative materials and accessories from haute couture houses. The "Fendi Abici Bike" I wrote about last year is one such example. There have also been similar products from Hermes and Chanel. Based on the feedback I have read about such bikes so far, cyclists in the blogging universe tend to be critical of excess in the bicycle industry. And this applies to accessories as much as to the bicycles themselves: When ecovelo wrote about a Brompton leather briefcase that retails for $600, some readers questioned that such an expensive bicycle accessory was allowed to exist.
My view however, is that the trend for "luxury bicycles" is great. Bring on the gold-plated framesets, the diamond-encrusted derailleurs, and the haute couture panniers! Even though I would not buy any of it, I am glad it is there. The trend for cycling-related luxury goods is a positive one, because it successfully combats that stereotype we all know: The stereotype of cycling being something people do because they either cannot afford a car, or are part of some weird fringe subculture. Rather than making people feel guilty about materialism - which is after all, a basic trait of human nature - this trend takes advantage of materialism to make bicycles appealing for people who otherwise would not have been drawn to them. Think about that the next time you curse that luxury car cutting into the bicycle lane. Wouldn't you rather they were riding a luxury bicycle?

Computer Games
I have never liked computer games, but with the influence of the Co-Habitant I am finally starting to get into them.
Here he is, taking a break after a particularly heated round.
What you need to play: an open road and a fast bicycle. Challenging hills can be introduced after you pass Level 1. Oh yes, and of course you'll need a computer.
After I mocked the Co-Habitant for putting one of these on his own bike, he decided that I was just jealous and got me one for Graham (my Rivendell Sam Hillborne). I reluctantly agreed to try it, and quickly grew to love it - much to my dismay, as there is really no attractive way to attach these things to a bike.
For those not familiar with it, a bicycle computer is basically a speedometer with some extra features. Mine tells me: distance covered during a trip, current speed, maximum speed during a trip, average speed, and total distance covered so far (since installing the computer). There is also a clock, which is handy since I don't wear a watch and extracting my mobile phone requires stopping the bike. If you are training yourself for touring, the bicycle computer helps you measure your progress in terms of how fast you are able to cycle. Keeping track of the distance you have covered is also useful. My top speed so far is 27.4 mph (44.1 km/h), which I reached the other day on the hills in Maine. I know that to the roadies out there, this is far from impressive. But for me, it was shocking to learn that I was capable of cycling this fast. 27.4 mph is of course a downhill speed, but on flattish ground I was consistently cycling at 16-19 mph.
The Co-Habitant is faster, so I guess he won the computer games - and probably will continue to win for a while. But who knows, maybe someday I will catch up.
The main thing that makes me lose speed, is fiddling around with my shifters. I don't shift gears on my usual rides outside Boston, so whenever we go to an area with real hills it takes me a while just to get comfortable with shifting. The Co-Habitant thinks that my friction shifters are an affectation, and if I got "brifters" (brake levers that contain indexed shifters within them) it would solve all of my problems. I feel attached to my wonderful silver bar-end shifters, but I do see his point.
For those interested in touring or in cycling for sport, the bicycle computer can be useful and fun. But beware: Once you have one, it can also get addictive! I know some people who have one on every single bicycle they own and are incapable of cycling without knowing their exact speed or distance covered. I am not likely to suffer this fate, but I am glad to have a computer on Graham. And a question for the randonneurs and roadies out there: What speed should I be working toward for touring and for club rides? It would be great to know where I stand.

Honda Vario Street Fighter Modification
Honda Vario Street Fighter Modification
In addition to being a student, a man whose name is also Fhilips Kristianto modif motor pursue even casually modif motor, but thanks to keisengannya modif Fhilips motor bike did not think the number was called as The Best Black Bike. With the motor diusungnya Vario Mototodify for the event, 19-year-old man is taking the concept of Street Fighter motorcycle.
Concept selection is to suggest a more sophisticated motor and has a sporty impression, when seen from the standard form of this motor Vario has been amended nearly 100 percent,
"The concept of my motorcycle Street Fighter made its name, the reason being I feel the concept's motor Vario usually matic she seems shallow, if I input the street fighter-class seems a little bit forward to the sport. So basically I like motor sport, so I have a plan to make Vario a motor sport, "ujarnya.Sedangkan the percentage changes were made to this Vario Fhilips says," 100 percent change ".
To change the motor is more focused on the motor body and legs, about the engine and framework embedded into it still relies on the original manufacturer of the Vario, "Only the innate Vario wrote the same machine next order only". Taking an idea from one of the automotive media, make changes to Fhilips Vario by removing some of the body and the legs of the original factory built, "If the change of the motor, rear body already using CS 1, the body behind him dicustom, let me put sweet little cover below same order triggers Street Fighternya, the leg-foot radius of my car put acrylic halved, measured and dibubut, so all the legs using acrylic. If most of all custom wheels ".
In order to look sexy, then change the order back Fhilips while to show the impression of street fighter extended handlebar. The man and his motorcycle the first time come to Djarum Black MOTODIFY contestants did not think the bike serial number was called as The Best Black Bike, "Nah aja ya thought suddenly summoned cuman yes I pray it is successful," he said. Fhilips added, "I am feeling very happy, yes, indeed I hope to catch The Best Black". For the final plan later Fhilips will complete the front legs let more robust.

Yamaha Force 1 Racing Modification
Many categories are contested in the contest modifications MOTODIFY Djarum Black, one of which is the category Racing Look. In this category Yamaha Force 1 has been brought home championships in the event that took place in Building Pontianak Convention Center (PCC) Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Sunday (8 / 11).
Starting from his favorite racing motorcycles will then Yamaha Force 1 was made with the typical style of straight track racing, or commonly known by the term drag bike. "The idea originally was fond of racing, the drag created by the force," explained owner Murhadiansyah the modifikator. Youth are usually called Dian does not require a long time in the cultivation of the bike to snatch the title of champion in the class Racing Look. "The work of the paint and chrome finish in four days," said the youth was 22 years.
The resulting color looks quite dynamic, dominated by candy tone orange color all over the frame and chrome on the legs look very eye catchy. Plus more detail in some parts of motorcycle racing is featured impression, minimalist style is characteristic of this straight track racing.
No wonder the jury was ordained as a drag bike champion. Pontianak is the original man the first time the motor modification contest. "At first I joined just a fad, not thought to be a champion," he explained. "I am very proud of this victory because initially only casually just joined the contest," he continued. Not in vain that the cost of seven million dollars spent to overhaul the total Force 1.
As a drag-based motor bike, not much variation or accessories that are attached to the motor. Motor designed specifically for minimizing any speed contest shape. There is no cover body, lights, seats and even the fuel tank removed and replaced with a smaller size. Some parts of the motor was replaced as the standard carburetor carburetor gambot evicted owned Yamaha RX King. Stang was changed to standard handlebar pins plus custom spontaneous gas belongs to the smell Kitaco racing on this bike more and more viscous. On the legs are made as thin as possible. Aluminum alloy which is relatively lighter than the standard of choice and wrapped thin tires. To the suspension of the motor lansiran year 1996 adopted a self-Posh brands. Because this bike is designed just for the contest, there is no change in the engine. "The engines are still the standard, nothing changed," he explained.
