Rides bikes, paddles sea kayaks, takes pictures. Life on the road & my home in Cornwall.
… finally got around to doing something useful with my broken Condor Stadio carbon track frame. The ultimate fixed gear bar stool… fully height adjustable with an aerodynamic seat pin for windy nights at the bar….
The saddle is also ‘recycled’ – a cracked, repaired and cracked again Specialized Toupe. No longer any use for riding duties but does fine for drinking duties. I’ve also fitted little neoprene rubber feet to protect the floor :-)

Great design!
i’d patent it quick, before we see very similar £499 Rapha carbon barstools
hehehe, indeed.
Fantastic. Yet not as perverse as a whale penis bar stool I once read about. Do I hear Paul Smith knocking at your door.
You’re so in trouble with the UCI. Rule 10.7.64.12 (errata 6.4, 2009) states “a bike shall remain recognisable as a bike and in no way shall be transformed in to a trendy bar stood, especially for those bikes made from carbon”. Or words to that effect.
oh that’s OK they’ll never catch me, not riding that thing, it’s aerodynamic you know..
Hey Mike
Did you see the barstool made it onto BikeSnobNYC?
You’re famous!
hey Tim, I did, yes.. hehe! I have since sold it by the way :-)
