Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I cannot believe that fixfixfix chump is still at it.

Thomson layback not so laid back

Remove rear light
new tape
desticker wheel
other seatpost

could be the start of a good build

And...
Proper pedals
Foot retention
Longer stem and slammed
Proper bars
Corrected saddle angle.

Or same stem but shorter drops. But for the rest, I agree

The reverse setback seatpost is still the funniest thing imho.

:)

Or same stem but shorter drops.

Nope. Stems that short should only be used with bullhorns.

Methinks the rider is a new breed of T-Rex. Gaston post + chode stem.

rod stewarts?

I really like that :-/

Do you even spine?

Bike built up back to front.

Chuckled at that.

Do you even spine?

Short person, shorter legs, does like a lot of drop.

Assuming correct fit, that's one of the few people that actually need a custom frame...

Looks like somebody adjusting a bike for a 10 cm taller person by adding mega stem and drop as they insist on an impossibly low headtube?

Each to their own, it's a free country. For now.

Have we not seen somebody (quite possibly the same person) riding with that stem or a clone of it about 500 pages back? And did they not say they were fine with it?

^Yes we have, it didn't look too bad with him on it, just that it looked like an aggressive position

And weren't they posting respectable times too?

Airtightcycles have favoured us with a car-crash of anti-porn quasi-nahbs-wank, the gold spokes are just the aperitif

I can appreciate the workmanship in the frame. I'm not a fan of asymmetrical frames but the brazing etc. is spot on. It's just a bit too frou-frou, rococo, elaborate for the sake of for my taste...

Like flying gates. I appreciate them mentally but I wouldn't ride one.

(says the person who loves a bit of chrome and handcut cut lugs... ) ;)

That look a bit special.

Would be very interested to learn how the brake set-up feel like (TRP + Campag).

What is it with these super sloping top tubes these days. Yes square is annoying if you want a higher headtube or have short legs but that there looks like a MTB...

I'm off to the old people rant corner.

Lighter? Stiffer (smaller diamond)? And a long CF seatpost gives good vibration dampening
