You can't steer it.

looks like a surgical instrument from a cronenberg film

that would actually sell it for me... :P

Dead Ringers, great movie.

you can with your feet, just toe the front wheel in the direction you need to go

There's something so ridiculous about that thing that I kind of like it.

Would give it a go.

Also, not sure you think it can't be steered?

Besides, steering is out anyway. Fixed steering. Can leans.

"Be on the front row of the urban catwalk"

What you call anti-bike porn, I call "urban camouflage."

I got this frame for a song, when it was mostly just rust. after removing most of the rust, I thought I'd have a nice bike that looks like crap that I wouldn't mind leaving at a train station for the weekend. unfortunately, it was actually sort of nice; so I tried to make it look as ugly as possible.... which made it look hipster-riffic. So I named it Colonel Beardly. but that's another thread.

red + orange + green, with chrome to make it all stand out!

and bare metal from what used to be rust.

and the positives: nice lugs.

So yeah, "urban camouflage." --that's what I keep telling myself.

Hard to see on pictures, but it may be steereable depending on shape of "stem".

But sitting on the top tube...ouch.

Headtube and fork crown are really lovely. I feel it's a bit mean to that bike to put green rims and orange cranks on it. But I doubt the bike really cares :)

Pinarello fork? ;)

Perfectly understandably ugly.

I tried similar but just couldn't help but make it nice... "Just" the seatpost, then "just" the cranks...

This on the other hand, a straight up urban turd.

Tilting the bullhorns and getting rid of the mudguards and decals of back wheel would make it ok.

are you suggesting that bike is as cute as the bunny?

ah, familiar story, someone moves to london from wherever, finds out how expensive the tube and trains are for travelling around. Decides to put together a bike. first stop? blb of course.

Looks like something you might see silently pursuing you, riderless, in a nightmare resulting from a late-night cheddar 'n' cream cracker binge.

After watching the Dr Who with the weeping angels... ;)

Take me to your Cheese Dealer...I've tried this cheese n nightmares thing and it doesn't work on me :P

Dunno if it's been flagged before, but the vast majority of what the official Bianchi Instagram account posts/re-posts is utter turd: http://instagram.com/bianchi_official
