  • Goatse logo?

    'nuff said

  • Nope

    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
