Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Slacker than a Dos!

& a cassette!

It's a shame he doesn't say how much that front wheel weighs, I'd guesstimate at least 1kg, with no tyre.

At least 1.8

And how did he not know what size wheel his bike takes.

why the bent seat tube if you have a mile of clearance

lets get a sweepstake going!

What I won?

Buys lo-pro, raises stem beyond minimum insertion point...

Buys Argos, applies Colnago decals...

fraudulent as well as senseless

same reason why to have extra 4 cm head tube at bottom

think this is greg sofley's, but would not look out of place in a caravan on a dartford travellers site tbh

Anyone who knows their onions, will know it's not a 'nag.

Anyone who isn't into bikes, couldn't care less whether it says Colnago or Colostomy.

Which just leaves the "into bikes but not that clued-up" that he's trying to impress.

well

´´it´s life Jim, but not as we know it ``

Ha!

Then old 105 groupset.

I don't see the problem with this.

The cables come out of the sides of the shifters.

Out of the sides.

The humanity.

Why would you spend 1850-2000 on frameset+stem+front hub to then buy cheapish/old groupset? It's nonsense. Plus I think that groupset is ugly.

Why not? the old 105 is hardly inferior, those shifter design are quite comfortable for those with smaller hand.

I spend a lots of money on my bicycle yet put 7 speed friction shift on them.

I'm no saying 105 is bad. I'm saying it doesn't fit the $$$ spend on the rest of the build. Why not buy ultegra?/ Why no buy a better looking groupset?

existential questions thread>>>>>>>>>>

^^ I put an old worn out 105 group on my first 3 roadbike builds because

1. It was what I had lying around
   
2. After spending £££ on the frame I had no money left
   
3. It worked fine
   
4. I find it satisfying to reuse things rather than waste them
   
5. weight and performance difference between 105 / ultegra is negligible compared to the difference made by a frame upgrade
   
6. I wanted to annoy you.
   

1. You didn't buy it.
   
2. Is £££ close to 1600£?
   
3. I already said that.
   
4. 5. Ok
