Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

A short wheelbase recumbent may be anti to many, but you can do much better than that one; there's as rich a vein in that world as tri-bikery.
Here's a medium wheelbase to get you started.

I get the thought behind it, it's not necessarily a bad one is it?

The interesting thing is that Jaguar/Pinarello went to the other extreme for Brad, and the UKSI bikes seem to have settled on a narrow fork now. They're both using discs indoors, the choice between narrow and wide probably depends on which wheels you're using and what range of yaw angles you're trying to tackle, both of which are very different at Kona from what they are inside the pringle. I also have a suspicion that UKSI made up some wide forks to test, found they were at least no worse than narrow ones and used them anyway to force all the other teams to go scurrying back to their labs to see if they were missing a trick. Never underestimate the role of psy-ops in the Sky/TeamGB system.

Jaguar / Pinarello fashion police stepped in Yo.

The drive on that Cervelo is really something.

That has to be a piss-take, surely?

Considering the position of the tensioner with the chain in the big ring, one has to hope so. Once down in the small chainring there'd only be 3 or 4 teeth of the freewheel engaged in the chain.

why is there a braze on for a front mech!?

Sweet Jesus - what in the name of all that's holy is that?

hahahha.

Was looking at the Charge for sale thread. The OP pulled it pretty quickly...... (on ebay)
b&d yours for £899 or something like that.

It was for sale on here. Think the boss has pulled it now.

The expression "satanic abortion" springs to mind...

No links to a World Champ for the charge ,so that BLB Aventon looks a cracking deal now.

(only paying attention to sales threads as looking for something)

I...what? What is that carbon thing supporting the caliper? Is that just hanging off or threaded through the QR?

On second look it looks like it's riveted or sandwiched into those two holes that are drilled forward of the dropout...

U mad bro?

Throws fixeh in the river

Let's all move on. What is it?

tt circus bike?
