as far as those budget fuji tracks are concerned, that really isn't that bad. just looks like a standard budget fixed bike with a cosmic that was probably picked up cheap anyway

wake me up when JC locks his bike to a bollard and whines when it gets half inched.

Jez, as one of your constituents, please, treat yourself to a new bike that fits you.

Seen that courier guy before.

So perhaps a proper fitting bike after his birthday ;)

Harsh. Red tyres would definitely have landed it here, but I don't think the red finishing kit is quite bad enough.

Red tyres would make it even worse of course but the sheer number of suboptimal choices is just baffling. The garish stem and seatpost obviously being the worst offenders but the combined efforts of the bar tape, black inner chainring, black rims, cane creek levers, ahead converter, mtb pedals and brown saddle just make the bike as a whole appaling imo.

This could have gone a lot of places...but I've ended up here.

What people's sketches would look like as 'real' bikes.

Not anti; this is art!

Don't worry, other people have posted it in about 9 other threads already.

Slow on the internet clearly, move along, nothing to see here.

This could have gone a lot of places

It did

I fucking love eBay sometimes

Another eBay gem...

My trusty steed got posted in Anti before but I did make a few changes in the past month.

Yes, the gold RunDMC chain is going but is it still enough to make it Anti? lol I think it looks a lot better.

It's still anti for the old fogies who don't like risers. and risers with negative degree stems kinda look stupid. And it's quite an ugly saddle. But you should spend more time riding it and less time worrying about what people on here think.

This. It would look killer with the same rear wheel as the front, less chain slack and a drop bar tho.
