Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

That down tube is fucking weird and fugly.

WTF! Those Weinmann brake levers with the safety levers operating a disc brake?! Must be Foffa's new venture. Prices also point in that direction.

Only just notice it tapers in to where it meets the BB. What's the point of that?

What's the point of that?

Simplifies the assembly if it doesn't intersect the seat tube.

Fair enough.

No!

Probably not anti cos it's easily fixable, but weird maybe? I saw this on a for sale forum this morning. Gave me a small laugh.

Does it barspin?

It's all about that tight clearance!

@mdcc_tester not sure, but doesn't look to. It was an online forum so haven't actually seen IRL. Messaged the owner to point it out though.

@Sig_Arlecchino pushing engineering tolerances to a new meaning haha. You'd be f****d when the shocks compress.

Not sure if this fits here since it's a proper rip-off and not exactly anti in the traditional sense. But I had to post it somewhere since the description is really entertaining in view of the structural damage seen in the photos...

You need this bike for your collection.
Please note that this is a pre-owned bicycle. It may show certain characteristics of age. PLS use the zoom to watch minor signs of use even if its conditions are great)
This bike has a true frame.
Item back is not possible from outside of Europe, anyway in extremely case for reasonable reason.

I'm not convinced that frame is straight down the middle... What an utter shitheap

I don't get what anti about that.

That's proper shit of them, list it with a dozen pics of it pre-crash and then try hope people buy it. Ebay is full of cunts.

Strange stem situation going on, sticks out a lot from headtube but has negative rise...

Gotta admire the "I'll tour on any bike!!!" approach :)

Just messaged the seller asking if that Willier had been crashed.

NO il hasn t. Just top much time under rain I supposed. Frameset has no dent but rust but not structural damages. Pls look all pictures, if someone is be able to re make cromovelata ( I m not and I sell items quickly) it is absolutely a good deal ....

Hah, no structural damages my arse, he even took close up shot of the ripple;

Hah, no structural damages my arse

Also: how stupid does he think people are? "A fork like that, geez, how did that happen? And I wonder what possible effects it might've had on the frame..."

that fork bend?
that's just heat treatment

That colnago looks cool. Makes me want to ride my bike.

ha! Probably acid rain which melted the frame ;) sounds like a 'reasonable reason' to me...
