Bike porn

that's the joke of the century

He did start a thread on here a while back wanting to swap it for a Laser, or around 10,000. Gone up now. Anyway, he thinks the frame is worth 5,000, and the other bits 7. Said he would do without Ghibli's for a couple grand less.

Nah it wasn't me mate

Never thought you were arrogant ;0)

This topic is leaving in cacahuètes. Tandem is useless with little chainring only, the "tout à droite" doen't work like this ; then rim brakes on tandem is useless for real bicycling.

"frame sets enough for me ,
fork crown especially "

It sure as hell doesn't belong here with that fugly spacer stack, the gash clearances and pos miche components. Not to mention that the frame itself is far from being pron worthy. I can only assume you're trolling since I find it hard to believe that you don't know that it's frowned upon to post your own bike here especially after 10 years of lfgss membership.

Everyone makes mistakes, don't they? There is no need for this kind of response, is there?

As for aesthetics, it's personal, isn't it? Even if this weren't my bike, I would still be entitled to post what I think it's a nice looking bike, is it?

Sorry... removed...

I thought we were only that mean to new people

I can assure you that it's absolutely not personal :) In fact, it's a nice bike imho, it just doesn't belong here. It's just a rule that you get flamed when you post your own bike here, I just took my turn in doing that, but again it's defo nothing personal!

p.s. maybe I went a bit too far, soz. I was just really surprised to see that somebody who's a member since 9 years posts his own bike in here. In comparison I'm an absolute newbie and I never considered posting my own bike here cause it's a well-known rule, simple as that. Sorry if it came across personal tho...

If there is one principle on LFGSS which is handed down from God (or @velocio if God is on holiday and his boss has to cover his work), it's equal treatment for everybody.

Some more general thoughts on the thread. The way I understand it, aesthetics in this thread are not entirely subjective and personal.
This has been discussed numerous times here and I tried to sum it up in one of the earlier discussions.

It should be noted that the exercise of determining whether something qualifies as porn or not does indeed involve a subjective component. However, this subjective component should be understood as a margin of discretion which is clearly circumscribed by a common understanding of what constitutes a tasteful bike.

Imho, the harsh criticism is a vital part of this thread. Two years ago, the bikes that I built were more or less anti and lfgss and especially this thread has taught me a lot about how to build and set up a bike properly. From what I understand, the whole point of the thread was to post immaculate bikes that had been built (and photographed) with OCD like attention to detail. Which doesn't mean that those bike are any better than a proper rat or a sweet funcitonal one, it's just a different thread for a different category/style/type of bikes.

This is not the anti thread. Go be a shitty person there if you must.

I'm mean to no-one, but intolerant of all equally.
