EC1 Collective

I think Neil has got bored of current projects and has been paying jobbing actors to pretend to be awful human beings of HNW, building atrocious bikes, solely for popcorn lolz.

I'm saying nothing.

Five different shades of blue on one bike. Once again this proves that money can't buy style.

Fifty shades of blue. Christian Grey would definitely be in EC1.

What shop put it together?

Shit choice of components granted, but what a fucking dogs dinner of cables, too long chain, and biggest insult of all, not even a set of lightweights or a sniff of Enve just to doff a cap to the fund manager hipsters out there.

That bartape, fuck.

It's light though

I've had lighter

That bartape, fuck.

Me too. I caanot move past it.

Has nobody puked on their own flaming cock yet?

I certainly have.

It looks like the bar tape is puking out the leavers. Does that help?

Look what I found!

What a time to be alive.

Can you reach those brakes from the drops? I mean, they are designed for a flat bar FFS.

You built it up didn't you? :)

Are these lads just doing it for the lolz? I can't believe they've all had some input and thought 'Yep, happy with that, looks the nuts'....?

How can you even use those brakes? It would have been equally shit but at least if they were on the tops you could use them.

I have done better looking turds.

Lighter ones too

I was told by the Cannondale sales rep that the total weight is 5.6kg, and yes, I didn't understand how you could use the levers while riding.
Frame and paintjob looks good irl tho

i am guessing the stem will be flipped to raise the bars so the hook of the drops is where the hoods of the levers would normally be.

or perhaps the idea is that the inflexible munter riding the bike on the tops is going to rely on the brake levers hitting the object in front to actuate the brakes.

utterly retarded vanity project

Q: What are the approximate aero losses of that brake cable routing?

A: None. The bike will never ben ridden outside.

Also, glad to see EC1 respecting cycling heritage by declaring the weight of the bike sans pedals -- that most superfluous of accessories.

No way that bike can be serious...is there?

The brakes are bizarre, the rear caliper is still miles from the rotor in the photo with the black bartape.

If there are significant weight savings to be made by using those brakes over a set of road hydros then maybe I could see the point on a hillclimb bike but a road bike with no hoods position?

5.67kg is pony anyway, must try harder.

@wqvm
oi thats my line

Frame and paintjob looks good irl tho

It would, it was painted by Fat Creations.

What a time to be alive.

I can't stop laughing at this
