Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

The horror...the HORROR... :/

surprised it hasn't been added to the porn thread

If they respayed it in a shite matt grey, it could be posted on the modern porn thread :-(

It nearly was...... Then I spotted the beer bottle lid top cap. Sadly that sealed the bikes fate.

I like the front mudguard.

Good that they've addressed some practical issues.

Those brake levers..

..belong on the back of a tandem

Don't think it's that silly to have them on brakeless. It's only for the hoods

.

Am I missing something, or is that a particularly ugly full stop?

It's the worst ever!! So, so bad.

We need to see your truly hideous colon. Wait, on second thoughts, maybe not.

I've got a really sloppy ampersand if you want to see that?

Were the levers always 3d printed? or is that new?

Were the levers always 3d printed?

Are they? I thought they might have had to make a new injection mould and decided to add some texture the easy way by missing out the finishing pass on the mill.

It would be odd to go from injection moulding to additive manufacture unless there was such a huge design change that it became impossible to mould them, because injection moulding has a unit cost orders of magnitude lower on the sort of volumes they're making.

Are they?

If I had to bet my money on it, I'd say they were. Maybe they needed a picture quickly and resorted to 3D printing it? This is what the 'finished' one looks like:

The previous picture does have the characteristic 'droopy lines' and you can also see the crossing lines which you often see on 3D printed objects:

But hard to say for sure.

I had forgotten this existed

a horse for a course?
