So many questions

So many questions

For example: why is the Maxxis logo on the front tyre smaller, even though the tyre is larger?

That is one example yes. Also why road rear mech and small cassette, why is the seatpost that weird shape, why does it have 2 chainrings but no front mech, why are the wheels different sizes. Etc

Standard mtbr really

Tyre is on backwards I suspect

Wut. Wut is happening

why does it have 2 chainrings but no front mech

Because it's not finished.

why road rear mech and small cassette

He ran out of money, was supposed to be XX1 RD but I guess he had the road one in his parts bin. I'm with him on the little cassette if he keeps both rings, although he's also toying with 1× so something bigger will be needed.

why is the seatpost that weird shape

Although the forum thread doesn't say, I think it's half a handlebar...

I think it's half a handlebar...

When you think you've seen it all!

Can't decide which angle looks worse...

I'm worried that it's ergo tec 6 and so before that they had 5 other attempts.

Can't decide which angle looks worse...

As far as I can tell, both pictures show it set at 0°

Adjustable stems don't exactly lend themselves to sweet aesthetics

Sure they do.

I assumed they meant which angle the photo was taken at?

I assumed he was being sarcastic

Sure they do.

Ergostem was what I had in mind when I commented, but I didn't feel the need to post yet another hideous example since LFGSS already has plenty. You obviously don't think so.
