My dear god... wtf?!

What's the intended benefit of those bars? To get a lower hand position? To make a bike as ugly as physically possible?

This bike is "pre-crashed", so if you crash it there's not so much disappointment as it already looks broken.

Particularly ridiculous as the stem isn't even at minimum insertion!

/r/fixedgearbicycle feels like cheating.

A friend has the same bike as this & its stock state is dreadful. Can't imagine why anyone would ever want that paintjob.

It must be fairly close. On the other hand, it's a very long way from maximum insertion.

The saddle appears to have melted. Also that's one stubby stem. Never been a fan of Lows.

Marvellous.

Ladies and gents, the Santa Cruz Jackal.

dbad >>>

If any one word best describes the Jackal, that word would be "overbuilt."

I'd call it "hideous", but I'm no marketing expert

It's a Look and therefore "rad".

Unless you mean "Look (lol) at the fucking wheels on this awesome Look!".

It's a Look and therefore "rad".

This was the mentality of the colnago fiend and it didn't work out so well.

Its terrible. Finished off by the fact that the owner put Time pedals on a Look
