Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Of course it's a silly set-up, but having followed his creations for a while now I think he can get a free pass on this one.
ATMO of course.

Sure, different strokes and all that. Coincidentally if someone said to me "I only had this old Russian track fork so had to bodge it on with BMX bars" I'd be loving it

seems absurd

Erkkila is an absurdist. You can't judge that bike by normal anti-porn standards, because it is a deliberate piss-take of all the people who put risers on lo-pros in an unironic way.

Ah, so I have fallen foul of Poe's law. I now unsarcastically love it and if I had the skills, time money and inclination (I score 1 out of 4) it's the sort of pisstake bike I'd build

Edit: unless you are sarcastically parodying an art critic to justify a silly bike. Dammit Poe

Edit 2: maybe I was parodying the unaware person who falls for a sarcastic bike

Have seen this in the flesh as it was for sale at a jumble I went to.

The photos don’t do it justice, it’s way more hideous in real life!

It’s a Cinelli Vig under the paintwork.

As a massive pisstake that quite works for me.

Aren't these cages adjustable about 4mm up or down?

Bar tape looks like a large intestine.

Had the pleasure of racing against some dude with the most vulgar bike I've ever seen in the flesh. Wanted to ask him if it was a Chinese knock-off. @Breso ?

Difficult to say from the picture as it has been resprayed!
Sure that’s an eyesore!

100% Fake:

1. Seatpost is a size too small (27.2mm vs 31.6mm).
   
2. Brake cable exit too low on the toptube.
   
3. Chainstays are missing a bend/kink.
   
4. 105, really?
   
   

100% Fake

You can't blame the Chinese for trying to make it slightly less hideous than a real one

The gold one (real or not) is not a Dogma 60.1, but an FP3.

Seatpost looks genuine, same goes for the headset cover, which is often different on counterfeit frames.

FP3 wasn’t high end frame to start with so I don’t see a problem with 105... the biggest issues in my opinion are wheels and paint!

My bad!

I like the fad on the new canyon aero bikes, but that hood...
