Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

It's like aligning tyre logos and valves. Probably Definitely no performance increase but you just gotta do it right.

Quite like that apart from the bar tape which is absolute vomit
and the pink bit on the wheel, too much.

Absolutely agree, those are the two things that kill it, the rest is pretty cool.

front hub is also way too much

• saddle angle
  
• brown saddle, white tape and black hoods
  
• massive clearances but tiny tyres
  
  

It’s a god damn abomination.

'A VERY KOOL BIKE WILL STAND OUT FROM THE REST OF THE BORING BIKES AROUND TOWN THIS IS A DISTINCTIVE BIKE !'

well, it's not lying

Honestly what annoys me more than the bike itself (at least it's uniformly terrible) is that every single picture is out of focus and really low quality. I can't even appreciate the DISTINCTIVE BIKE properly!

You'll have to buy it to get a good proper look then

Whatever is wrapped around those brake levers is making me feel sick.

Brutal. Needs more pictures to sink all details (cow skin hoods? What's that helmet?)

it got weirder the more I looked. new ultrgra back mech. and the frame was so lock rubbed it was obvious it was ridden a lot. Looked like a kid got into his dad's collection of nice old bike stuff and put it together.

hoods look like someone used donner kebab as tape

Spray painted pedals with spill on the crank arms is a nice touch.

Surely it's been nicked and ended up in some complete numpties hands.

Block of polystyrene for a saddle?

Is that one of those vanmoof things in the background with the tanwalls? Looks... functional

Spray painted pedals with spill on the crank arms is a nice touch.

Isn't that just the reflection?

haha I forgot what brand the saddle was but it was a 'nice' old tri style U shaped thing. yep that's just yellow from the pedal reflecting onto the spanking new crank arm.

I'm interested if the original price was $1,500.

Bet the saddle had that inimitable TT salt crust round the edges - it's making me feel nauseous and I can hardly see it... can smell it though

Presumably this is still for sale?

Of all the things to focus on with this, but is this a front light? Why is it there?
