Hah, I love my compass tyres, but touring tyres they are not.

Functional is functional. Go back to page 1 to see what it’s about, if you want aesthetically pleasing bikes, there’s other threads. That English is functional and interesting. Is it pretty? Maybe not. This ain’t a thread for pretty bikes. Not every bike has to be a custom blue lug build.

No matter how functional that bike may be it's anti as fuck, end of story.

It's all good.

No, it isn't 🙂

Met this bloke last summer in Harwich:

He even had an extra set with him. But maybe that proves your point...

Fair play to him, enjoying the supple life. Points off for screwcap wine though, I'd wager claßic cork should be de rigueur. They are more functional though...

But bonus points for the Voile strapped percolator. It al evens out.

You’re in the wrong thread, end of story.

Is this a purge? Whatever it is I'm for it. Purism can

It says "not Anti" right in the title, hence I thought..

It also said nor porn in it too.

Forget it.

Forget it.

You’re saying it’s anti in a thread that’s not about anti.

You can always post it in the anti topic.

back on topic.

Yeah ok it might be ugly as sin but whatever...it's just a bike. It's not mine so why should I care? It belongs to someone that build it up as they wanted and hopefully brings a smile to their face. Both anti-porn and porn are the worst extremities of the bike realm and are similar in many ways. Far better and much more fun to break all those rules and do your own thing.

Skip find that still lives.

That’s a banger. What’s the frame?

Glad the English created a bit of healthy, polite debate among you cunts, I mean, us friends.

Ugly is not enough for anti, so I'm off to find something pretentious, expensive and tasteless to put in the anti thread for your enjoyment.

More details and pics of this one please!

can this be functional without a front rack?
