Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I will die on this hill.

I will die on this hill

You need to narrow that down a bit, you could die on almost any hill if you were riding a Klein Mantra 🙂

Get your ruined Indy Fab here.

That is fucking cool

Stop being mean to Malcolm!

What is the sock for?

I can’t help that it looks like some scaffolding has collapsed on to a pile of bicycle components.

I know it’s a Moots but Malcolm has taken a severe beating with a (titanium) ugly stick.

Porn (except for flat tyre)?

Whats the purpose of that stemprotector(?) protecting the stem from mud so you can re-sell as MINT 20 yrs later?

Edit: gotta love white grips on an mtb

Whats the purpose of that stemprotector(?)

It's not a stem protector, it's a testicle protector. Back in the olden days when anybody thought that bike was a good idea, there was also a prevalent concern that the sharp edges of the new-fangled AHead stems would do serious damage in the event of a crash. It was the same concern which drove the wedge-clamp stem designs such as the original Thomson among others.

aka nard guard.

This looks like each tube was designed by a different person and that they never met.

I'm going to need more evidence that anybody designs for Pinarello. I just assumed that they threw rolls of pre-preg in a trash compactor and painted their logos on the results.

was this bike left near a radiator

LOL

Many thanks

(Although it does not look very testicle-protective to me)

Custom painted synapse anyone?

Loads panniers with bricks for massive wheelies
