That frame is not well

Doesn't need the horrendous paint job to be anti, it's a Pinarello, that's quite sufficient.

Is this what that area normally looks like???

Like some weird articulated sex toy?

Yes

Absolutely foul. Is David Cronenberg part of the design team at Pinarello?

Art Director, H R Giger is the designer.

Switch out the front wheel for a normal wheel and I would ride it!

Are those normal size wheels and the owner is a giant?

It matters not, you are still contractually obliged to mock anyone who matches their socks with their front wheel (and run away if necessary).

I wear black socks and haz black wheels...

Not polished alloy? Call yourself middle-aged? Fraud.

Adam Hansen is building his own bike for Tri/Ironman. To be fair, if he pulls it off it's going to be quite the feat of shed-build. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/adam-hansen-is-building-his-own-radical-time-trial-bike/

This was bound to happen, Pinarello in Louis Vuitton branding.
Both part of the same conglomerate now.
This is pretty badly done.

Reminds me of this Ruegamer (which I still think is awesome)

Merida MTB frame, "gravel" tyres, 1x, ends up as a road bike...

Didnt get it either

As much as any right thinking person should hate pretty much everything about that, you have to admit that it does kinda hang together as a coherent composition.

Something very marvel or anime about it. I applaud it’s temerity.

It's definitely come a long way. He's building up one of those new orange MASH frames currently - dying to see if he commits to doing all orange ano bits.

He shows great Kermitment to his art, shame about the Gatorskins.
