I like the look of it (the frame), but all those shit BLB components are taking the piss.
The whole "bespoke"bike seems to be an exercise in parting a fool and their money

That's some backwards assed shit.

It’s blb, the og anti emporium. I’d expect nothing less.

Reddit delivers. The bottle cages are the icing on the cake.

Aw, rescues from bike shelters are always the cutest.
Clearly abused, I hope it goes to a responsible owner who can nurse it back to health.

The older I get the more posting art-bikes in Anti seems like missing the point of art-bikes...

missing the point of art-bikes

But aren't art-bikes missing the point of bikes?

What's an art-bike?

That's an art bike? I thought it was here for no brakes and front qr wrong way round.

If you put some even more basic parts on it, it just looks like a bike that has been locked to a Sheffield stand while a car crashed into it. Perfect train station bike.

no brakes

It has all the brakes required by law in some jurisdictions, notably USA where coaster is considered sufficient

Bugger jurisdictions, think teeth!

You won't believe how much this chancer thinks his extremely individual bike is going to be worth to somebody else

Ideal saddle for nipping to the shops for some Preparation H

I'm guessing that downhill left turn hand signals are not included in the price

Something just sparked, it reminds me of a dear susan

Product improvement?

Was this built for a one handed person? Coaster brake a better solution for rear, surely. My Mum only has one hand and she just uses the front brake, but carefully

Your link doesn't work for me btw
