Hybrids / bad mountain bikes / insta wagons / bling rigids - please, i beg, no 700c 😩

The mud seems to be on the tyres but not the frame. Maybe it was applied just for the photo?

Someone should make some tyres with mud printed on. Then you’d not have to get mud anywhere near the bike.

Don‘t really know why but I felt the need to make them a little less shouty.
@AlexD Yap, I had to modify them to make the ring fit.

Acetone/isopropyl?

I would assume so, my mate did the same to his with some isopropyl, took a little while though!

That's gotta be a BlueLug special surely?

Tyres on the cusp again but can't deny the wank if it is a BlueLug build

I think those purple parts might give away the owner...

It's the tyres and triples that catch everyone out

I started carefully with a knife and then just peeled it off.

Am I in the right place

im sorry @billygoat8 and @Ottomanotter the thread you're looking for is here:

i physically cannot stress how important the tyres are, the collective social shame a wanker bike owner experiences for riding their 2"+ rigid mountain bike around town, coated in parts which mean it cannot be locked up, nor make it suitable for riding down a mountain, is the hazing which creates the foundation of this party

if your bike does not audibly buzz while rolling along, chances are it's not passing the entry requirements

these while nice, are sensible city commuters

I think I may have witnessed a new environment for the wanker hybrid beyond the bougie deli bike stand.
The Trail centre coffee shop. I ventured to deepest Perthshire (RIP Desmond Carrington) and found a nearly full car park at a renowned trail centre. After a bimble round a deserted red route and a picnic we stopped at the coffee shop so I could drink a cold Coke and smoke cigarettes.
There seems to be low level scene where it's the thing for Rapha clad centrist dads to ride around the 'skills area' on a wanker hybrid accompanied by Isla bike riding offspring. I had the strong sense that bouncers, normal coke and cigarettes were unwelcome.

Thanks for info.

Can someone pls ID the surly frame at the bottom? I can't read the name on the tt. THanks

its a bridge club i believe!

Oddball entry, I now know I never built it to ride it.

Bouncers, coke and cigarettes sounds more like a club, not a trail centre. I'd rather not be huffing on cigarette smoke at the trail centre to be fair.

Edging up the Auth axis there.

I was going for extra wanker points with a stupid expensive dropper:

Am I in?

With my dislike of secondhand smoke when I’m trying to enjoy the fresh air? I doubt I’m the only one.

WHAT is that front light?! And is it actually functional/any good?
