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

Interested to see what the official position on this is. I understand Straggler, double etc… but it just has so much wank going on

Was just about to post these myself, lovely build with the matching Paul/Chris King finishing kit! The sim works bubbly are the least lairy thing on the build which actually looks pretty slick matching the front hub.

It's matching the pedals to the disc rotor that really seals the deal

White Industries though. Wank. Was gonna post that earlier actually but thought it was a Re. You can't lock that thing up for love nor money.

Oof can’t believe I missed that front rotor

wanker bingo

Edit...aww snap @AlexD

Repost of a repost of a page 3 stunner

Ah balls - I did check if it was a re but clearly missed page 3!

This thread kind of makes me wish I'd splashed out for Paul brake levers for my Softride because they're quite nice, but also kind of not because apparently every man, woman and child has a pair.

no biggie... it's the #wankbrid equivalent of pengy

cornerstorechillers seems like it may be a promising source of future content for this thread.

A couple of (non-forum) mates were lusting over it yesterday. The only thing I could really get enthused over was the cable housing, which is a pretty interesting colour.

You could be right about that, quite a few really nice builds on there!

That Surly Karate Monkey is a wet wank dream!

Limp corporate clone of @Maj Homer?!

This actually looks really good.

What’s the position on Brooks? All ok? My gut says leather=no, cambium=yes, but then that probably rules out a lot of otherwise prime wankerery.

I was under the impression that leather or not brooks are at home on a wank bike

Yes you’re right. Leather brooks is wank, but not sub-wank.

If it’s just a fancy drive-chain and brooks with no other wanky bling I would argue it’s just a sub-wank then.

stolen from ealier in the thread.... if a chap wanted get a set of handlebars as per this pic, what would one look for.......!
