Too jazzy?

Motorbike thread >>>>>>

Hot glued BMW badge onto random CF tube is a proper touch.

Ah of course a bike specially build for modern urban fixie racing on a flat karting track

@amey ‘s latest?

You think its not legit?

Some brave choices, but some odd ones; Deltas are pretty but don't work, 7900 cranks are hideous but functionally superb.

Its like a road bike version of the wanker hybrid

Same vibe

what witchcraft be this???

It's set up for aero wheelies

Functional thread?

Not enough wank

Hot glued BMW badge onto random CF tube is a proper touch.

It is the icing on the cake. Perfection for this thread.

Interesting welds seen today, down the bike shed..

They're supposed to ride really well. Frame, fork and shock designed to work together. fugly though

They say not to shit where you eat so I’m not posting a pic of the actual bike in the shed at work. But I’ve noticed it a few times. It’s one of these. Looks way worse IRL.

Though at £239 without the silly wheels it’s actually a bit bargainacious.

Trust me it's no bargain. Heavy heavy steel frame, bottom bracket shits the bed within a month and the hubs soon follow. The "regular" wheels break spokes like crazy. I had one come into my shop with 8 broken spokes between the two wheels. We told the customer to just get new wheels.

Saw this home bodged ebike beauty a few days ago at work
