I see Zipp have copied @xavierdisley 's concealed valves 🙂

😄

This is the worst thing i've ever seen. It leaves a terrible taste in my mouth just looking at it.

I was fine with it* till the Paul chainkeeper.

Not really my cup of tea but whatever, the anodised shit appeals to some people.

With a modern chainring and rear mech the keeper surely adds nothing but friction and noise to the drivetrain. Justification - I used to have one, bought cheap off ebay and used on a 1x setup where I couldn't afford/be bothered to buy a narrow wide ring or a clutched mech.

That's a bit of @Dogs

For me it just smells of a rich guy with no taste throwing expensive parts at a bike he will never ride. Youre right the keeper is completely unnecessary but its another bit of purple Paul.

You beat me to it!

will never use that QR seatpost lever as it may scratch the purple post...

Just lazy. Headset and crankarm aren't purple.

The real crime is the Selle Anatomica.

a bit

A bit.

Not sure I'd go that purple. It's a fine line between fancy, and looking like a 90s Toys R Us bike.

You beat me to it!

Careful or you'll be on the shit list with @psg1ben

Now here's an MX Leader fit for this thread, @Chirac. IMHO.

Oof

Rep. You have to zoom in a bit for this one. Sweet baby blue fixie biek with white saddle quickly switches to wait, what?

Hahah the more you look at it the worse it gets

the more you look at it the worse it gets

The best ones always do. At first you're like "just needs..." and then you're "Oh, and...and...and..."

I'm sure some folks love it

Oh you have an MX leader? Nice, I've always... oh.

Chrome bar tape?

Shame the lugs aren't chrome. Would have been lush.

Another example of money not buying taste.
