Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I like the looks and concept, but I wonder how it rides & sounds through the potholes.

This would look so much better with wider tyres

Yeah I was a bit torn between posting here and the eBay thread. Looks better painted rather than the original faded beige...

I'm struggling to find the worst part. What an absolute and total mess.

The lack of brooks tape&saddle combo?

Huh. You can show what something is by showing what it isn’t.

Even the levers are sick of it and gave up

:-o

No braze-ons suggests it was made for wireless. Hetchins stays with aero bars, going for heritage but with all mod cons.

And looks like a threaded headset with a quill to a-head adapter for added anti.

The front end is pretty freaky.

The only thing I like is the white headtube.

Underrated comment :D

What wrong with this except for the strange bars?

That ugly ass fork is what got me.

Mudguard eyes, horizontal dropouts, 1” threaded and clearances suggest it’s an old frame that would have had a band on shifter - doubt it was purpose built for this shambles.

My initial comment was made with the above considered.

Good insight. MGOOF that doesn’t quite work.

so much going on here
