Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Read to pounce!

Like it even more in this guise. But would be chuffed with either. Fuck the police

I imagine it was to tuck in a 24" wheel against the frame, the wheel would have had radial spokes, welcome to the wonderful world of 80s aerodynamics. Bet the owner had L shaped cranks as well.

Great match for that crazy fork crown. How's the integrated brake spindle! Nuts.

Strange old TT bikes are never anti imo

Yeah fair enough; they're too inherently groovy.

Just noticed that the fork stole my attention away from the oddball BB junction; I guess that's for short chainstays.

I wanna see that thing built up!

Is this anti or is there some explanation?

They bent the forks in the wrong rake and didn’t want to scrap them.

And let’s be honest, if someone rode that in a fixie skidr setup, we’d all have loved it*

*full disclosure I am a member of the silly lo-pro club.

For sure! Needs risers and 1 or 2 disc wheels.

Plus the crown cast looks like a scrotum.

It’s rad, doesn’t being anywhere near anti. If I had £1.5k spare I’d be building it up with risers and double spok. Then it would be anti.

Sick paintjob bro

Good grief.

Giving me severe Angst

I don’t know why but this has me laughing way more than it should.

Wow, couple of exemplars, one from each end of the spectrum. Both superbly awful.

Wondering if old mate regrets his masking tape and rattle can job, and if the Angst Skyblazer leaves any change from 20kg. Also, is it just the angle, or can that boat-anchor can only turn left...?

Whats up with the fork?

Thought it would be 180 degrees turned, but disc side says no....

Mild steel meets obstacle hard. Probably couldn't reach the brake after the 22mm bar slipped in the stem

At least the owner won't have to look at it for too much longer if they're leaving it locked up like that.

I had thought frontal impact. But looking at fork dropouts I reckon the disc tab was welded on to the fork the wrong way round 🤔

That makes sense...incredible, that it still later left the factory, maximum of QC ;)

edit: this thing at alibaba

Other than the saddle, I like this...

Can someone save this condor pls (FB marketplace find)

I feel like this person could have bought a bigger frame and a shorter stem. Also maybe lowering their saddle 10-20 mm might help their back problems. Nice colour. I'd like these frames if they weren't so expensive.
