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

Not totally doing their job unfortunately. I think I need to add a flap to the front one.

No, this was at a storage where lots of galleries keep stuff though.

Yes indeed?!

Yes, tenks. Very good!

nice, but how did it get there?

Owner pushed it the short distance from their house...

I don't know which thread to put this thing in. Put it together this week so I can take the rack and kid seat off my all-rounder. Bar tape will go on when I'm confident in the bar/lever position.

Definitely breaking a couple of rules but I'm curious, why drop bars instead of flat/riser bars?

this surly I saw on eBay surely counts right

Aero bars and a chainring fit for a DJ bike, yep that's pretty wanky.

Also love they went wireless with the RD but the hydro hose routing looks like a 12yo did it.

From the listing "In the last year [since most recent upgrades to hubs + brakes + disks + groupset] only used for x20 minute rides on loose gravel around the Malvern Hills, a few times per week!" hahahaha a true embodiment of the thread. Should have sprung for Klampers tho

Anyone wanna help me decide how to wankerise my LHT?

This is how it was last built up, and it was clearly too sensible. Most of the parts are now on my wife’s cooler-than-mine adapted 90s MTB, so it’s a blank slate that I can gradually ruin with stupid parts and not ride anywhere near enough.

Granola Moose bars are central cos just look at these dumb things. Also for the potential pointless handlebar bag that could go in that loop.

I like the bright anodised thing I had going on here but thinking of switching to slimer green. Silver/black chainset is sweet too so maybe a bargain subcompact Middleburn when one comes up. MKS Lambda pedals are staying too obvs.

Otherwise please help me ruin my bike xoxo

It does look very tank-ish (in a good way).

Big Honjo mudguards would look cool? Maybe a long stem and then bars with loads of back sweep to accommodate, nitto bosco bars? Fluro Magura hydraulic V brakes???????

This belongs in here by @dr.boden, so cool!

It's already perfect mate. But chonky boutique CNC stem and brakes might look good
