Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Those wheel decals are so lame haha.

I have held my own bike up for ridicule after I rebuilt it to accommodate my spinal injury. but I'd also be annoyed if someone else ignorantly took the piss out of my attempts to carry on riding. Mistakes happen, are rightly called out, the world carries on.

Greetings from about as far away from the UK as you can get...long time lurker....but felt compelled to post this from Tasmania in Oz!

Item description...

'Pogliaghi Pista Track Bike, frame number 13166, this bike has been resprayed at some time in the past, hense the incorrect spelling, comes with assortment of gears, these bikes are very rare and do not come up for sale often, would be a great bike to restore and would be quite valuable'

'Hense the incorrect spelling' made me laugh a lot.

Full link here for your enjoyment:

Nice 1st post! Quite like the incorrect spelling as well.
Hope to be able to post from tasmania too, one fine day.

remarkable

Wow the longer you look the worse it gets

Merits inclusion from bars and stem alone, but that electric crankset is something else... I'd love to see the gap between chainstays and (mismatched) crank arms... Also seems to be wirelessly powered...?

...Ye gods

Battery is in the seatpack, routing through the seatpost

wirelessly powered

I don't think wireless electrical cables exist yet

This is a bike built by someone who gives absolutely zero fucks

Neither do I. But how does the motor get juice? Dude surely hasn't gone the hack on the frame to make the wiring internal?!

If you can make a bike look like that I don't think you'd be worrying about taking a drill to carbon

According to the seller the handlebars can be adjusted

But he fuglied it up so hard, I can't imagine why he'd bother hiding the wires

kind of tempted to spin my stem and bars around just to see how weird it would feel to ride.
then again I have had a couple of drinks this evening.

I like how they've bent the computer mount so it's slightly horizontal now.
