Fat tubes & skinny rims

As the title suggests, a place for bikes with thick tubes (aero) & shallow rims (box section, climbing). Training wheels vibes if you will.

This is also a safe sace for hate on deep rims & skinny tubes (far less aesthetically pleasing).

This is a good place to start .

Some more appropriate candidates to kickstart things. Good stuff from @Elpolo & @getoutofbed

It's probably quite a Marmitey look. I personally find it looks much better than than more common reverse of skinny tubes & deep carbon wheels (often spotted on MGOOF).

TT bikes sold with the most basic of wheels are banned here BTW.

Possible contender.

I don't own this any more, but here you go...

Touché!

Perverts.

I normally dont like the look of modern road bikes but the red one is so good

Yes! Always loved the look of tiny tubular rims on chonki track frames.

Although the tubing isn’t that fat, maybe my Seta fits in here?

Hmm

Since spreading hate is accepted here;

My old Fuji probs fits nicely into this somewhat niche thread.

Underrated genre 👌

Spooky bikes always look really good with shallow rims.

The spookys are neither fat tubed nor "really good"
