Ye gods! 700c bike at that!

Did they make a special oversize seat tube decal for that?

Can't quite make out the brand on those wheels. Think it needs to be written a bit larger.

They're UUIL LIIT I believe?

So many aspects of that bike are deeply, deeply shit, starting with the bars and stem.

Hang on. I think the valve caps match the tyre colour, maybe this guy does have taste

perfect anti trifecta of expense, effort and grossness

Definitely the best one in a while.

Wouldnit it be fun if this was solid tires..you know for practicality

Black bartape and bdhu and I’d be digging that.

That just looks like a decent bike with all the functional bits removed.

The more I look, the more i like

What is going on with the lower bearing of the headtube?
Has the owner inserted some steel in order to try to remove any play in the bearing? This and the amount of exposed seat post looks very scary to me.

‘Lower bearing’

Yeah, look down those metal tabs is where the plastic clips for cables goes. Can't really find good photo of it, but many forehst models came with it

Never seen this one before either... This sure is one ugly solution for a cable guide.

It's weird because the cable stops are like 5cm away on downtube anyways.

The guides are there to prevent cable rub when turning. It's not a pretty solution, but it's probably cheaper than helicopter tape 🙂

That's some sort of ridiculous anti-lock mechanism hanging off the brake, yeah?
