Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

What about those brake pads?

Not sure that's quite abominable enough to rate inclusion - the XXL head tube and minimum insertion stem sure aren't pretty, but that's pretty forgivable stuff. Maybe if both wheels were like the front? Seems like it was probably a replacement rather than 'upgrade'...

In that era dropped top tubes were a good solution to keep the stack high. Nothing anti about it.

Edwig Van Hooydonck springs to mind. Also it would be unwise to insult that machine as the rider must be at least 6'6" and might have a nasty temper.

Mind you, that front wheel is horrid.

I was thinking, seems a bit of a stretch, and then I saw that RD cage

What's the deal with solid chainrings? They seem to be everywhere. Thought it might be aeroz, but then you see them in gravel bikes etc too.

Aero matters on gravel too

Is that an aftermarket cover for the rear mech, or is it oem?

What frame?

It's a Ceramicspeed aero OSPW https://ceramicspeed.com/en-eu/collections/ospw-aero The outline is hard to pick out because there's a derailleur guard and a SRAM battery in the pic. I think.

That's one of the less ugly Enve stems I've seen to be fair.
