Bike porn

Mine should have been here by now, but they seem to be stuck in back order hell.

A scanjob, but check out the paintjob, fucking neat, especially the seatpost and stem;

thanks MArk.
I just got it back from the paint sprayers yesterday and built it up.
Swapped most of the bits over from a Giant Bowery.
I'm happy with the results.

readers wives??

boils oil

almost everyday this happens!

Threaded headset + threadless stem = anti-porn

Cranks built to clear fat MTB stays on a skinny steel road bike are pretty grim too.

Truly readers' wives - as in not as hot as the proper porn.

Ah... is that why you guys object to "Readers' Wives" so much?

Makes sense, I had figured it was just a quirk...

I was thinking maybe it was just me who this wasn't doing much for...

Personally, I think it's just a bit obnoxious to add your own bike to a 'porn' thread..

If someone else deems it porn then fair enough

yes...it's really bad isn't it.
terrible crime.

punishable by death.

just a bit pointless when you've got the names and faces and current projects threads..

and a bit like having a wank in front of everyone really.

punishable by death.

That's a little harsh - but fortunately, not as harsh as getting the piss taken out of what is well short of being porn.

Bottom of the range Pro bars, Time Atacs, cheap Tektro calipers, el-cheapo generic hubs with a freewheel on the flop side, cheesy fake stitching effect bar tape in addition to the previously noted headset fail and unpleasant cranks. Most of this would be acceptable on a daily driver, but way off topic on the porn thread.

Pure shoe porn

pointless and obnoxious

awful,awful thing to do.
I feel crushed.

I'm sure you're not the first person to notice this, although people seem more exercised by the potential interpretation of the Huez shoe's model name in Slavic language markets. Personally, I'm more worried about how the hell you're supposed to pronounce Zxellium.

We're still talking about the component selection which has been done to that poor innocent 531 frame, right?

sorry, I didn't read the unwritten rules about posting.
Must try harder.
While I'm at it, here's another of my bikes.
Do you like the Time Atac pedals?
