Bike porn

why do bike companies find it necessary to put big swooshing graphics and logos on their bikes? it maddens me so.

to go with the 'modern' look of the frame???

It makes them go faster.

i dunno, think it looks quite similar to toothpaste tube graphics too often. quite sterile.

it's just a load of arbitrary faux graphic design bullshit. pointless swooping nonsense. they all do it. sponsorship is one thing of course, but otherwise it's just cack.

felt! felt! felt! easton! felt! easton! schwalbe! felt! felt!

hush now.

Yes very true. and on that note it's time to hit the sack.... bloody exams in the morning.

good luck.

Can I drill the fork for a brake? No? Next...

But seriously, this is utility track bike porn based on results - Mini Phinney took world championship medals in pursuit and kilo on one of these.

Two sets of engineers solving the same problem with the same constraints and using the same tools, it's not surprising that there is a convergence of designs.
(especially if Felt sponsored riders are coming from a national team whose frame sponsor is Look...)

thanks to milanofixed.com, i now know that in my next life i want to come back as a stem (here's the flickr link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/keithgallagher/3518192097/sizes/l/):

if you come back as a stem chances are it will be a man sticking his balls on you rather than a bird

where is that?
