Not a great build, but that frame is the nuts!!! not quite anti-porn for me.

Sorry if I missed something but I just saw a bloke actually riding one of these in Stockwell and it made me chortle.

That freaky circus frame is rad.

Anti porn?? surely not? Soo much potential

Just needs a new front tyre (IMHO) and its off to the porn section.

(Where I would be irritated by the red spoke nipples)

i think it's lovely.

apart from the stupid spoke pattern

what about the stupid bars? they look stupid

That purple and pink bike looks like the vomit of a girl who's drunk too much rose wine.

The crazy lo-pro frame has some potential, agree with Wibble on those bars though.

I guess they bike is set up for someone with really long arms and/or someone who likes a very low profile.

yup, ditch the bars too.

The French do, they're mad for block like that, if you notice that when you went to a french village/town, you'll see a lots of those bare wall that appear to be unfinished - they did that on purpose to avoid paying certain taxes (I think, according to a Scouse sounding Frenc), as they discovered a loopholes, and consquencely nearly every recent building have certain part that are unfinished.

and consquencely nearly every recent building have certain part that are unfinished.

Something to do with VAT, IIRC. As VAT is an EU tax, you'd expect loopholes and the potential for fraud on a massive scale, and 'nearly finished' buildings are common throughout Europe as a result.

yeah that one, it's a bit annoying going around France with building that's still unfinished for decades.

For the record i was refererring to the bond pattern of the blockwork, not the idea or appearance of unfinished aerated concrete block walls.

Looks like a decent polo bike to me, would have kept the 26" wheels and fat tyres to keep the wheelbase short, but it's not anti-porn.

Can you explain please how altering the size of wheel on a bike can change the wheelbase?

Can you explain please how altering the size of wheel on a bike can change the wheelbase?

because of the rake of the fork a bigger wheel would increase wheelbase...

Changing one wheel size wouldn't affect the wheel base materially, by nothing if you kept the wheels the same size (i.e. changed both).

The thing you'd worry about in polo is how big the BB gap was.

would actually look decent without all the wierd decals, that guard and just a regular wheel instead of that aerospoke

So yeah, if you removed the stickers, got rid of the aerospoke and mud guard, you'd basically have an OPT Fuji track with risers.

I'd go further and say remove the top tube protector, ditch the oury's and change the tyres. Then get the frame painted.

(Not that I have anything against the Fuji, but I'm not too crazy about the '08 paintjob).

Sh1t happens !!

You cud get nutted off 4 that !
