Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Everyone bangs on about how good these frames are. Why is the tyre pretty much touching the seat tube, yet the axle is right at the back of the dropout? Their not even big tyres. Chainstay length FAIL.

made for tubulars not clinchers.
possibly conisdered for both 650 wheelset as well as a 700 back

a tub isn't that much smaller. 4-5 mm not 3-4 cm

seems like the seat tube has a special shape:

but still a very tight clearance..

my point being that even if you had like a 19c tub on, you'd never get anywhere near the start of the track ends.

Got a feeling it might be designed to take a 650 rear as mentioned above

wtf?.. is there a secret source of pics of this particular yamaguchi on the web somewhere?..

i did just copy the image location and replaced the last two numbers of the url (which is obviously the filename.. 9100,9101,9102 and so on.

all i found is:

can't see a single thing that is right about this bike, pengys sister for sure.

wow, you've obviously mastered it... unlike myself :)
pic in the middle makes this bike's three-days-long presence in this thread very well justified, IMO

^ that was about 531c's multiple-yamaguchi-pics post :)

true, but the DuraAce zen ring is kinda porn though.

what's wrong with camo'ed surly? camo itself? it's not that bad IMO, not anti- kinda bad. other than camo i think it's even ok. what made you post it here, Ed? i mean, we're not discussing the owner now, are we? :)

massive clearances etc etc. is it just me or does it have a really long tt?

yea, it looks massive

Weapon! I bet he's mates with Don Walker

TopTube protector on the DownTube?

protecting from caliper dings perhaps?

Yep.

That Steamroller looks huge, must be bigger than the 62cm.

Still a pile of wank though, amazingly funny mix of components.

If the seat height is right, he has no standover clearance, which makes the off road theme a bit of a hazard to the knackers, but it's not really anti.

does it need to go into bike porn then?

does it need to go into bike porn then?

No, it needs to join the 99% of bikes which are neither porn nor anti-porn.

yeah, that's not anti. no need to dilute this thread with averageness.
