Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

The clearances are anti, given that the wheels are pure track wheels, so big tires are out of question.

yep, pure track wheels for the track;

Good one Ed...
I meant wheels designed for the track, although they are perfectly fine on the road, as opposed to broad rims for trick bikes where you can fit big tires... Anyway the bike just seemed to have a laid back geometry or am I still making a mistake ?

To be honest, it look like that was set-up for a person with a bad back.

It looks like a lady's bike, for a lady. The shallow head angle is a traditional dodge on small frames to provide a short reach without excessive toe overlap. It would probably look more like a racing bike if it had 650c wheels, but life is full of compromises.

Your honesty is admirable, Ed.

less than 5 changes and that would be acceptable

well, it has been posted here more than twice

Oops, sorry...

less than 5 changes and that would be acceptable

it's not so much the parts that offend... it's the intention.

On of which would be the frame :-)

i personally dont think the frame is that offensive. but saying that... it's still a giant

reviews look ok, but if your gonna be spending 850 on a frame there are a fair few frames higher on my list

Oh, is it a Giant? I hadn't noticed, what with the ultra subtle branding...

You can get pretty big tyres on most rims. I happily used 35c on an Open Pro with no issues.

too much Celeste!!!!!!

You're so right, Daphne...

Dodges beer-bottle of piss

^^ heh. i was one of the bottle throwers. harsh but fair methinks. ^^

that giant would be much better stripped down to the bare black and white without all the decals. and of course get rid of those cranks. sweet jesus.

This is the New Peugeot, being launched to celebrate the companys 200th anniversary. You would expect something pretty special but i cant stand it, frame, spoke pattern, paint, check pattern has been ruined, saddle seems out of place

Is it just me?
