Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

i agree, its beyond

It can't compete with that abomination of a Merckx above, but this caused me to retch.

there's a lot going on there

The Cannon fail is brilliant!

At first glance its just a road bike with a few too many accessories. I mean even the tyres match, whats the problem........
....Then you notice the red chain, and crudcatcher, and TT bars*.....
Its like one of those 'shit bricks' pictures

(* Aero bars + massively unaero crud catchers = mad genious)

if you've seen the people of London commuting back and forth, you'll realise that the Cannonfail is the perfect bike for them judging by the way they ride.

TBH those aero bars might be intended tuck the rider out of cold rainy head winds. My winter bike's about as aero as a house brick. But I still spend alot of time riding in the drops. It exposes less of your body to the elements*.

(*-2C and sleeting sidways this morning)

true that^^

lots of long distance riders use tri-bars - just some extra positions for the long haul,

still, the single cog/triple chainring = instant fail, as I doubt anyone could do any long distances in that gear ratio !

spicercycles.com some nice bikes, shame about this monstrosity.

not sure if repost, straight from FGG

^^Wow

Tri bars are a waste of space on 99% of bikes I see. OK I guess if you have to train for a Triathlon but how come they are always being ridden so chuffing slowly?

another one of those things that when you get all the individual items it looks great on paper but when you put it together it just doesn't work.

$800 for the shamals with phils. bargain.

Get rid of the bars (or even the grips), seat, seat post and chainring and it would look amazing.

I disagree, the bike looks "teh sekz" apart from the H+Sons which look shit on everything.

Even the photographer puked on his cock a bit.

I mean it's OK. Just what you'd expect form a fixie. It's just a bit strange, that such an exclusive brand like De Rosa was treated like a whore...

Its a fucking unipack with stickers homes.

I was thinking that yesterday, The forks are a giveaway.
