Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

OMG....

Perfect for a trip around Flanders. Where can I get one?!

that bike at least looks fast which is a blessing as in that case you will only have to see it for a short space of time yukk!!

Fools! This bike is freakin rad!

........and on ebay right now - has a bid on it and all. Yours for $1,100ish.

Some people should not be allowed to own beautiful frames like this.

I know, they should totally have it taken off them and turned into a fixed gear bike.

Seriously, no-one is realistically going to build this back into a TT bike and use it. This bike actually makes just as much sense, if not more, than any of the other lo pros riding around london. I actually quite like it.

Ha, agreed.

I really like it, and that's why I posted it in bike porn.

The owner is really into his bikes and isn't a fashion victim.

I'm not into complaining about bikes just because they aren't traditionally built up. If they look like they are ridden and enjoyed and not THAT ugly then that's the kinda thing I like.

Ha, agreed.

Same, its just a sensible lo-pro (contradiction in terms, I know!)

It's just an old TT bike with flat bars for added convenience when commuting and riding in town. Nothing more, nothing less.

Amen

Over €100 for some hipster endorsed plastic:

/\ looks like a sex aid.

fucking hell, not only is that bar shit, check how far the stem is out!

The stem is fine, that Nitto is designed to be longer than usual.

I want to see the whole bike, i bet it looks gash

Most zoomed out I could find, website's in Japanese so I can't go much further than what's on the page.

I own one of these (a metal one). I was looking for something different when I broke my hand. They are not comfy. They're too obvious - just like a huge diamond encrusted pendant on the Kayne West's neck. Good for a stroll down the road when you hold your bike by the saddle, nothing more.

This is how gash they are (no, I don't ride like this - sold the stem/bars week earlier, before I broke the whole bike apart)

Metal looks a lot better than plastic at least. Still quite ridiculous though.

If you are not an attention seeking hipster, the you will feel very self-aware sporting that bar.
I'm just too old for that, but couldn't find any 26mm risers at that time at a short notice.

But too small. Very short top tube, hence the long stem.
I've got something bigger now.
