Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

That Somec is a friggin CRIME!

You don't take one of the most exquisitely made Italian steel frames you can find and give it a Bernie Basset paintjob.

Grrr.

The result is nice (IMHO). Maybe the original was a bit bashed up?

A crime?

Peoples shit it theirs to do what they want with. Are you saying that if you want to paint your frame a different colour you have to have some wanky create/unipack bike?

• That's a nice paint job.
  

....which reminds me ....

..Making Plugs looking like Unipacks... noice.

No one else spotted that is says breaks instead of brakes, apparently dyslexia is hip now...

Yeah, they're probably sell it with a copy of Acid Pro

Unipacks were copied off plugs pretty much, I think the brightly coloured freestyle ones have the most in common.

They wrote "breaks" too.

Fail.

hahahaha!!

I might be too stubborn here man,but i disagree on that. That shit comes from these guys, in Switzerland I think, that are proud to "save" old racing classics and give them a "hip fixie" look.... on my book that equals to 1st degree murder. That simple.
They're called - Cro-Mo -, have the tackiest logo ever, done on Microsoft Word, the color-scheme reminds me of some shity low-end bike (albeit the quality of the finish...it's ugly)... and above all this, that is still a SOMEC...(again, too sensitive on that point).
It's wrong, they could have done on a Bianchi Pista and it was fine... not on that.

^Just to add that SOMEC never mass-produced any models/bikes/components... anything, unlike other Italian brands.
It's one of the most exclusive/restrict builders in Italy, every bike you can find nowadays is a piece of legacy of that brand,
they deserve a bit better than to be "Unipacked" in bright orange.
Perfect examples of fine craftsmanship, up there on my top 5.

I figured it was a one off.

Is that from a full-on puppy abattoir?

It has been foffed up.

Sorry, but srsly dude, sort it out

not that shocking. mildly dislike the pedals+straps, uncut steerer and seatpost. but have seen much worse.

I like Leaders. I want one.

If I'm gonna be pedantic, I wouldn't go for BMX pedals, I'd use an inline seatpost, a stem with a rise and 2cm of spacers, and fully wrapped bars.

But that's just me. The bike is fine as it is.

He's done it to a Colnago, so you are talking to a pro here :-)

Oops 5 hours too slow

Why retards should not be let near bikes :-(

could not agree more.

I'd put stickers over those poor welds!

Okay, so I've done my homework on SOMEC and I'll admit I had underestimated their quality/exclisivity but I still think that they have done a really nice paint job on that frame. While it's not to everyones taste, I think it's a bit unfair to compre it to foffa. I know the name/logo is a bit wanky and If it was me I would concider it a bit off to put my own name all over a frame built to that standard if I had only painted it but I don't see why someone who is producing a decent quality paint job like that should have to do it on a Bianchi Pista. Personaly I don't think its anti and to say it's a crime when you don't know what state it was in in the fist place is a bit much (i couldn't find any pics of it before the paint i might be wrong but I can't belive they would do that to a mint example).

I thinks the saddle is such a joke on this bike that this belongs here!

I don't get how exactly this is anti porn?
