Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

anti-theft

i reckon they just dropped the bars when they chained it up.

I mostly posted it because the person posted his own bike in the porn thread, thats why i quoted his jargon.
But those that think it is nice obviously have no standards. It's just a boring red track bike with a particularly shit looking logo, horrible bar tape, completely random component build and wooden rims...lame.

Does it deserve to be in anti-porn? Probably not, but it is a nice bike? Certainly not.

Can you link me to a picture of your bike? Just out of interest.

and this is priceless:

i don't like it but i have respect for
someone that loves his bike so much.

it looks well aero

And what looks like a dinner plate sized rotor on the rear of that tandem in the background.

Back brakes are actually useful on tandems, and it's handy to have one with a high capacity to dissipate energy when going down hill. The reduced lever force implied by a big rotor also reduces hand fatigue on long descents. It might be unusual to see a huge disc rotor on a tandem, but it has sound physics behind it.

Dont be so silly

i love that our track oracle does not even ride track, he manages to get to the pub and back

max's bike is simply a pub bike, no more no less

Fuck off retard.

I don't have a bike at the moment, i had to sell it to cover costs fixing my car.

But i don't see how my bike has any bearing on bike porn standards?
I'm to broke to have a nice looking bike, i ride whatever i can afford.

I've seen some retard yesterday on Old Street skidding around on an unipack with fecking chopper handlebars.

Does it deserve to be in anti-porn? Probably not,

There we go.

Maybe they use the handle bars like the feelers on some old cars... To determine the closeness to the pavement when parking. You know what i mean?

haha.. perhaps.

Also look at the length of the cranks and the height of the bb, pedal strike much?!

I would be over the moon if I was stoned and came back to my bike covered in pink & purple knitting.

Point of Order, that's not knitting, that's Crochet.

;-)

Really? Fair enough if you don't like pink but what else makes my bike worthy of this thread? (I do like pink and loathe hipsters if that helps)

Ohhhh, is it the reflector on the pedals? I've changed them since the photo was taken for some nice cilver-colured track pedals and clips. Hope that helps.

Driving back from Bath where I spent 3 days relaxing, eating great food and celebrating my 25th birthday was smeared when I saw this locked up outside of Harrods.

(okay, not completely smeared but double facepalm happened)

apart from the handlebars whats wrong with that?

mixture or components = dirty harry + delta brake + bars + frame.

For me its a fail.

Case closed.

Unless the chopper has a coaster it also looks brakeless.

In addition, the rear wheel is laced radially, which would suck extra hard if it is a coaster.

Case closed.

wait what?

Shut up then.

You can't defend it... you know it's of questionable taste... Why do that to the nice Bob Jackson frame?

Shut up then.

Again, why should i shutup just because i don't currently have a bike?

One's ownership doesn't change the fundamentals of aesthetics.

Well maybe with your stupidity it might.

It's hard to argue with someone's opinion. It's easy to tell them it's wrong though.

What did your bike look like? You may not think so, but this makes a difference to me. If you're into squat, pink trick frames with Spinergy wheels and tagnuts, of course you're not going to be into pretty, elegant track steel.

If that's the case, may God have mercy on your soul.

That's a pretty bold statement.
