Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

stop posting pics of yourself lucas

I don't see a brooks saddle there ... I see a bent mudguard some wore panniers and some cheapy saddle. Plastic Pedals and guess what ... this shit gets used everyday of the week barring Sundays.

Function Bike without the brooks bollox and it ain't in a studio ..... oh my fucking god, cheap shit that does the job.

It's pretty clear you have something against Brooks.

@ *m.f.

yeah yeah.. hahah you ...

At the end of the day mate my rusty ridden mountain bike cost me £50 and is currenlty getting to me to work earning me like £90 a day ... more than pays for itself ... and not a brooks saddle in sight not silly bar grips that no-one would buy for a bike that actually gets used.

It's pretty clear you have something against Brooks.

No Ed I got something against brooks being posted on this forum as the be all and the end all of Saddles and this is a "functional bike thread" ... not one of these bikes in the post I have highlighted have 1 scratch on them .. bikes which are used have ripped up paint and saddle and knackered grips.

Oh and brooks is expensive ... maybe in future Ed you would like to actually read the post and try to think of the motivation behind it.

Lucas, as I've told you before, nobody suggesting that the Brooks is the 'end all of saddles", it's a fucking saddle, don't get wound up by it.

I will get pissed off about out of date leather saddles as much as I want to in my spare time thankyou very much. It is one of the few pleasures I have left in life.

Or when there is a thread aboutb "functional bikes" ... not "bikes that looks like they are a bit retro but have a rack on the front" we post stuff about call functional bikes that get used.

*'out of date leather saddles' *are functional for those who find it comfortable.

You can't exactly just says Brooks are rubbish simply because you don't like it.

Deal with it.

Guess what Ed cheapy saddles can just be as comfortable as long as they are the same fucking shape. DEAL WITH IT .. there is no need for brooks saddles to be 1) leather .. 2) expensive.

I say they are rubbish because 1) they are expensive 2) they are overpriced ... .they are the macintosh of the saddle world.

Guess what ED, My complaint was about the fact that bikes that got posted had never got used ... maybe you would like the re-read those posts.

This transit has no scratches.
It can't possibly be of any use for shifting loads, tools, packages, goods etc around the country.

Oh wait, maybe it was just photographed before it was beaten into the ground.

No no, noone would take a photograph of something NEW!
What'd be the point in that?

As for Brooks, maybe they're financed by a mega multi millionaire that gets his jollies by pumping endless amounts of cash into the business to keep it afloat.
Or maybe they just make good saddles that lots of people find comfortable and are willing to spend their money on?
Nah your right, must be the first one.

You missed the point entirely ... Never mind.

     “The dual keg toting pub-on-wheels sports an aluminum pan with fifty feet of draft coil, two custom taps, inlaid old-growth woodwork bar with a split top for easy access to the kegs, an MP3 sound system modeled after a motorcycle’s hard pannier bag, and a back rack capable of holding three large pizzas for the unavoidable crowd that forms every time the bike stops.”

Is it just me, or is does every post from Lucas sound incredibly cross?
You'll give yourself a nasty ulcer, young man. Calm your pants.

Also, all your posts seem to be saying 'that bike is shit because it isn't anything like my bike'
Post us a pic of your £50 gem so we can be thoroughly underwhelmed by it.

I for one don't trawl through porn looking for tired looking women in their late fifties scrubbing the inside of a filthy oven with their knockers out.
I try to find something a little more 'aesthetically pleasing'.
The same goes for my bike tastes.

And as for Brooks saddles, get yourself down any flea market in England, and soon enough you'll find a Brooks saddle circa 1940. You can buy it, plonk it on your bike and ride it, and the chance are it will last you until you die.
THAT is why Brooks are popular, not because they are 'bling'.

A nice Feather:

niceest bike i've seen in a long time.

Personally I think that belongs in porn. Rare, beautiful and fast as hell. I've always wanted a go on one.

I ain't angry mate, I am blunt when I am faced with bullshit. I can turn it on and I can turn it off ... I just choose to have it on most of the time. It's called self censorship, I choose to in the company of those around me, to be less censored ... whereas when I see my Grandparents for example I tone it down quite a bit.

I find in Real Life ... this makes me more quality friends (i.e. weeds out the wankers very quickly), by being honest.

Aesthetically pleasing doesn't get me to work and it gets itself nicked ... my nice bikes stay in my garage, my beater gets me to work.

You know maybe it says something about our character I prefer deeper down qualities than looks.

My preferred vintage-esque saddle is a rolls anyway, I don't want a brooks for my 70s Peugeot Thanks.

More practical than that sit up and beg thing with the rack, at least it actually gets you somewhere fast.

It even has two cup holders. What more do you need?

Sure it's fast, but whoever put it in anti was right.
it's fucking ugly

Maybe in real life you are too cool for school, but on the Internet you sound like a hapless japs eye.
Sorry if I missed something.

You have to stay up all night to catch her out...;D (sorry to be so sycophantic...I was about to say something similar), you moan about brookes and have a rolls?

brookes have been around forever, long, long before every hipster wanted one in 'honey' to engage in frottage, they were heavy, well built, and as long as you knew what hide food was would outlive you and the bicycle. don't be so harsh on a 'design classic' because they were one of those before the term 'design classic' was ever thought up, be pissed off about anything (but those saddles are a poor target...you sound like a buffoon.)

they are the functional workhorse saddle.

Might have been posted somewhere before, but regarding the earlier comment about Royal Mail using vans instead of bikes:
