Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

http://www.therisingbikes.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fixie2_1.jpg

From Calfree bikes website:

'This is not just a cool bike. It is appropriate for everyday use and for racing. The vibration damping is a performance advantage on longer rides. Each frame is built to order and every frame is a unique. Tubes are selected for the weight of the rider. The geometry of the frame can be any of our usual geometries: Pro, Tri or Cross. Custom frames can also be made. Mountain Bike frames are now available.
Details. The bike is made from Bamboo that has been smoked and heat treated to prevent splitting. Lugs are made of hemp fiber, for the all-natural look. The chainstays are available in carbon fiber for extra stiffness in the drivetrain.
Finish. We coat the bamboo with a satin polyurethane to seal it up.
Awards. Calfee Bamboo bikes have won awards for Best Road Bike, Best Off-Road Bike and Peoples' Choice Award at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show.
A Calfee Bamboo bike won 1st place in the open class at the Great Western Bicycle Rally's Concourse d'Elegance show.
If there were an award for "Bicycle with lowest carbon footprint" (least amount of carbon dioxide emissions in the production of the frame), this frame would win, hands down.
Bamboo Bike Features:

Amazing Vibration Damping - Even better than Carbon fiber!
High performance frame. Weighs from 4 to 6 pounds but has good stiffness.
Crash tolerant. Bamboo is a lot of tougher than most people realize.
10 year warranty
Looks cool! A work of art!'

Nope. Aside from the crappy rims and "death in wet weather" hard rubber tyres, that is well-executed innovative engineering.

Not a chance! Gan Well Pro FTW! That is fairly foul though...

Ok, so that yellow monstrosity should be in functional? It's fucking ugly, like a Toyota Prius. It might work and save energy but it's still fucking ugly.

this is my bike

On the same fucking page as somebody had already pointed out the rookie error.

already established it's a troll, join date was yesterday..

^I'd ride that.Ideal beater.

i appreciate your opinion but there are other CHEAPER carbon frames id rather have than pay the stupid money they want for a ganwell.

Grate saddle.

Mad Max bike!! That's ace, pornworthy imho!

Brakeless with no retention. Obviously the bike of a winner

Could be coaster brake. Or could be too heavy to even ride at all.
