Bike porn

Exactly - scrappy lack of attention to details that let's the whole thing down. Ship and 1/2p's of tar and all that.

In excusable slackness of standards. Completely avoidable with a little care, which would have stopped the whole disgusting, galling, revolting incident in its tracks before it even began.

You are definitely kidding. Nice try.

The bike gets ridden, I know the owner. A bike that shows signs of wear from 'daily use' is 100% more porn to me than some hang-on-the-wall mint condition cuntmachine.
