Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Make me sick...

with envy?

imo just replacing the cockpit would make it acceptable, something like f99/f139 stem and stratos/t2 airwing or carbon track drops.

The frame in my opinion is amazing.

I would ride it

Change the wheels and pedals and it'd be a normal TT bike.

Quelle q'fook is that all about?

Spoks were TT wheels when MCRs were TT frames.

The half link chain, on the other hand, has no place anywhere near a bicycle.

Lots of chain rub, almost like the inner ring was touching the frame.

with envy?

Partly yes, I'd love to be able to afford one of those frames but I'd try and do it justice

Really? The "Viktor" brakeless fixie skidder ghost bike is a bit silly, but the rest of them seem like fairly inoffensive belt drive OTPs

I owned one of those Giant MCRs, sold it because I felt like a tool commuting on it in my street clothes. I saw the potential of the bolt on dropouts and thought about replacing them with custom track ends like this one has, but I'm glad I never went that route because it looks shit.

£1300 for some leader bikes with smoothed welds. pretentious crap.

The ugliest bike I saw while in Berlin (and up against some strong competition). Didn't see any ugly fixed or single-speed bikes, cause almost nobody was riding them.

I know it's a repost, but I stumbled upon it, while moving bookmarks from one computer to another.

Fucking vile! And I don't mind "funky" random bikes

[QUOTE=Pony;1743097]This can f**k off:

it's a GT LTS aint it?
dunno what forks they are but this bike was lustful back in the day

but i'd snap that easy peasy

i think it was a rts, i had an lts and the back end lined up totally different, plus i think the rts was the flagship model at the time
the forks are a take on the hossack front end now used on bmw motorbikes, designed to seperate brake and suspension forces so you can brake as hard as you want and the forks will hardly move, its a good system but no feeling from it

i actually remember this bike vaguely from mtbuk a long long time ago, im sure it wa a carbon frame too

It was thermoplastic which is slightly different. and its STS, GT should have come up with more
memorable names. Its all very confusing.

RTS is this design

i had til my dad robbed it and went to spain a lts5 from circa 97, itll save me having to take one with me when i go to visit tho
but in all honesty gts from then were heavy and shit unless you had mega money

Probably a repost, but for the love of baby Jesus...

Why do I like that? I don't know, it look.. fun? why!?

black stem, black grips, black tires and lose the spokecards and bottle cages and def it wouldn't be anti anymore.

the forks are a take on the hossack front end now used on bmw motorbikes

The Telelever system used on current BMWs is quite different to the Hossack system, since it doesn't have the upper wishbone; it is more analogous to the MacPherson strut. The fork on that GT is also nothing like a Hossack. It's just an old fashioned girder fork of the kind which was common on early motorcycles before telescopic forks became ubiquitous.

stickers and chain are the real problems, I quite like the stem bar combo.

you knew wot i meant, it was late and my brain hurt then

i quite like the stickers myself, chain tension, spokcards and tyres not so much. what sort of specialized is that anyway?
