Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Hardly anti though is it?

bit harsh on that Gios. The rock shock seatpost has confused me a little.

Hardly anti though is it?

The shock post alone means it deserves to be here. The non-matching colour-matched tyres are a bit rank too. A few minor tweaks and it could be nice; anti-porn is not just Pengy, where everything is wrong, it also covers this, where it's so close to being right but is let down by one thing being so very wrong.

The drops are pointing upwards.

Anti it is.

Next.

I prefer to operate on the weighing scales system. If the good outweighs the bad then it's exempt in my eyes.

This bike makes me so angry, which fucking mug would pay €20K for a bike wrapped in leather, yellow leather I might add.

Fuck me! That's outrageous!

may be a repost.

but.. no foot retention, weird drop bars, weird saddle angles.
Frame is fine though..

damn you beat me to it!

looks like he got the idea of chop n flop a bit wrong, forgot the flop...

Amazon threw up (lit.) this wonder, GMC Delani road bike set up with gripshift. The brake lever madness prompts me to think the American rider of this beast was looking at getting into the Darwin Awards asap.

Brr...

....i'm confused

the spoke reflectors are a nice touch. safety first!

Like the way the rear shift is part of the bar tape. It's a gear indicator, you know when you're in by the tightness of the tape.

what is wrong with that?

would change the bars (remove back brake in the process), pedals, saddle. Would then be a beast.

agree, that bike with some change could be porn, but, I dont think is anti porn as it is

Yeah, at the moment it's just bland. Could be lovely though.

The frame is porn (GT yamaguchi pursuit track frame) but IMO it is ruined by that setup.

You see for me anti-porn means more than just having more wrong than right. Having a the detail that kills it all, always qualifies for anti. As does spending lots of money trying to create porn, and ending up with a mess. That's why just any old bso or miss-matching beater doesn't automatically qualify...

...otherwise it would just be 'Ugly Bikes Thread'.

Well thats how I read it anyway.

it's by no means perfect but not hugely offensive.. If it had risers with ourys, stupidly coloured tyres or barbie spokey-dokes I'd agree with you..

+1

Frankly it look perfectly rideable and have the right part to ride as a normal riser bar bicycle.

it's just the frame that appear unsuitable.

That GT looks fine to me...

I think the saddle rather suites it tbh, period correct etc. agree about the rest though

I'm a rolls man myself, just personal preference. Wasn't a comment on the quality of the saddle itself.

i love my rolls to, but i can only ride it so much, after a while it rubs me the wrong way, gets real saw. especially if I'm in the drops for a long time
