Bike porn

Need I even say anything?

"Sorry" would be a good place to start.

it doesn't compromise the structure of the frame. it might compromise the tire...

ftfy

it doesn't compromise the structure of the frame.

Depends on you definition of 'compromise'; in normal service, it isn't going to fail or even make a material difference to the performance, but the same could be said of a straight bridge which would be cheaper to fabricate and half the weight.

please can we ban stupid seat stay bridges :)

ha ha ha! I really like that. Is there a koga under all that?

the only porn part of that bike is the rear rim.. is that the one that appears to glow blue at the correct speeds?

i'd worry i'd make a hole in my tier if i put my wheel in too far.

it would still be a hell of a lot better if it was inverted so that it was sort of shaped around the tyre pointing up. I read somewhere recently that have bridges that aren't straight makes the back end more forgiving... That's not really what you want in a track frame though is it?

panto'ed stem/ring are OK, but aren't those DT letterings a little bit too thick?..

They usually have a stroke line around them - sometimes contrasting, sometimes metallic, sometime a similar colour. Looks like it's just badly photographed.

I would do bad, bad things for that bike

No, an Affinity Kissena

New bike base on the original that won the Oregon Manifest Technical Trials, much love;

Now mdcc_tester will be alongside soon explaining why this and that shouldn't work together and are in fact, a poorly though out design.

I'll be in danger of agreeing with him when he does. The lock doesn't solve any problems for the complication it creates in building it or using it. Nice bike though.

I reckon they shouldve stuck some of those flappy gear shifting brake levers on that pereira porteur bike. Also think that baby blue doesnt compliment the black bits very well.

The lock is pointless. A shame there, somewhat of a bizzare epic fail.

Plus steel cages like that are just horrible to use. Shouldve stuck something more modern there or at least more effective foot retention.

pearoast. the ex owner of that posts on another board i'm on and flipped it for a large amount.

I posted this or a very similar bike months back in the anti-porn because of the stupid lock.

I would much prefer the rack to be on the back with that much weight.

exactly what i though. seems a shame.

Not sure what's a shame about having a bicycle designed for a front rack.

when you can have it on the rear and not cock up the steering?

So a bicycle that was made specifically for carrying a front end load, cock up it's steering?

more so than if it was on the rear.
