Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

oh my god. if i owned HED or had any involvement in thier company i would be crying now

^^ amongst many things, flaccid chain

^ it cost more than my house and looks like my 7 year old made it out of lego. porche ftw as ever.

not that offensive ^

650 wheels or just ridden by a giant?

Those Cannondale frames are offensive.

more like 600 wheels i'd say

beside the skaeboard wheels and ugly frame, the saddle is just wrong, the stem is oddly proportioned and the bars are quite hideous.
other than that its fine

650 wheels or just ridden by a giant?

Both.

Nothing wrong with the components on that Cannondale, they all make perfect sense on a triathlon bicycle... but yeah it is ugly.

Just... wow.

Apart from the utterly stpuid rims (it needs sputniks or similar), and the stretched saddle, it aint that bad.

The only thing about all these bikes you see with huge front racks, no-one ever seems to be 'portagerificatingising' any damn thing on them. They represent potential never fulfilled, a bit like my school reports. I have a rack on a beater and I hardly ever really use it properly... so I'm guilty of this pose.

stpuid

hah.

It's like they never learn from their mistakes...

^^this is in the wrong thread. As HHSB as it is, it should be in Porn thread.....
(wheels look potatoshopped)

Wrong wheels, wrong bars, wrong saddle. Definite anti-porn.

Needs more paint chips and it's porn.

Wrong wheels, wrong bars, wrong saddle. Definite anti-porn.

how would you like it?

how would you like it?

Shallower rims, probably silver. The expanse of black is far too bulky for the frame.
Smooth bend drops, probably Cinelli. If you must have horns, smooth ones to match the frame.
Saddle you can sit on for more than 5 minutes without loosing all feelings down below.

Happy?

^ agree.
I understand how someone can find it porn, I would just subtle it out a little bit. and swap horns with dropless ones.
not like I will ever own a canondale frame though... :(

nitto horns are fine and the saddle is good too just the wheels imo

rb0010, concor supercorsa, silver open pros on expensive hubs and its hot

if i remember right the owner of the cdale posted the pic with those wheels with a sentence like "not the correct wheels, just to get a feeling for a complete build up-picture", so no reason to post unfinished bikes here
