Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

could explain this sequence?:-

miro_o - Putting flat pedals on a bike like that shows it's not being ridden for anything but a run-around

macb - arrant nonsense

miro_o - Show me road race bike that's ridden for it's intended purpose with flat pedals then MacB

Macb I was not offering any fashion advice. I am a bike mechanic. Fashion is not my business. Bicycle mechanics are my business. A saddle angle that promotes penile dis-function is antiporn. A brake block scratching into a Campag Omega rim in anti porn. Using a bright silver cable lock (the £15 kind) wrapped around the headtube is antiporn. I was sad as it is such a special frame, one that should be coveted and could easily be porn.

I also do not see why me being a bike mechanic means I am not allowed to have an opinion as to whether a bike is porn or not. if anything my greater understanding of the machine places me in a marginally better position then most in judging a bike, its components and the general build.

Don't be a pillock.

The brown saddle and flat pedals are fucking ugly and should be changed for nicer looking ones.

and ugly lock and ugly groupset.

ugly bike for ugly rider.

TT pad though...

Is proof enough

i dont see any problems with ridden to rust bikes being in both porn and antiporn threads, the "rat" category is more of a performance thing for me.
thought its rather obvious that its more about the love,use&abuse approach to the bike which is reflected in its apearance, especially after posting the st christopher spokecard bike.. but god, was i wrong.

So, my question remains, just how sad did it make you? I have no interest in what you consider porn or anti porn. I'm now imagining you've been inconsolable since seeing it, it must have been difficult, through your grief, to have managed to take a picture. How you were able to then upload the picture, even apologising as you did so, can only mark you out as heroic in your grief.

Or maybe people spouting lines like 'really, really, sad', or 'it just made me puke in my mouth a bit', gets on my tits.

Maybe you should take the internet a little easier. Give it a rest, have a lie down, have a wank. Do anything but post in this thread again.

Ed, leave the Cannondale alone!

how can that be practical?

While stroking my beard I've come up with the thought it might be a piss take.
