Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Who are they trying to appeal to with the first pic? ^

This is me being careful not to pick anything too glossy.....

Same guy as above here, full lycra enjoying a Sunday cruise, still same tennis shoes though...

go mad here http://www.flickr.com/photos/stradalli-cycle/

they really do just seem to be going for the 'douchebags with tribal tattoos' market

this is the most tasteful thing they do

still awful

not even a real scuderia either

So, so worthy of this thread

sorry I just think its silly putting scuderia wheels on a regular 430. Seen it a lot and it just annoys me hah
car thread>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I just think its silly putting racing wheels on a regular bike

Why?

Good in theory, looks shit in practice.
Probably a repost, too.

subconjunctival hemorrhage - why so bright!

Not really major anti, but I saw this as I was leaving work today:

Its a Raleigh Road Ace, with the remains of the Shiamno 600 AX Group on it. I saw it a while ago still fully intact, just needed a bit of TLC. It made me a bit sad to see it stripped back to a singlespeed, then left, locked really poorly in the rain.

I suppose if the owner uses it and enjoys it thats the main thing, but I've always wanted one so it annoyed me a tad to see one, in what looked like my size, like this. Maybe I should have left a note saying to call me if they ever sell it.

Here's some photos of what it should look like

At least it has drops on it, could do with losing all that blue

+10 points for locking technique

-1 bike for using a cheap shit lock.
