Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Stella example of antiporn, this is so far up in the ranks

aero bars, attached to a stem with rise, plus spacers. the mind boggles.

Also, downhill saddle with minimal saddle to bar drop = ergonomics fail.

Wait, is that an official promotional image for that bike.

Fuck my fucking fuck.

• The seat angle
  
• The camera being so low down to take the main bike shot
  
• Those valves
  
  

If this went round the meeting table and everyone at Leader was like "yes! Yes this is CORRECT and how we wish to present our products" then serious anyone would be a damned idiot to ever buy any of their products if their attitude towards them is this shoddy.

That and their frames are fucking awful.

That green Leader is wrong.

It's Dave's from the 5th flaw. So be careful or he may start insulting people inbetween spelling words wrong.

IMO if the saddle angle was adjusted, and changed the stem/bars it'd look quite nice?

lolwut.....

gtfo.

other colours maybe but not anti

lolwut.....

majornerge >:(

Damn, no caps abuse.

Take off the suit (no homo), that Leader doesn't belong here.

that Leader doesn't belong here.

With any other badge, it might not have been. Plenty of set-up errors, but not really any grossly inappropriate parts. I suppose the fact that the shoot is trying so hard to be porn makes the modest shortcomings of the bike itself all the more offensive, so it's a close call, and it only took a bit of brand animosity to tip somebody into putting it here.

• Those valves
  
• The welds on the seat tube junction are uneven and shite
  
• The heritage branding on the top tube is clichéd, cheap looking and embarrasing
  
• It has no front brake, yet is drilled

I just find it strange that a bike designed in the USA and produced in Taiwan, has a "Heritage" label attached to it...

I can't see the Heritage in it at all, I mean it has a rear wheel cut out and slightly aero tigged top and down tubes with an a-head fork.

If they had some clue about heritage, it might have been better.

lolwut.....

how's that create holding up?

^^
^^^^
Agree with the above

Phew!

Yeah the way a bike is presented can make an otherwise ok bike straight antiporn. For example I don't even have to see most of this bike to know it's anti to the max:

Cork city...

poor alan :(

Tic tacs

This just appeared on my screen

Totally agree.

The only bit of heritage in the pictures is the National Trust property in the background.
