no.

Why purple cranks.

i was going to post that in anti.

nothing matches, spokes are gay, and those cages look like he rides barefoot

spokes are gay

If you mean that in the old sense, it's a compliment to the build. If you mean it in any other sense, get ready to be flamed by the forum's flaming homosexuals.

Or he might just mean, FABULOUS (due to their bright colour).

Negged for homophobia.

To be far. The merits, positive or otherwise, of the spoke's sexuality was never discused.

I think the accepted term is "ghay".

Or is that just predictive text going a little crazy?

I think the spokes look good against the BR Green. Post it in HHSB's where it'll be respected and cherished.

That frame in that colour... instant win

A fair point, he could well have been commenting on how much he liked the spokes. I doubt it though.

Your etymological ignorance astounds me.

Please explain to me how "spokes are gay" translates to a fear of homosexuals?

Gay is a word (a noun or an adjective) that primarily refers to a homosexual person. The term was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy"; it had also come to acquire some connotations of "immorality" as early as 1637.

There you go. I'm not scared of homosexuals nor used the term "gay" as a pejorative. But those spokes are immoral.

Either way, it works for me.

I dislike every part of that bike, the frame, the cranks, the spokes etc. I'm not even a big fan of the thomson seatpost. But together it seems to work.

Pea but ACE frame in that colour

BUT deserves to be in anti because it's a dog's dinner of a build, as if someone let Edscoble and David Blunkett have a crack at it
