Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

you think this is ruined?
look at that

good post.

not really a ruined frame, nothing could make that melty pile of shit look nice.

ducks

I totally agree, I'm sure it's fast as shit but the state of it...

I don't know if the saddle angle meets UCI regulations.

This makes no sense.

Thank all that is holy that someone has parked that hideous up-its-own-arse, aren't I rich, I have a Porsche as well you know, fucking Colnago where it truly belongs! For further venting of spleen, see porn thread......

"I don't know if the saddle angle meets UCI regulations."

Really there should be regulations against just about everything regarding this bike.

Fake aerospoke.

Why would anyone bother faking an aerospoke?

Why would Colnago bother faking an aerospoke?

Good question.

Really there should be regulations against just about everything regarding this bike.

On this.

The Colnago C35 was a commemorative model created in celebration of Colnago’s 35th anniversary in 1989 with Ferrari. It was one of the first frames to be manufactured using carbon fibre composite. So although by today's standards it may be anti it is a significant frame ..

As for the wheels Aerospoke wheels where 1988 if I recal correctly? Possibly when this was being developed by Colnago and Ferrari. So they may have been inspired!

It reminds me of a bunch of artificial flowers

We make cars.

We must redesign your industry as it is inferior.

Behold.

I don't know if the saddle angle meets UCI regulations.

I'm not talking about the 'nago, I'm talking about this.

The Colnago C35...was one of the first frames to be manufactured using carbon fibre composite

Not really. Maybe one of the first monocoque diamond frames to come to the market.

I'm not talking about the 'nago, I'm talking about this.

I know, but the joke was there for the taking.

Fair play to you sir.

Thank all that is holy that someone has parked that hideous up-its-own-arse, aren't I rich, I have a Porsche as well you know, fucking Colnago where it truly belongs! For further venting of spleen, see porn thread......

Ah, I see my mistake, delete 'Porsche', insert 'Ferrari'.

Apologies for error, further apologies for quoting myself, no apologies whatsoever for loathing this misbegotten hunk of batshit.

I believe it was the Alan and Vitus aluminium lugged carbon tube frames that where the first commercially available frames using carbon composite .. but these mimicked the aluminium frames and where not engineered.

The first commercial monocoque was Kestrel in 1986. What manufacturers like Ferrari bought was engineering knowledge of the material to the bike industry.

What they didn't bring is 'beautiful', surely the point of this thread?
