Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

That will buff right out

Oh, hang on, it hasn't been crashed...

looking at that bike is only for the brave...

Oh, hang on, it hasn't been crashed...

Only into the ugly tree.

And hit every branch both on the way up and on the way down

If the owner of that thing had an arsehole transplant, it would reject him.

According to Halfords...

"The Pinarello 'Only the Brave' by Diesel Fixie Bike mixes Pinarello's technology and expertise in bike build and design alongside Diesel's expertise in fashion and style to make the ideal urban bike... as well as being a bike that is guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.

...Styled with the look and feel of the American messenger bikes, it then also combines Pinarello's trademark design with a careful study of balances, strengths and efficiency.

Hydroformed aluminium 6061 T6 is used for the frame and allows for an original design, while protecting handling agility, cornering ability and speed, important features for riding urban streets [and the track apparently]."

Diesel should stick to faux shock ads and clothing.

(How did they manage to convince Pinarello, of all places?)

I'm both amazed and appalled that one of those has made it to the track.

Have you seen a Pinarello lately? They are anti-porn without any help from hipster fashion labels.

true

The ones I've seen in magazines are non-barfy so-so to me, you don't spot any Pinerallos on my commuting haunts in Belfast. I don't read a lot of magazines though...did I miss something I should read like "Hipsters United"?

Anyhoo...here's a new piccy to detract from my ignorance but I strongly suspect it's an art piece rather than a real bike.

And bar-ends gone wrong

Next level sht

^simply change bars and saddle.......... and throw it in a furnace.

Current Pinarello in general, 'only the blind'.

^ Hah great pun.

repost?

If they swapped the long stem for a short one with bmx bars/ape hangers, it'd be awesome and have the same position.

Move the seat back, smaller cog, black front wheel. Then I'd ride it. Everywhere.

Change everything and I would give it a go...

Great way to fuck up a lovely vintage frame.

Black tyres, rewrap bars and sort lever angle and it'd be great.

The HQ of Pinarello and Diesel are about 30km from each other, I imagine the owners must be friends.
