Readers Wives Anti Porn

Blends nicely into racks of bikes to keep unwanted attention away.

Won't work, the pool of deathly blackness will stand out against the field of garish BSOs.

finished building this old raleigh, not sure what model it is but i know its 531 tubing.... pretty much a budget build but hey oh its my first build.

just need to update the chainring has its pretty cheap and nasty

just posting this really to see what you guys think

Decent first effort but not sure if worthy of a thread.

The basis of this forum is: bikes being built or converted, and the following of those projects from beginning to end.

It's not: Readers wives.

What is meant by this is that just buying a bike whole isn't reason enough to start a thread in here, but if you've been involved in the design, the accumulation of parts and have made something that you're proud of (physically yourself or by through conception and building) then feel free to start a thread and show us what you did.

You can start a thread to act as an historical document of a build, just don't start a thread for an OTP or buying someone else's fully-built bike.

Oh, and 1 thread per bike so that they can be found easier later.

yeah i didnt know where else to post has ive only been a member for a few weeks, just wanted to share and see what people thought!

Stick in here:

Any reason for the saddle angle?

So is it about time we had a readers wives thread, for when people post up ugly bikes?

... think you guys are missing the point of this thread.

The posts go back as far as 2009 or something, stopped paying attention to them. Just assumed readers wives meant readers bikes.

The thread used to be called 'readers wives anti porn' either because new members often posted ther own ugly bikes in threads like bike porn or for older members to post disgraces they have owned.

I think it should have stayed titled that.

Personally I don't see why the title changed then.

I think the admin did it.

you RUINED it with that stupid sticker
grow up!

Tape up your bars.

I like them naked bars boner

De-sticker wheels, tape bars, flip stem, get rid of the OFWGKTA sticker and you've got yourself an acceptable build.

If it's not readers wives anti porn then its a pretty pointless thread as we already have Names and Faces to Bikes

That thread is just "this is me, this is my bike".

This thread of "oooh look at me, havent I got an awesome bike, look at me, look at meeee"

Or at least, it could be.

I recently completed this bike for my wife - before

After -

Just to be clear, it was quite expensive and an absolute headache to build.

I enjoy the peroid correct component choices.

Hmmmm It is a bit of a mismash of bits, Gipiemme rear mech (old) 105 front mech (very new), seat is carbon/kevlar and new bars are GB Maes (old) and Cinelli 1A stem. I think it looks well though and my wife was pleased with it - and that is what matters!!!]
