That's the nicest looking hydro conversion I've seen yet. Never liked the look of the bars, yet to try them for comfort though

you probably wear tennis socks.

What's wrong with tennis socks?

Errr. They're incredibly ugly, and basically a gross offence against taste, decency & universal concepts of morality & ethics.

What the fuck are tennis socks? I agree that there are basic bike setup standards that should be upheld here, such as saddle angle, but suggesting that all aluminium bikes are ugly is a load of rubbish!

Tennis socks are great, very comfy. Never wear them in shorts though.

I suspect Bill was thinking of this

Old skool style to suit an old man?

love this but would like to see it with super record cranks

who let them ^^^ in?

as above, its details that often show up if the person who built it knows anything about what they are doing with the components.

Though generally if I see a backwards QR I do a little lol. Also with QR's having had several bad experiences of them getting caught on flora & fauna whilst out in the woods, so I put them into an optimum anti-undo position, even then got fed up and went bolt thru/ QR20/maxxle.

Improper, immoral, and inadmissible tennis socks.

No I'm not. You assume that because I use 'oz' as an abbreviation of my name because all you english cunts can't say my real name properly. And also my pun to use a pic of Australia as my avatar.

You're on about the stupid phase most british cycling hipsters went through after seeing lance in stupid socks. Real tennis socks are nothing like what that idiot lance wears

Slack chain, No D/A Shimano, aluminium, non drive side pic, chain on wrong gear

So many rules.

I want to gold plate the rims of my wheels. Is that a good idea? Would that effect the stopping of the brakes? --Mike

that is a great idea!

Actual gold plate?

It is a terrible idea. It will look horrid, add unecessary weight to the bit of the bike you don't want to add weight to, it will wear off if on the braking surface and look worse.

Please tell me you are a troll.

gold wheels?
