Boring.

Barn's post is definitely porn-worthy. It's made from MS-tubing, which you can't really see in this picture. We need some close-ups Barn!

I think they're Zipp, actually.

do you even ?

Why don't you make a 'Jeez's porn thread' and leave this one to the rest of us?

that roberts belongs here:

^^That Super Acciaio's lovely. Pretty much what I'd love to trade up to right now.

As for the elevated-chainstay Roberts; I have another '90s elevated c/s bike hanging next to me. They're quite heavy and flawed, but important (imo).
Porn they ain't, HHSMTB they certainly can be.

The red bolts in Rotor cranksets bother me to no end, they clash with every red imaginable and if you're doing the (shitty) stealth look you should just commit to it and don't think that stupid red bolt will hide your fear of making decisions.

Oddly it seems to go with the purple fringing in the image.
I do know what you mean, but that bolt's worth 2 points out of a hundred to me. Ace bike.

Stem looks crap but otherwise would.

You sound a bit heated.

^^ Pictures of bikes members think look good are welcome. Your bullshit's wearing a bit thin. Is any of that confusing?

Pictures of bikes tester thinks look good are welcome.

ftfy

No, you're a member

Chicago'd bars >>>>

I find it mental that people still believe in absolute beauty, as in the idea that some things are inherently ugly and others are inherently beautiful. It's all about association. I get that the Roberts looks a bit ungainly, but in its day that was a hot look for mountain bikes. No one would say they should still be built like that, but they evidently have an appeal. It's a lot to do with nostalgia. You just don't get it because it's outside of your frame of reference. Whatever, move on.

What's getting thin are the constant attempts to sanitise this thread. Fuck off! If I like something enough to think to post it here then I will, and you can all suck my dick if it doesn't meet your criteria. There are sooo many reasons why bikes (or ANY other objects at all for that matter) can be 'porn', aesthetically-speaking. It's not just about correctness or objective beauty. Also, FFS, get a life, it's a thread on the internet for pictures of pushbikes.

Now you really sound heated.
