Bike porn

WTF are you on about lethal??? nout wrong with machined rims on a brakeless bike, they can look quite good.

oh gawd,

when someone sets up their bike for a studio photo shoot its begging for spoddy nit-picking.

I think you can get special stuff you put in the bath which will sort them right out.

Yeah, it was someone like, er... tom or was it dick..., may have been harry..... Who knows?

Surely you mean Tom, Rik or Harry?

anal nit-picking

urgh, that's put me right off supper!

Horrible naff lookin chainset,
Cheapo Seatpost with black fluting will only work with more black on the bike.

Bartape colour should be black to match seat.

Brakeless machined rims fail.

A £15 crank on a bike that cost more than a new custom bob jackson or a mercian is a failure.

Thats kind of the point of the anti-porn section, superflous builds with poorly chosen important parts. Making a bike that was almost awesome, very shit.

I think LEADER should get a pass on this one, as they don't advertise built up bikes on their webstore. I'm sure the crankset is a throwaway, and along with the other parts, are only used to advertise various frames they might sell. The bike as pictured, is not for sale from Leader.......just the frame.

which is why I use Open Pro CDs, can only tell the rim is machine when feeling it but doesn't look machined to the eye.

yeah, so do i.

...lovely rim job!

off prollys flickr:

and an affinity there too:

need to get one . .. but i got a h+son
on the look for one now . . .

Can't find them anywhere, I even looked at the larger padlocks but can only find 80mm long shackles (minus the shackle thickness 8mm). I need 80mm by 35mm to get round tube and rear wheel.

Would love to see more of that affinity frame... im sure i've seen posts about someone on here with one?
