Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

It's not hard to wrap brake cable around a tube while fitting it!

The hard thing is making a wacky frame like that. Big Win, as a joke.

oh yea, at first look i thought the cable went through the twists. - meaning it was twisted with brakes still attached.

i was wrong.

Are there other photos of this bike in existence?
Thinking about how twisting the frame with the cable still on it would have pulled the cable tight made me realise that it was either a really long frame to start with, the top and downtubes have been replaced/twisted then attached or it's a potatochop.

Ok so it's real.
Still, surely if you straighten those tubes out it's gonna be about 20 foot long?

and the head tube would be upside down. It was made on purpose.

That's the beauty of the joke.

Oh really? I thought they might have been in the same vein as White Industries or something. Look cheap but aren't.

that look cheap, the white industries defintely doesn't.

That Merckx was build using "Cycle to Work" scheme vouchers.

I'd love to get a Storck C1.1 frameset for my crabon roadie project. One thing which most reveiwers comment on is the responsive handling from the stiff front end. Not on this one I imagine :(

That just makes me angry! ^
