Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Damn...

mdcc, you are a god among men.

Why the gold?

I like the titus, especially the gold.

Want!

Why the gold?

Really?
The gold is all you're taking issue with?

Want!

I like that except the large stem / handlebar section.

had so much potential.

what you talking about that's a beut

Am I think only one that thinks custom painted stems all matchy with the frame are wank? Probably not.

Bars. FAIL
Angles. FAIL
Saddle position. FAIL (due to slack angles)

Overall fail

it would take 5 minutes and a few quid to make it utter porn.
as i said, so much potential.

I quite like it. I'd prefer it on drop bars. Not sure about the chromed head tube - just chromed forks and head lugs for me please.

I do sometimes like the colour coded stems, on that one it looks alright but sometimes it looks bloody terrible.

Dude, that's a classic DQM X Trackstar... Awesome in its day (2006?)...

Yes quite! It is of an era thats for sure! Nowt wrong with a lumo (tri)spokked HHSB.

change the wheels, stem, bars, saddle, and that would be a nice frame

I like the frame.

I have one

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, posting tri-bikes here is shooting fish in a barrel, although this one is far from the most egregious example. I think there should be a qualification to be passed before taking the piss out of these bikes - you have to have completed an IM distance triathlon before you're allowed to mock the bikes.

Not that long ago, my bru... 2007/08? They were seminal and no mistake.
