Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

aluminium locks..
they seem to do the job in Japan tho

I like that paintjob on the Vivalo... rainbow is the new black ;)

Too bad it's owned by an idiot...

There's no freewheel on that bike.
Just a monster gear with no brakes or foot retention.

Looks like 54/13 !

Somebody make a yo dawg with it already. "We put a handlebar in you handlebar, so you can ride while you ride"

Has that Shamal been painted white?

weeps

Out of interest, what frame is that?

It's a Carlton, that is all I know

i'm the same i think it looks nice, i'd only change the bars to drop bars with a more standard stem as thats my prefrence,

whats wrong with the seatpost? is just a seatpost

That's what's wrong with it - on a bike with such nice bits and pieces i would like to see something posher than an OE taiwanese offering, thats all.

agree to disagree, i'm all for nice parts where needed, but a seatpost is just a stick to hold a seat where you need it, so long as its not heaver then norm then its ok in my eyes,

i've never ever looked at a biek and gone, ''whould be nice, except for that seatpost'' you might as well complaine that the seat post bolt is the wrong colour, its not important in my eyes

I still mourn the death of my shamals. I was trying to convince myself that wasn't really one painted white...

And look wht the fucker has done to the chainset?

Your eyesight is obviously keener than mine. From the picture, it could be an entirely appropriate original French Laprade, or a perfectly acceptable Japanese SR or Strong licensed copy of a Laprade, or a modern generic Taiwanese copy. The design is appropriate, so you are quibbling the manufacturer's mark which we can't even see.

The only way this will be resolved is if you contact the owner - I must know the truth...

tbh tho I still don't THINK that it suits the bike. Key words there being I and think.

Just think it deserves something more elegant.

Looks like Japan. They've got different standards :-)

I don't get it. I'm all for people doing what they want with they're own shit but Shamals just look so good in shiney shiney silver, why would you do that?

How many white Shamals you've seen in the world?

Just sayin'.

That's my bike you prick!

I like it. Nice disk

Just to say, some o the bikes you brand as anti aren't that bad. And half the point of fixed/single speed is being able to do whatever the fuck you want. Personally, I like jacks bike. He probably does too. I bet it rides like a dream. So leave him alone!

Fozzi gonna Foz.

[green le king] it's certainly the sort of bike I would take long distance touring

[translation] I would not ride this any where near where I live[/ftfy]

Like the picture. Not getting the pun.

repost next

My god, whatever happened to the stem/handlebar?! Remind me of some Star Wars battle equipment.

I it one of these...

1 and it looks shit.
