Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

So what's wrong with the chinelli apart from the shockingly shite attempt to take a photo of a magazine?

Here: now look at a proper photo. Didn't even take 3min to find it either you lazy cnuts

No, you're the cnut, why:

1. you can't even spell Cinelli
   
2. that's a fucking Cinelli (LOL) Mash, proven to be the ugliest frame ever!!!
   
3. it looks shite
   
4. it's built with crap
   
5. look at those bars
   
6. stupidly overpriced and advertised in a shit mag to impress twats
   
7. why would anyone want to see that picture better?
   

Thats not anti at all. They went for that old path racer look. I bet it was way cheaper then buying a guv'nor.

+1 i quite like it...

But the white tyres are wrong; cream maybe, if you're going for a retro look, but bright white; no. However, all the other components are modern, so in that case white tyres just say HHSB

They'll be cream after a few days riding in London Fields innit...

The white tyres ruin it for me

Personally I'm pro white, if you go for cream it just looks like you're trying to rip off a cheap guvnor - pashleyesque build.

I'm bias as it's very similar to mine, and if it's based purely on aesthetics, if you've got white decals on the frame, cream tires would look 'orrible.

Unmatched seat // grips is a fail for me though.

Ordi...I don't hate, I laugh at thee.

So I misspelt the name. You try spelling things properly after 3 days of being awake.
What's wrong with Cinelli? Quite nice aero bars, pretty decent frames from those I've seen/ridden.
It's not advertised, it's featured. Slight difference there.
The pictures too small to even see what it's been built with to call them crap.

Ok, the bars are crap. There's been a shit load of bikes in here where a change of bars would make it nice. Would you prefer it with risers?

Well it got some decent part like Thomson stem, San Marco saddle, Sugino 75 crankset.

The rest appear to be fairly standard part the like of gran compe hubs laced to those rigida deep v rims, gran compe handlebar, and that all I can tell.

it still look shit though, there are better Cinelli Mash build out there.

No one said there's anything wrong with Cinelli, the argument is about that particular Cinelli. Which is an ugly assfuck bike made for twats. So if you like it so damn much maybe you should reflect on what that makes you before you call others cunts.

I didn't say I liked it I just didn't find any reason why it should be in here.

If anything should be put in here then some effort should be made that a decent photo should be used so that everyone can see it properly.

Mashes are ugly frames, that shouldn't come as a surprise as a number of them have already found their way into this topic. This isn't the worst Mash i've seen, but what makes this example anti is the whole package with the little douchebag write up and the pricks-with-too-much-money magazine it's in.

See what he wrote here^^it's this. Overpriced piece of piss frame.
Made for jokers like you to splash money, which I don't care tbf.

99%* of these frames you see around are an absolute offense
to aesthetics, reason and any sort of cycling knowledge...
'Featuring' one of them, or that one in particular, in a hip magazine
only proves the point even further, made for tools.
There's no decent photo for a turd, it's still shit, it will always be.

*Waiting for the 1st yet to strip it and, maaaayyyyyybe, do something out of it.

Not a bad photo of a turd

my thoughts about the last page and beginning of this one are something like this...

Obla-di, obla-da, life goes on...

Not sure if this is 100% fully anti-porn of the same calibre as some bikes in this thread, but i wept a little inside when i saw this very careless fixed conversion of a lovely old Carlton Corsair touring frame... handlebar fail, saddle fail, wheels fail, stem fail, etc etc.

^Looks more like an ordinary bike being used quite a lot. Not great to look at, but functional without being pretentious.

yes, the lack of pretentiousness made me wonder if it was really worthy of anti-porn. i just think it's a really sloppy effort.

4/10 could do better sort of job.

Oh dear..

farts in glass, sniffs it

Likes smell

those cranks look interesting.

What is that bright green thing on the bars?

Is it a sick and mutated knog?

Green turd?
