Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Black rear wheel, foot retention and sensible bars and I'd ride it.

and gears, and a proper wheelset

I'd gladly own that and race it at Herne Hill.

As I've said before, how do you think your competitor feel if you beaten them on that monstrosity?

Controversial footware choice with the clipless, brakeless track bike. Fairly sure this guy ain't racing.

has there ever been a good looking Leader build, ever?

Because they work well for a lot of people, particularly with modern saddles where there is a trend for longer usable rails and for the mounting point to be biased more toward the front of the saddle. Hold a Turbo next to an SLR and you'll see it.

The Honda downhill bike on the previous page is by no means anti porn. It is arguably the best piece of tech theres been in DH for a while; allowing gearing with a single chain line without any tensioning device at all. It did indeed, and rightly so, win the world cup under Greg Minaar.

The Honda DH was only put there because somebody was confused or ignorant. Either way, they were wrong and the pic of the whole bike was posted to prove them wrong.

I might post it into the Porn thread.

Only about 240 to go then. When you're done, write a brief (200 or so words) dissertation for us identifying the top half dozen causes of anti-porn.

I would love to see that top 6

I don't think he's going to do his homework, he just flounced.
