i would of thaught that a saddle for women that squashed the clit would be a good thing. there always on about getting more women cycling n that.

shit the bed

^^ so close (that look)

Look.

i have said it before and i will say it again, there is a very good reason bicycle design has never really changed since the two triangle was invented.

bike snob said it first. all these avante garde flashy design shits should stay out of something they know nothing about.

The reason is rules and inertia.

I don't want to start an argument about this, but I have to point out that bicycle design has changed a hell of a lot over the past 100 years, it's just that most breakthroughs in racing are banned within a year or two of their debut. The only reason diamond frames and drop bars are still used is because of UCI rules, not because they're perfect. Hence designs like y-frames, the Lotus monocoque bikes, recumbents, Obree superman/tuck bars and countless other things that the UCI have banned - all of these are (proven to be) faster than what we would see on a 'traditional' bicycle. They simply aren't produced by mainstream manufacturers, because most of their R&D budget goes into ways of making best bikes that comply to the rules, rather than making the best possible bikes.

Crank fail, lust otherwise.

Indeed, that bike is wrongness all around.
It's like a blindmidgettrickster's bike. A loaded one mind.

And if memory does not fail me, that same dude has a Mavic disc and front Mavic 'aerospoke'.
Much nicer, and probably adequate for the frame.

traing wheelset, race wheelset?

And if memory does not fail me, that same dude has a Mavic disc and front Mavic 'aerospoke'.

I assumed it was a chick's bike, based on the very low saddle, but anyway:

Nothing wrong with training on Ellipses and racing on Io/Comete, so just owning some cheap wheels for your 496 doesn't make it anti, although the cranks are very wrong.

I might have been too carried away, nowt wrong with Ellipses obviously.
It's the whole drivetrain that drives me maaaaaad!!

And the GI don't look track ones... ?

And the rear axle is totally slammed into the dropouts....

;]

The reason is rules and inertia.

You're partly right, but jakejazzy was correctly pointing out that non-bicycle designers almost inevitably come up with concepts which break the things which aren't broken on conventional designs while signally failing to tackle the issues which really are only "conventional" as a result of regulatory constraint or design inertia.

Great ad. I have one of those SMP saddles and I must say my anus, prostate, pudenda veins, deep dorsal vein and artery of my penis, scrotum and testicles approve.

What about your clit?

Talk clit to me......... And minge

that LOOK with out-of-place cranks is a multiple repost no matter what wheelset it's go on

And it still looks awful. I'm sure its grand for its purpose, but any time spent designing the looks is time wasted on enhancing the performance.

Stop calling it a clit. I have a micropenis and it's a real condition.

Potential!

the brakes are located in the back wheel and operated
by reverse-peddling.

Exactly what is this reverse-peddling? Does that mean you have to sell drugs to a drug dealer to stop the bicycle?

The classified I found the picture with is pretty recent.
Reason I posted are cranks and pedals, obviously...

And the rear axle is totally slammed into the dropouts....

which makes sense if the owner switches for a lower tooth sprocket for actual track riding.
