Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

How to ruin a perfectly good frame:

Politics anti-porn

Taiwan "Hi-Wheeler" (more like a "mid-wheeler" i guess)

landsharks are beautifully made and painted frames.

yup

oh my gosh! this fella has two of the most obscenely pengy bikes for sale:

At the price these bikes are sitting at just now it'd be worth buying them and breaking them. Surely you could get a pretty good price for the arrospok?
What i don't really get tho is what the fuck is going on with the cranks on the road bike. Most obvious in this pic:

Also what is with people that put loads of very very very similar pictures of the item on their listings? Do they not realise that every picture they put on costs them money and that we might rather see the other side of a bike or some close up detail of paintwork/key components?

Took another look and the mtb has things like magura hydraulic rim brakes and middleburn cranks, you could def make a bit by splitting them up and reselling. Whole listing does appear rather dodgy to me though.

Ahem... cranks

Dibs.

Eurgh.

ree ee post

still nice/ish in a kinda unusual way though

Damnit!

i really want those handlebars.

Dogsballs set the standard, if you put those bars on your Geekhouse that standard will be blown out of the water! Do it!

i think i'd have to build them meself.....
maybe someday when i have some time.

Ahem... cranks

He might not have put them on wrong, you can get cranks that are independent of each other, they're used for training as you cannot rely on the other leg pulling you through dead spots. Teaches you to even out power in a stroke, and also balance the power across both legs.

he has a pair, but doesn't want to copy me ;)

Ha!

I have seen a girl riding something very similair to this up Kingsland road. I think she was wearing a matador hat and had pom-poms on her shoes (or maybe I made that bit up). One of the more unusual sights I've seen in L-town.

There is a girl that rides a massive penny farthing, usually puts in an appearance at CM, got some skills on that thing, think I'd probably faceplant trying to ride one.

Yeah man... girls are wierd.

Not sure if this is a repost.. ?

"geek house", what a fucking gay name.

Eurgh.

jesus wept

the integration of the paul brake into the bars is so well exectued and finished lovely with a fantastic paint job.,
It's a shame he used 2 bits of scaffolding and a redundant spirit level for the handlebars.

I agree, I love things being made as a whole rather than a collection of parts. It's very much like custom motorcycles.

ROFL!! haha, coming from possibly the guy with the most hated bike in london!
