Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Repost. And it's only a BSO so it doesn't count really.

Pointless conversion? I bet it was pretty fun. Like saying a trials bike is pointless. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's wrong.

Is it my imagination or is that showing an awful lot of chain?

You're right, that is a very long chain.

Hopefully not a re-post...

Pinarello/Diesel combo...

There was about three pages of ranting about how foul that Diesel bike a few pages back

Ah balls :D

These would be really cool as a fixie without the brakes

They're not *that *bad. Interesting, at least. I really like the graphics esp. on the silver one - with a more normal tubeset (maybe the same shape section tubing but without the kinks), and without the nasty lime green, I think they'd look great.

worst sort of corporate approved bandwagoneering, frankly they can get to fuck - and that bike is utter gash.
/sure this has all been said before - needs saying again.

I was joking when I said 'Pointless conversion'
I'm sure its fun - very, very tiring fun.

Seriously, it is so fucking foul it's unbelievable. And bless the poor fella who owns it, he's so proud of his bike he's cropped the photo to make sure the wall it's balancing on doesn't spoil the awesomness.

You mad? All it needs are some gummwall tioga knobblies and it'll be fine.

Back in the era this is from, this would've been almost tasteful.

lol

Meh.

globe is not anti.

Is that what it is?

The white tyres look shite, as white tyre do. But otherwise it looks fine. The geometry of the frame is actually very pleasing. Slightly slopping top tube with a tight rear end, just like I like my......no hang on.

fujimontana you were just asking if you should buy one in the ebay thread. make your mind up.

Anti - tyres and maybe bar/stem (is 1 piece)

everything else though I like, and you can get them pretty cheap as well.

The fact they're made by specialized and I've always had good experiences with their bikes.

seat is solid plastic too

it's nice though, as far as plastic seats go.

Would you say a plastic kashimax is anti?

Tyres, saddle, then pedals.

The first things you get rid of on any bike anyway.

So its fine.

i'd also ditch the stupid stem/bars combo too, its a quill masquerading as an ahead

What are the cranks on the (gash) Pinarellos?

The black bike looks fine, I wouldn't even replace the tyres with black ones until I'd worn them out. White tyres are hipster but not necessarily ugly, as this bike demonstrates.

the handlebar/stem combo is a quill stem.
