Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

apart from being hideous

its not that bad, seat angles a lil off but apart from that its just random parts, probably rides just fine, i bet the owner just used parts laying around

you lot can be to fussy sometimes

a couple of straighter tubes and that first one could look very 22nd century

That frame is frome a cheap decatholon town bike. So I think its a pretty fun cruiser bike all in all. I wouldnt have it fixed though.

No it's not, frame is $875.-

it is bad, seat angles a lil off, as well as that i bet the owner just paid a lot of attention to colour coordinating the rim decals, chain and forks. Yellow is a cool color yeah? Looks like he's stripped the parts of his road bike and bolted them onto a £90 frame with a cheap back wheel.

you lot have a good eye for this stuff

I like this part.

Not sure if this is anti or not. This rolled up and locked up outside my office building today. Very Mad Max...

I recognise those markings from a mountain bike design.

No way man, this looks amazing!!!!

yeah a different seat on that and it'd be right nice

Had a feeling this one would provoke controversy.
I don't get it - its not a folding bike so why the tiny wheels?

You could ask the same question to Alex Moulton.

20" wheel bicycles does handle quite nice, the last one I used were an old shopper that i made lighter with just a single coaster brake, it was fun and nippy to ride, with a proper frame, I've no doubt it'll be even better (since the shopper flex and weight a tons to compensate for the lack of triangle).

home made recumbent = epic win

20" wheels are fantastic when they are on a BMX.

AFAIK, the Japanese Mini-Velo is a response to limited storage space in small Japanese homes. On the other hand, it might just be a needless perversion, since the Japanese are good at those too.
