Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I can't think why anyone would want to steal it so a winner there. Cleaning winter crud off it may be a bit horrible

It's a great winter bike. Thinks how warm it'll be.

SNAP!

u mad bro?

No, r *U* mad bro?

Shit's silly, look at it.

dons flame suit

I appreciate the work and attention that has gone into building this phenomenal bike, but this much colour-coding really is taking it too far:

i love it.

Racist, you wouldn't have said that if all the white parts were black.

That's because in black it looks half decent. But it is vile, it looks crap which considering the time and money thrown at it is a shame.

That bike is good tester of who's looking and who's SEEING.

I'm not sure there's ever been a proportional relationship between money spent and aesthetics when it comes to bikes. Money has gone there on performance which clearly isn't the same thing.

wtf is wrong with it? besides knoggles, Helmut and the nasty stem.

That's all bad taste, not 'problems'.
The front tire will spell 'teethless' soon enough for the rider.
The rear wheel's slammed all the way in to the track ends, still with a 28c. Good luck removing the wheel.
The stem is stoopid in that bike, the bars are wrongly fitted, ditto with the saddle...
Basically looks cack.
IMHO.

All of those things could be rectified in 10 mins! The downtube clearance is silly for road use.

All of those things could be rectified in 10 mins!..

But it would still look shite. C'mon, there's not even bartape...

surely not anti though? id own it, there would be changes but i think its sweet.

Really like that frame, maybe it's just the colourscheme...

shame about the rest of it.

the only shame is the saddle.
Epic bike- love the pink/ black colorscheme- I'd've made it more pinky.

The combination of TT bars and that gear ratio is pretty anti though

quill stem adaptor = automatic anti

If you changed everything on the frame it could look much better, but it still looks good despite the fails.

I don't really like the frame so it would be anti to me anyway. Everything else just confirms it's place in anti

The bike belongs to someone on the testers forum (I think), it's a vanity project that will barely be ridden so the money spent on performance is pretty meaningless.
