Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

por que?

Not a single decent part on that bike.

The headset spacers are nice.

The Gobi is a nice saddle too.

^^^ The pedals are alright.

The wheels on the aero Look are 32 spoke, not 36. Not that it matters that much. Assuming they're training wheels - no problem.

The Brooklyn would be a good ride. A bit heavy, but I think that's a moot point for a city hack.

Such a tyre kicker's comment. Your not going to be asked to expand on that (too boring) so you'll get away with it.

:/

Doesnt excuse the terrible bar position.

You would have thought the need for a 20mm stem, raised 80mm above the headset, would have hinted at the bike not fitting.

Get your tape measure out, that stem looks more like 70mm, given that it starts 50mm in front of the steering axis due to the Look hinge fork. Still wrong, just not as wrong as you think.

If the tyres didn't match it could belong to Ed.

No, sure. It looks (no pun intended) a size small for the rider, although the reach would suggest he/she either has a pretty poor road bike position or needs a shorter top tube.

Tis misleading, that headtube. Only serves to make the fitt look all the worse.

Pure guesswork. But that looks like tri frame, built-up for road cruising. So it may be more a case of inappropriate geometry than inappropriate size.

Yes, possibly. Fit actually doesn't look so odd here:

Everything looks to have been chosen for toughness and longevity to me. So despite the steathly, aero, look. I'm guessing its, as you say, a solid city hack.

Yes, possibly. Fit actually doesn't look so odd here:

Yeah, with 150mm of saddle set-back*.

(*could be an exageration)

I know it has to go in her by law, but its really not that bad

That bike is an absolute melon.

I think Ed is just morphing into problem troll with his builds!

It could be fixed so easily too.

You're right, it's missing a rear rack as it does have mount for it.

needs more spacers

needs a kestrel or two

porn or anti? you choose.

Look wrong at the same time really want to try it out.

anti

What is point?
