Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

it's a piece of shit.

Accurate and succinct, I like it.

For anyone who hasn't clicked on the link above here's a pic. I think this is a seriously good looking bike, the colours are not to my taste but that's a moot point as I doubt they only come in one colour combination. I love the frame (hopefully it's in something lightweight, no idea currently as there are no details) it really is a bit quirky but in a good way:

^ most appropriate application of a gif to any post in the universe, ever!

I fucking LOVE that gif.

Probably a worrying amount.

yay it did work

wow, never thought I would see the asym super gooch in anti.
Easily one of my all time favs, not sure about the brooks and velocities tho.

But more I look at it, that is an awful build all around.
esp. sheriff stars on MSW veeps.

disappointed in you Tokyo Fixed, that's something I'd expect from BLB.

I don't know, I think the badness of the build rather matches the frame.

Good point actually. I like how the wheel is all the way forward in the drop outs and the tyre is still ages away from the seat tube. My Visp had better clearances.

½" gap is the new tight - see Look's research which led to the 596

it's not like that frame is built for maximum performance though is it.

are you saying it was built for looks?

horrific. What a wanker. Not even any pictures of merckx pantographs, so it's blatantly just some random old frame he decided to strip. and those cranks

^nevermind those cranks... bit of an espresso theme on the components. hazard q guess who is responsible for this....

I thought they might be here. Who...?

Utfs!

Sorry pete, you're not a wanker, as RPM so wisely says, its jus my opinion, good luck with the sail

i didn't know you could get chrome powder coat

I appreciate people that doing everything wrong building a bike so
complete that causes psychological trouble to name it as anti.

a major proof that we can buy everything we like except culture...

ps: thanks Bruce
