Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

But that was clearly a joke?

Look$ like $hit.

I like it. What's with the tumours on the bars though?

They're bars designed so that you can do the sphinx position. A postiion which should be penalised imo as the rider doesn't have proper control of the bike.

I really want to see the rest of this video........ In slow motion!

Intermeresting, thanks Oz/Toby. Actually, showing my track ignorance but why not just use the curved part of the drops?

It's one that's puzzled me, I don't see what you're gaining by putting your hands there. A more aero position perhaps?

But that was clearly a joke?

Yeah a joke.

Right?

...Right guys?

Yeah, sure it was.

Are you suggesting Symon is a dangerous rider?

No, I'm suggesting that the position in which he is using in that picture is dangerous.

I guess its kind of like being on hoods, when you don't have any?

also vomit gif wins, took me a good 10sec to realise the little fountain of spew

I was going to say it doesn't take somebody with too much money long to ruin a porny frame.

Thank heavens it's shopped.

Not too sure about that, are the reflections on the roller door also chopped?

thats exactly what i was gonna say, seems like a lot of effort to add yellow reflections!

Are you saying it's real?

I don't know, it's an easy background to change a wheel on (easy to hide the old one) and the terrible photo quality conceals any clues and inconsistencies. At the same time it would be a lot of unnecessary effort to replicate the fluro reflections on the roller door and to match the quality of the donor image of the trispoke to the quality of the bike pic. It's all very much possible of course, but the picture being real is a more plausible possibility imo.

levitation?

It's up on the curb.

The saddle matches the fluro Trispoke too.

levitation?

Yh where are the shadows ?

hello pac man
25 days and 70 posts through, and you still havent got it
more to learn!

No, that bike could be much improved. Looks shit atm.

...but the ride! ah whatevz.

Change the wheels to be matching - most likely the front to go as the rear is a fixed hub gear(?). And black bar tape&saddle. It's the wheel that really kills it though.

Killing it since '09!

Thanks for advice.
