Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Anti-Porn looks more inviting than Porn thread nowadays.

only yourself to blame, whilst you've been out living your life in the real world the people have been making the internet bad!

Yeah, fuck my life then.

50% piss take, 50% serious suggestion. If he gets the design right and brings it in at the same £219 as the Prima, it could be the basis of something nice. Not if Foffa builds it, obviously, but as a frame to build up with tasteful bits.

well, wouldnt ride neither of those, and im even not taking my beaters half seriously. Would like to have just cheap and cheerful Mash/Low/Leggenda style frame in raw alu without any decals for around 300-400ish with carbon fork. Leader is at the moment making something like that I think but thats just on one blogpost somewhere. (http://prollyisnotprobably.com/2011/06/cyclonesia_pedal_consumption_x.php)

get yours for 429e at http://www.pristinefixedgear.com/shop/ten-four-torro-frame/

the welds...oh my. Maybe with a lot of filler and sandpaper and repaint but like that it just looks awful. Worse than a VISP.

Yeah that is a lot of money for not so great craftsmanship.. I'm not one to automatically dismiss all frames with visible welds as anti, but this thing looks like it's being held together with blobs of bubblegum.

I really like the shape of the frame though....

I quite like the frame but I do wonder why it needs so many gussets. Surely the time/money spent on all the gussets would be better spent on stronger or nicer looking welds. I know hobbyist welders who can put out much nicer work than that.

Assuming its a trickster frame its fit-for-purpose.

Holy mother of god thats a shame! The dodici frame is much nicer made.

Oh dear jesus.......

don't like the colour but i'd ride that

so confused by your posts...could it be a troll?

if it gets ridden on the track it's hardly anti or porn. it's just a track bike.

I remember that in the prototype/early testing stage. Huge machined dropouts which could be swapped if you wanted to do a TT.

It's a tt bike, and not a very goodlooking one at that. Not what I'd call anti though.

could it be a troll?

Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Tried to give rep to tester but got rejected.

I've lusted after a Dean so many times that that Ridley makes me very sad indeed. Stolen surely? Surely no one who actually spent 2 or 3 grand on a frameset could be that heinous? Could they?

I couldn't make sense of that until I figured out that the bike's name is Ridley Dean. I thought you were talking about

Ridley has to be a joke; the pink bell?!

I'm torn.
It's admirable, yet, not part of my galaxy of wants.
And that galaxy is vast.

That's better than some of the stuff you've posted in porn.
