Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

pretty sure its a 50's Gazelle

pretty sure it's an old Chinese work bike

You can't both be right, and you might both be wrong. The pattern is pre-war Raleigh, which was copied in India and the USA as well as China and Continental Europe. Unless one of you knows the provenance, it could have come from anywhere in the world at any time from the 1920s to last week.

I don't keep up with this thread, so probably a rp but....... urrghh!

"you aren't looking at a Halfords bike here."

no you're certainly not....

how did this cost £1200? I guess you have to pay a premium for 'unbrakeable cranks'

cos it was built before all you fixie skidders dontchaknow lol
i hope someone beats him just for the utter gayness of that spok

Are orange spoks known for being popular with homosexuals then? And there was me thinking the stereotype for them was that they had good taste...

I assumed he was using gay in the other sense, orange is very bright and cheerful. I'm out of the loop though, so maybe queer fixengers use spok colour instead of hankies, in which case that bike is announcing that the rider is up for anything

That does mean my trispoke means S&M, which is not a bad analogy of time trialling I suppose.

Humphhh.

apologies if a re, but I think Photoben took this today, anyway...how? why?

does anyone know the owner? if he's Italian, high chance I sold him that spokk.... he mentioned something about a NJS frame

So close yet so far? stem longer than the seat post, not a good look

Are you kidding? since when stem being longer than seat post showing is considered a bad look?

unless he looks like a squid, then he shouldn't have bought a bro-pro

rofl.

Since it looked like that, at the very latest. It was probably earlier when humans evolved legs longer than their arms though.

I've seen this around Hackney way I think. The dude looked pretty Japanese to me. (Waits to be exposed as ignorant racist.)

I'm pretty sure it's an old Chinese work bike... There is a big trend in China for renovating these old tanks.... Not sure why, but I guess that's China for you. To them, that is pron...
