what an abortion! and what a waste of deltas.

Yup, Delta + Frame combo makes me wince.

Stop adding and start riding.

Stickers!

sorry I didn't realise it was an off-road bike under all that shit.

I hear the sarcasm... it's not an 'off road bike'. It's just a bike, in England, without mudguards.

The more I look at it the more I think it probably is built to work. I'd not write the rider of that off as an idiot.

@seeds

The wire for his little bike computer thingo is wrapped around it. You can see the magnet attached to his spoke. Obviously the owner likes to keep track of the serious training miles he does on that thing.

How is that seat clamp the wrong way round? I know of off-roaders who do that to keep crap out of the threads.

Yes, but off-road bikes often have a forward facing seat tube slot for the same reason. IMHO that was the wrong way around and would possibly have less effective clamping force.

WTF is up with those brakes?

Campy Delta brakes. Very sexy
(hear mixed thoughts on functionality though).

Swap the wheels for a pair of original Shamals, lose the Spinaccis and delete the 'Art' option on the Grammo stem and it would be quite nice

It would be pure porn IMO

Did'nt someone on here buy that exact same saddle recently..........hmmmmm

checks current projects ;)

you know your riding it wrong when this happens:

Campy Delta brakes. Very sexy

I don't think they look too nice (but thats probably cos i'm used to regular sized things) even though they're campy

That is made by a guy who posts here on londonfgss.

I forget his name, but he has done some very nice stuff.

Does it come with this?

and that bike is ultimate porn, its like beauty of female curves, but bike curves
lacks a chain though....so other than slack chain its pure porn

I prefer his SUV bike

Those wheels terrify the shit out of me. And I want a rear, right now.

It's a weird bike, but defintely not anti-porn, top mark for actually making his own stuff and wheels.

not anti, he makes some great bikes. and a mono fork.

I dream of a day when I live in a place that allows me to own his SUV bike.

Poland?

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-post

thought it might have been..

The Fugly Fuji looks fast as fuck.

What's with people posting anything that isn't shiny and colourmatched in this thread? Is it because it's these kind of bikes that get ridden past you?

:0

I think the Fuji deserves to be in the epic fail thread, TARCKBIKES.COM? :)

quite like the Soma, the geometry is a bit weird, but i recon the right person to fit that bike can do some good speeds. Looks quite sexy as well with the custom graphic disc.

'tarckbikes' isn't a mistake eddie.

Your fail.

Your fail.

damn, its hard to read but i was pretty sure it was tarckbikeS.com and nothing for such name exists....fair enough then.

i think the frame is sexy good job to the guy who made it, but i wouldn't put those wheels, stem bars seat or cranks on it.

some of the anti porn stuff is only Anti because its mismatched like a bitch

EDIT. looking at his site it looks like he built this bad boy too

which is one of my all time favourites
