Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Most Salsa owners here seem to be total kooks. All kinds of weird 'practical' or 'adventure' shit all over their bikes. Alternative for the sake of it.
The above appears to be some sort of Portland Banker Nodder nightmare. Jesus fecking Christ how much head tube.

Well, let me just join in the chorus and say that this bike is a shit stain on the...

Hold it, do you guys have enough bile to cover all the upcoming monstrosities?
Don't spend it all in one place.

Dem spokes.

^^ the new 722ts is so foul

So they've took a once decent Leader frame and fucked it up.
Don't fix what isn't broke comes to mind.

^this is not anti in anyway. Just here for reference.

decent Leader frame

...where?

Well if you a take a look in the picture below.

And the kagero is meant to be decent once you get passed the price.

please the price is the only reason you're not hating on it.

No.

I always liked those framesets* but recently looked into getting one and then saw the price only recently.

*How most people build them up on the other hand is bloody boring.

You mean omnimums, thomson and a spok?

Omnium, silly big silver Zen chainring, double straps, compact drops, sometimes a thomson stem and post, rims about 40mm deep and maybe a spok.

Well yes because I prefer the frame but for what it's worth the only thing my build had in common with what I described were the cranks and bars.

I have no problem with the build I described it's just you see Kageros built up like that all the time and it just gets boring.

And *you're

Found this today - frame is amazing. Kalavinka sprint frame with a ~90 degree seat tube, bi-lam one piece head tube lug (the head tube is like 8cm) and it's been raced. Amazing, rare decals and a gorgeous head tube badge.

The build? Not so much.
