Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Frank the Welder? is he's next door to Bob the Tailor? or was that David Fishmonger?

Google Ed ... Either Frank the Welder or Frank Wadelton

finishing kit

I hate this phrase. When I am in charge around here I will set up an automated internetomatic to ban it.

What the fuck is a finishing kit?

Your fault.

Rep!

Retro innit

Thankfully only one of these is available.. + can be yours for the best part of a grand.

All they've done is wrap an old road frame in bamboo....

This custom made bamboo bike was built over the past few months from a vintage 70's Azuki Japanese bike frame that was tenderly dismantled and the metal replaced with bamboo, high strength hemp chord was used for the joints with high strength epoxy. This isn't just atheistic, the frame is actually constructed with hand selected, oven tempered bamboo, only the joints contain original bike metal.

If someone chooses to buy a bike made of bamboo and in this condition then they deserves everything they're going to get!

^^^ Ugh, stomach churn

From the auction:
experts know what this is worth...

First two are not really anti at all.

#2 is deffo anti!

#2 looks like it was built for a giant.

Suppose it is ugly; the position is not very sporty and and it is fecking huge, I still don't think that that makes it anti. The bike is rather decent.

I am sure it's a fantastic machine to ride, but that color scheme is facking ugly. Bianchi phoned, they want their Celeste back.

Colour might be ok if it was just the frame and forks.

It's very much in the spirit of some mono-coloured bikes that have been slagged here ;)

Loved the colour, frame design look very weird, like the headtube for example.

One man's/woman's anti is another ones pr0n? ;)

Looks like head tube has some aero shaping going on, and fatter for cable guides?
