Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

It's like a game of naughts and crosses.

Dat saddle height!
Dat front brake lever!
Dhose front wheel stickers!

Harsh, looks alright to me.

He may have long legs. Front brake is still function. Just stickers.

Wow, Vince posting a mielec in anti!

It was just to annoy Hambar as he replaced his bullhorns by risers.

His saddle to bars drop is still mental

Front brake angle is not functional.

fucking speechless


the height of bulbosity

surely some kinda ironic statement

sob that did this needs to be in a chain gang imo
f3%@ a chain gang
extraordinary rendition methinks, to find out the whys

fucking speechless

Again, very normal with the dutch (if he's one).

I've seen this done to a TI Raleigh in Amsterdam, and some Kogas on Marktplaats.

Usually though Dutch people go "feck it, roadster". There's a million levels of wrong in luggage racks on roadbikes.

That's just a normal bicycle. Nothing special about it

<- Dutch person

^ ssst...it's bad enough being associated with Goldmember

<- Dutch person too

That's the GOOD bit actually, I wish I could get Smhooooookessssss here in NI!

But the accent...I got told on entering UK I "sounded a bit like goldmember" shudder :)

^ The description of that, if there is one, will no doubt be hilarious or infuriating.

Shite copy of:...?

I've seen a pic of that before, anyone have any idea what the intended purpose/benefit of the ridiculous seat tube angle was?

You'd have to stay out the saddle when climbing just to avoid flipping the thing over.

Shorter wheelbase for track racing IIRC - so no hills to climb

You can see bikes of this ilk all over Europe. Campyoldy has his own chamber of horrors.

I got to admit i'm impressed about the curved seat tube and post, Looks gash still though

Big outdoor tracks only, presumably. If you rode that round Calshot, the seatpost would snap the first time you hit the banking at 30mph.

On banked tracks, there is an argument to be made that a longer wheelbase is beneficial, because the longer chord lifts the bike further from the track mid-corner, reducing the distance travelled by both the centre of gravity and the centre of pressure.

For a split second I thought he was wearing stilettos...

gutless wonder

Made by the Finnish bloke? I reckon that looks pretty sick. Not practical but it looks cool.

Moser's bike was designed in a wind tunnel, I am assuming the curved seatpost has something to do with wind resistance.

Though his record got beaten later with a rider on a Colnago with conventional angles. Maybe they all just had a bit too much EPO which was legal those days.
