Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

some road bikes ride really nicely you know

can't vouch for that though

I attest to that.

which set-up?

Ishiwata Exo H tube set road geo.... tried and tested yesterday

There's a difference between all gold/black bikes are crap looking (my initial statement) AND 95% are crap looking as their owners have to take it over the top (my correction) due to gold anodizing (too much of it), gold plating etc.

I realize it's a bit blanket, like saying all yellow / orange bikes are anti. No all or nothing allowed? Fair enough, I shall refrain from all or nothing statements then.

Anything gold on a bike makes me want to vomit. Anything.

Comparison based on...

Yess im Anti

Racing green with gold looks lush.

I think the stem is OTT, but the green with the cream is nice.

Gold is best ingested in small dosages...

If everything else was black, that little triangle would look cool.

that photo was taken with a flash... sparkle is way more subtle in natural light or shade of course

Reddit delivers again.

Getting really close to having had about enough of Reddit.

If not for the way virginal misogynists and white supremacists are dominating the big subs, the cycling subs are becoming intolerable.

Today, for the 18372791739th time someone posted that old photo of the guy falling over to look like he's cornering impossibly. This submission has almost 400 upvotes.

The comment pointing out it's fake is on -16.

Fucking morons.

The problem with reddit is that every subreddit on a certain subject is filled with a mass of people who only have a fleeting interest in the subject.
The result is that the top posts and comments are generally decided by the uninformed mass that is the majority userbase. It seems that subreddits have an optimum amount of subscribers and once that number is surpassed, the content takes a nosedive.

Edit, and don't get me started on the sexism, psuedo-liberalism ("I'm so liberal yet incredibly intolerant at the same time"), racism and every other degenerate red flag.

Whenever I see these videos, the soul-crushing suburbia of them temporarily saps my remaining will to live. The fact that you have a friend who is enough of a homie to film you acting like a tit, riding slowly through those wretched safe streets though is touching enough to pull me back from the abyss.

Hey, at least they have sidewalks, must be fairly old in NA terms.
