Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Obvious troll is obvious...

Although, the rear wheel alignment does let the Tommasini down a little.

Wheels are wrong period. Visually OK...depends on how fussy you are about time correctness. I personally wouldn't put those one.

Agree, would have went with silver not so deep rims.

Isn't this Tommasini a new frame? They just don't look good on steel imo

^^ er ew?

I've seen modern groups on Ciocc too. I guess if its a new frame and you want to be competitive, why not?

I'd go for a more modern style frame myself if I want to use modern parts but well...its a free country :)

No idea why...

Typical "lost my driving licence, FukThaPolis" build.

Why build it like that?

There is an electric engine in the front wheel. Use that two stroke with a better exhaust to just power the battery of the electric engine. That way you have a hybrid system. The electric engine is far better capable of producing a nice output and it will handle better. Using that two stroke directly on the rear wheel is just plain dangerous. Still a nice way to travel a long distance (say 1000 miles and up)

^I'm not sure that makes it anti, maybe the owner has more than one stem/bar combo.

Thought that straight away, i don't move mine when i put risers on, the grips hit the top tube.

Ahah tx. I hope they have zipties though...some cable spaghetti at the front.

True, they have been killing people for 75 years now

Well you know...French engineering.

Hi!
This is so much fun.

Successful troll...to me :)

Just messing. French engineering has a bad name in NL/UK...me thinks it's due to these weird suspension cars they had in the 90s (I believe?) that were near impossible to fix if things went south.

You can't blame the French for blackpool.

Hah, excellent :)

Hydragas? wonderful invention, there's a bloke lives near me specialises in fixing it.

No idea why...

Looks like this guys bike...

You mean french engineering is worse than jaguar/TVR cars? can't be true, nothing worse except maybe italian one.

Hydropneumatic? Citroen?

Predates Hydrolastic and Hydrogas which were largely developed by Alex Moulton and used by BMC / British Leyland in (amongst other things) that engineering masterpiece the Austin Allegro...

I've nothing against French engineering, just cranking some handles here. No idea why it has a bad name. Apparently even Italian cars are fine...as long as you drive them in nice dry climates. So not the UK then.

GAG2?

Not seen him about for a while.

Pininfarina...
