Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

^^Yep, totally cool with all of that. The only reason I don't have a saddle bag fitted is the faff of transferring it between 3 bikes. My dream is to have a three full sets of tools in a saddle bag on each bike.

Valve caps are just unnescessary. I dont find my partner less attractive just because they have an appendix.

Spacers make the bike comfortable to ride.

One thing I would do though is remove the stupid branding off the rims.

And swap out the frame for something less lumpy and overpriced.

In the same way as condoms are anti in actual porn. We all like to fantasise that we can ride without our cranks coming to harm, in real life it's probably not a bad idea to slip on some protection.

So would a 17° stem and that wouldn't highlight the builder's failings.

I'm sure there's something I'm missing here but to me it just looks atrocious

Any 26er in that size would. My old MTB was an absolute eyesore too. Could be nice with bigger tyres and mudguards

This is 650b (Pacenti Pari Moto). Looks a lot like my Pina used to with 650b. But gold and black doesn't work (here).

This is 650b

Precisely. What has happened here appears to be a fashion victim going for 650B when they are easily tall enough to have grown-ups' wheels.

Can be pretty cool though:

Or maybe it also belongs in Anti, can't tell anymore at this point.

Mainly terrible
