Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

lithium ftw

arent spinergy s exactly made for this purpose ?

Sit up and time trial...

#Potty

Not a TT bike. Thats the tri shiv.

It also looks able to carry 2 1/2 liters of water so I'm assuming it isn't for 20 km time trials.

I would guess at that being set up for a much longer TT - 12/24 hr or an Iron Man?

^^^ hm, new category: anti-functional?

I loved the original factor bike back in the days when it was simple, this is just no!

Mad wheelies.

Zipp with 3G lacing? Seems legit...

Im pretty sure the shiv comes in TT and a (non UCI compliant) tri version. That looks like the tri.

So iron man I'd guess. Or maybe they're just mad thirsty.

Yes, I think you're right.

If I spend an hour converting my sexy aero road bike (eye of the beholder and all that) into tri mode. It basically looks like I've spent an hour beating it With an ugly stick.

Function bikes like tourers, aggressive DH bikes, futuristic TT bikes.....can all be porny. But tri bikes always look terrible.

Thats actually pretty interesting.

I Wonder if it would be a quick and economical way of producing custom shaped aero frames. 3D print a framework designed to optomise aero-Dynamics for a specific riders size, shape, and position. Then vacuum form a polymeric Outer layer over it.

Probably loads to be gained from using a similar process on TT bars.

Gotta love 3D printing.

Spent thousand investing in a bike made from chicken wire.

It wouldn't. The quick and cheap way to make custom aero frames is to CNC mill structural foam to the desired shape minus a few mm, then wrap in pre-preg carbon fibre, bag it up, suck out all the air from the bag and cook until crisp.

What happens to the foam? :o)
