Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I'm still waiting for someone to explain which parts are a lot of faff? It has brake cables, gear cables, tri bars, gps, and lights...pretty standard for a distance TT bike...so which bit is so much faff that the next step is a motorbike? anyone?

the felts are nice, we have loads in evans ATM. they are mostly dope the only felt i dn't like is the dispatch

^ well you might as well get a motorbike

or a lambo!

those green bits at the seatpost cluster and the headtube look like a homage to 80s ankle warmers FFS.

That FELT is a nice bike... Next time I do a long bikerace I would not mind doing it on that bike.. :)

that's sort of standard for tt bikes though, no? lots of big logos everywhere, so people know that you spent A FUCKLOAD OF MONEY ON YOUR BIKE!!!

the bigger the logo, the faster you can go, i hear.

yeah, that's what I'm saying, the bike (like any other tt) is probably a dream to ride but the massive logos randomly scattered accross with what appears to be designed in ms paint looks like a 12.99 bike from halfords.

just such a shame that all those young and useless graphic designers behind these bike companies ruin the potential.

Only one (the person riding) knows how good and quick the bike is but the other 6.706993152 billion people see the bike. So you wanna make it look as good as it goes. All I'm seeing is a power ranger paint scheme up there with flames and wolves on tshirts and wannabe banksy's

the only decent paint job Ive seen is on the bridgestone phm9 track as far as modern paintjob with masses of logos is concerned.

just the paint job, I like the bike

that paisley is awesome.

I have a matching polyester tie.

Looks like those colour blindness tests...

How do you put the pedals on?

How do you put the pedals on?

it's a 3d model, it's not real

??? this has nothing lost here not even for a stupid comparison like this. Oldschool! Pansy!

Sorry if I hurt your feelings by using Mr. Moser.
Batman and Robin are Super Heroes... therefore it makes sense.

lol

lol

kewl!

Now seriously that's a lovely bike, although painting the rims is too much for sure.

It's not the designer's fault the brief is probably:
**"Marketing says customers want it to look like the sponsored pro bikes. Leave no space unbranded because unbranded never made any money right? Oh and everything in slanty type... slanty is fast you know?"

**If you shot the marketing man, and let the graphic designer work with the bike designer... the results would be better. But that's life.

I have nothing against having decals/branding on a bike, just the way they put it is horrible. yeah, you get me.

How are you supposed to lock it? Urban FAIL!

who's gonna want to steal that ?? ^^

time for a hippstar mainstream ad:
