Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Your pictures don't work.

You're Swansea based? That's were I grew up

Your pictures don't work.

They do for me.

Indeed I am. I was firstly drawn to Swansea Marina's desperate efforts to fade before Paulus Quiros's 'signature frame': The Pike/Puke.

It's a shame really, I so enjoyed their more traditional/conventional efforts

Worked at home, not on my phone.

@Eamesy and @scoot both are Jacks too, Swansea contingent is growning.

Jack Army!

What's up with those Thickslick tyres? Seem to come as standard on all shit bikes

I would like to join the Jack Army. What's the pay?

Trust me you dont want to join.

Never a truer word!

Jack shit lol

🍆🍆🍆

That's not really the worst angle though is it...

I give you this fugly fucking mess..

You've heard of bullmoose, now get ready for dropmoose? Absolutely fking hideous!

Two stems is more aero than one, I don't think so.

Adjusting your bar angle and stem length will be fun.

Wrong, S5 is great

Adjusting your bar angle and stem length will be fun.

Same as canyon aerocockpit and every other one piece bar/stem

It’ll be easier, dollar$.

It does remind me of the canyon double stacked aero bar from above:

It looks like about 9 months worth of cad drawings, wind tunnel testing etc and then someone went "Aw fuck, Garmin mounts, eh...just drill some holes in the bottom"

"Aw fuck, Garmin mounts, eh...just drill some holes in the bottom"

If you're not going to tie the thing down to exactly one GPS/computer, sticking a couple of tapped holes in it is about the best you can do.

That probably explains why Cervelo didn't beat a path to your door to recruit you to design their new bikes. I can think of at least a couple of ways the bullmoose design might lead to less drag from the bar/stem assembly, but that's not even the main reason why they did it. As with F1 cars and fighter jets, much of the work of the bit which hits the air first is shaping the flow onto the bits which follow after.

^ ground effect bb shells next. You heard it here first.
