Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I think he's on crack.

Posted here before, but making it into the top 10 beautiful bicycles makes it extra special.

Do not like this bike at all but as he mentions, this is determined from page views, not his personal favorites.

Also, is the colour scheme all that is 'wrong' with it? Because honestly, I don't think that qualifies it for 'anti-porn'. I'm not a huge fan personally, but I think I know a couple of people who'd go for a colourful bike like that one.

Yeah, I saw the pic while reading the blog :-)

Why I was reading his blog, I really don't know. He's just awful.

He is. But he does some interesting things.

He has a fairly high opinion of himself though.

Do they? Are they?
Shit-arsed little fuck-nugget aren't you?

Reminds me of another expert, can't quite put my finger on it...

That's hardly anti..

It absolutely is, the thing is an abomination of shit.

Let’s see your first build 🙈

In what way? It's a bike, it has pretty standard-looking parts, colours are normal apart from the toe-straps maybe... what exactly do you object to?

I'd be up for a dump of peoples first builds. Was funny last time, heres mine:

Touché! Not ashamed to say that my first build absolutely belongs here! The list of faux pas on it is very, very long indeed!

@SwissChap
In no particular order: frame immediate anti, msw rear rim with no brake, long valve stems, blue nubbin on saddle nose, grips, brake lever, brake cable outer length , fork, grips.
Not trying to rag on the owner, having a bike you love is way more important that adhering to subjective views from randoms , plus it's a right of passage to have at least one anti bike.
