Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

The wheels are definitely circles

Better wheel brand name than Oval tbh.

Looks like the photographer found a box of bits upon arrival at the shoot, and had to make it look as 'bike-like' as best he/she could.

Oh, new 'nag looks pretty cool.

Wait, what?

Yup, that is gopping.

Christ. Dieter Rams would grind his teeth to dust looking at that

I think this little lad has nicked his dad's bike. I stumbled upon this on ebay.

600cc carbon rims, you need a motorcycle license for that.

... and what's the issue? It's a nice old-school cruiser, I've seen similar ones in use.

Lol‘d

It's no Pashley or Gazelle and the issues are many.
You have to look at the ebay ad and the one for their ladies bike to appreciate it. The use of wooden hand grips and pedals is inspired.

Meh, I'll give you the wooden bits, but overall it still looks pretty nice to me. I wouldn't buy one for a multitude of reasons, but it's not anti. I mean just look at the first two pictures on this page, compared to those abominations this is the most stylish thing ever created...

Looks like a lightweight version of a Flying Pigeon, which was a heavyweight version of a Raleigh Safety.

Looks like those bars wont be turning in a hurry with those cables like that.

Turn left for high gear, turn right for low gear.

This was in the related items. Shame the seller specifically states that the front light isn't included, that's a real deal breaker for me.

Brilliant.
