Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Nah - its the real deal - functional alpine transport solution. Hope it comes with the goggles.

2.5k I think.

The goggles are about 400-500 euros and I reckon the jacket will set you back a grand. The irony is the bike is probably cheaper than the clothing.

There will likely be a special edition that runs on goose grease (free range) that will be more in line with Moncler's pricing.

Why do Redditors have such appalling taste in bicycles?

Top Comment: "Maybe the best looking bike I have ever seen."

That's not anti imo. Paintjob isn't what I'd choose, but even then it isn't too bad. Everything else looks good otherwise.

You are right about redditors usually having bad taste though.

Everything else looks good

You're welcome to your opinion, however wrong it might be 🙂

I agree! That's nice enough. A set of black tyres away from being a decent looking bike. Anti is so harsh!

Anti is so harsh

The fact that it's exactly those features where the builder has gone out of his way to be distinctive which have gone so wrong is what puts it firmly in the anti-porn realm.

You're far more knowledgeable than I am about bikes, could you explain what makes this such an awful bike please?

It's not awful, it's just aesthetically challenged. You correctly spotted that tanwalls on carbon rims always look rank, but the paint scheme just makes them look even worse by drawing attention to the colour problem. As I've said before, with a nod to Susan Sontag, the apotheosis of anti is that the most serious effort has been put into the things which fail most spectacularly.

Wait what

Haha most excellent!

This bike made me make an audible “yuck!”

Uphill bars, downhill saddle so always on the level

Get in quick, just £1165 with 2.5 hours left.

Apart from mismatched tyres and the Gaston seatpost that’s ace.

Yeah, probably, but that seatpost makes it hard to look at.

Bit late to the party but looks like a bicycle pubes doodle.

I especially enjoyed the rollercoaster of the spacer/stem/bar selection.

That's impressive. Why that gearing? Why the saddle is so far back? Dogs dinner chainring? Bizarre bottle cage mounts? Who's designing that?
