Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Ah nice, thanks. I'll have to pay it a visit!

Does not belong in anti but in the rat/ frankenbikes thread

Wasn't expecting the tiny rear wheel!

Def not antiporn (imo).

The only thing anti is the slack chain

Or innovation thread / webbing thread?
One day there will be a thread for every individual bicycle ever made.

Frankenbike indeed. Though where it does fit in is a gravel tt caregiry, no?

All yours for £750 on eBay at the moment

Wow that's really disgusting

Bastard child of Pengy

I think matching fork would actually improve on things:

Probably the only bike that ever existed which would improve by installing those forks

Full marks if you can find a bamboo Aerospoke ;-)

There are wooden and laminate rims. It's just a question of when some crafty engineer is going to glue two and two together.

Some very compatible prices on those bamboo bikes although all are incredibly hefty while simultaneously looking like they might snap at any time.

Cargo bike is cool though.

Er, screaming ‘check your life insurance’ to me. Yikes

Ugly as they are - the effort gone into these is pretty nuts.

The leather LV jockey clegg nut on that Brompton is particularly toe curling...

Probably a repost given date but just saw this retweeted.

The rear brake recessed nut… why

Not sure, but maybe it has something to do with the rear pads being on backward???

rear pads being on backward

Meh. He's not going to get up much speed with no pedals.

Strange build for someone who is a “technical representative”.

Not when it's for Trek.
