Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Asking price is €3000

Looks like a distant relative of the even fuglier rondo:

Geez that's really leaning into it, huh

It’s definitely quirky, and I would put bigger tyres in there. But I like it.

Bigger tyres will be in it. I don't like the bars, and the rings are the only ones that fit.
Stuff to come.

Harsh review. Haha

Bar and lever combo is ...interesting, but it's the deep wheels making that bike look silly to me

For me its the rim-brooks combo

The gearing belongs on a mountain bike.

Don’t low gear shame. Most bikes are way overgeared.

Absolutely, how often do most people need 52-11?

Rest of the bike seems more or less in keeping with the Brooks, IMO

now you see, I dont hate that. Make a road bike out of a functional frameset vibes.

Bars and hoods are a bit ugly, but the build is fine

I was worried it was just me thinking that...

Needs spoked wheels and to lose the stupid derailleur cage.

Repainted frame...

Reflecto anti pron

As a Rapha fanboy, even I think that's weird. Who's he trying to fool?

Doesn’t get much worse than this

Wow!

Weird how the seatstays and top tube are in a straight line, but it's still only showing a normal amount of seatpost... I guess that cop is five feet tall with arms down to his knees

the long arm of the law

Apologies for the screenshot - not sure how to copy pictures from eBay, but this is up there with the worst things I’ve ever seen. Appreciate triathlon is low hanging fruit, but still…
