Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Actually they look a bit like Nite riders. But why are they mounted like that???

Aero for TT, innit. So you don't have to mess about with your setup when going between a tricky time trial then going straight to a night time DH session.

Seriously, this bike is perfect. Everything has been thought out to the last!

Hmmm needs more hand positions....

missing the tt bars

Some of these?

I really fancy building the ultimate pengebike now.

no, something more ugly like these:

What you want to add to that for pure peng is some really really over the top TT bars like carbon Xentis or something, then stick some bar ends and a bell on them. The forumshould get all it's unwanted bits together and create the ultimate horror-whip.

In answer to your question at polo, it looks a bit like a bottom of the line 1996-ish Trek full suspension (i.e. the one below the Y-11).

Boring non-fact: Paul Smith used to ride a Y-33

Haha whats going on here?

They look like orthopedic SPD's?

Should definitly see how many bar ends we could fit on.

oh no, oh no, oh no :(

Nice Tommasini!

That poor, poor tommasini.
It reminds me of that FUCK Francois' Pinarello that's oft linked here from FGG.

no race bike should have handlebars higher than the saddle.

I think a girl ride that bike, I notice that nearly all of the bike that person took photos of were ridden by girls.

netherless hardly a puppy killing since the frame is still pretty much in good condition, it's still possible to ride it geared.

Ed, I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

My saddle is as low as I have short legs and not completely used to riding on racing bikes.
As seen here

I think that's what Ed means..

I mean that the girl who ride them, ride them in more of a 'sit-up and beg' manner than 'speedy godzilla'.

That some women lack the confidence for proper race position, and thus set up their bikes with a more forgiving saddle/bar set-up?

Fair enough! I wouldn't make it gender specific, but that's certainly an explanation. Doesn't stop them being ugly, and it doesn't stop that Tommasini being so painful.

I, can openly admit I lack confidence. But Im still giving those drops a try, I have no idea if Im content with it yet. If I am, the seat will go higher. Otherwise change of handlebars. :)

more of a 'sit-up and beg' manner than 'speedy gorilla'.

fixed

But, but, but, saddle hight should be set to optimise pedal stroke?
It's the stem and bars that should decide position?

I don't know anything about bike fit, I just like pretty ones, and that Tommasini is POC furreal.
