Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Weird thing this anti-porn thread. TBH the riddiculus yellow full sus, TT, touring bike makes me smile. Its a bit a fun that looks to have cost pennys to put together.

This however, is not funny, and does not make smile.

Sit up and beg, girls bike or not it's still hideous.

Slack chain, upside down BMX stem, chris king headset on vintage italian frame, bmx bars, terrible saddle angle, glow in the dark hipster pedals with cheap nylon straps...this thread is about getting it wrong, they have got it badly wrong and a puppy has died, of course you could reconvert it to geared but that's harly the point.

Felt 'Gridloc'

Not technically FG/SS, but wow......

No wonder people finish like this

My god. That is horrific.....

Not technically FG/SS, but wow......

Looks fairly singlespeed to me from the picture.

The rear facing drop outs and lack of cassette/derailleurs are usually a dead giveaway

three speed internal hub, check the shifter on the bullhorn

Errr... the gear shifter is an even bigger give away. Hub gears, my dear.

gear hubs and gold accents for 2010 ftw

fair enough, should've taken a longer look I guess and not just at the dropouts

Hi,
I didn't mean to barge in, but I discovered that some pictures of mine were used in this thread, back on page 57. These are pictures of Utility Bikes. Some of them are single speed, yes, but I don't know what they are doing here.
I'm not going to complain that these are copyright violations, this site's "fair use" policy is okay with me, but I wasn't given credit for the photographs.
This came to my attention when I checked my "stats" on photobucket dot com, and londonfgss dot com was listed as the site my photographs were linked to/from.

The "Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle" was designed by my Daughter Mellisa. I shot the photographs.

There is some video of these bikes, which I felt was important, because some people have said they thought the bikes were impossible to ride, as if for display only. To see the video, you must go to youtube dot com and
do a search for "Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle".

Again, these are utility bikes, and what appears to be an aerodynamic fairing is actually a cargo box.

Thank you for giving me credit for the photographs;

Wow, if I'd taken those manky pix I wouldn't be jumping up to claim credit.

The bikes are shit designs badly executed, but we might excuse that if they're done by children. You're supposed to be an adult, and you can't take a single decent photograph. Tragic.

I just check page 57, wich bike it is your??

when he said utility, think the opposite.

it's those silly fiberglass BMX mimicking a motorbike.

To James Donohue
Are you aware if you take a photograph of anything inculding this, and upload it on the internet it will be criticised, even if you don't agree?

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..

Is this your bike LDNGRRL ?

You chain is hanging dangerously loose indicating damaged derailieurs or excessive length.

No it isn't. Mine's on my profile thingy on here.

Looks the same to me

browsing though this thread i've realised, that i may review my ebay's watch list at some point

Looks the same to me

Put it here then if it looks the same to you then.

You are forum member 9564 the same as the member album linked, and you definitely have a photo identical to the one that is linked in DFP's post in your profile photo album.

Wait reading fail!
Sorry, I thought you was on about the fibre bike!
The bike wasn't done yet when I took that photo! Nurseholliday was adjusting all that whilst I was sitting next to him.

Here is how it is as of 2mins ago, it looks tighter to me? If not, let me know and I'll go about fixing it

(Sorry its a mobile picture)
