Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

@ bust-a-fatty and the Messiah Bikes...

I was going to say I thought the steel frame look quite pretty but then had a closer look here.

The specs are bullshit numbers.

"CRANKSET / ALLOY / 16T x 165L 1-1/8"**

That just *looks *like bike specs. Where is the frame sizes and geometry? What jokes. It reminds me of reading the bike blurb in Argos, such as "21 gear mens racy racer blah blah".

All the hipster-tourers know its front spok only tish tish.

Finally the solution we've been waiting so long for - no more hi-viz roadsweeper's uniforms!

At least they tell you that the chain has 98 links, important info that. Although with a 16t crank and a 16t sprocket, it might be a bit spinny.

That thing would startle and anger cars.

Obligatory slack FRAME comment.

Something not quite right here... Can't put my finger on it.

I love all the stats... Telling us exactly nothing at all about anything... They look good tho.... Impressive.... Its got a 1/2 x 1/8 x 96L chain, whatever the fuck that is...

I think this is the "blog" where whoever makes those sells them. Taiwan, apparently.

its a stair bike

That stem would come in handy on a trials bike...

eddie that must be a joke, clearly??!

It's given me the fear.. How can anyone be that stupi.........

"baby blue fixie"..

Oh yeah.

im pretty sure some hipster is rocking that cervelo.

In a clown suit, down Hoxton

Am I a wrong 'un for actually quite liking this... It's pimpy.. All gold an' that. Like a pimp's gold chalice and stuff. Would look good with ermine cycling shorts.

But then I liked Raleigh Bombers when I was a kid, maybe that's what it is.

Uhhh... Is that a repost on the same fucking page?

Look closer... ;)

Ugh... Waste of time and photoshop.

Oh come on asha, that hardly require a repost.

Two little things:

1) That bike doesn't look that bad, certainly not in the compared to all of those shitty conversions, some of which end up in the porn thread because they have been nicely colour co-ordinated

2) Like Intense, FOES can never be antiporn.

Those Messiah-bikes have the widest chainrings in town... 1 1/8" ...

I'll admitt it. My first thought was 'thats quite nice'. Then I noticed that it had no brakes and slicks. That frame looks like it wants to go places those tyres and the lack of brakes cant take it.
