Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Makes my brain hurt thinking about it

Don't think i'd want to ride it but I still really like it. Looks rad

Looks rad

No, it looks fucking stupid.

The fluted DA's are nice. As for the rest of the bike... someone please put it out of it's misery.

i used to leave my bike unlocked outside a station in nagoya and then one day it was gone. i felt a bit stupid for being so trusting and thought no more about it until i got off at the station a few days later and there it was again, cleaned. i think someone had borrowed it and cleaned it to ease their conscience - only in japan.

what in fuck? that is epic. how is bike theft such a non issue in japan? (from what it sounds like). i carry 3 locks around with me totally 3.3kg and still worry about my bike not being there when i return.

No, it looks fucking stupid.

yes

c'mon; there's keeping yourself amused for a few days and there's completely wasting your time...

...and there's completely wasting your time...

and money.

But it's rad! Hipsterism isn't about saving money nor time.

Looks foolish to me...

But it's rad! Hipsterism isn't about saving money nor time.

True.

It's about being sick to the power of rad X infinity.

And if you walk your bike you don't really need to reach the bars...

makes my back and wrists hurt just thinking about it..

Oh my dayz ... best anti-porn post of 2009, i reckon.

Ahhh, reminds me of a bike on our campus at Brunel. It is a really crap peugot frame conversion. It has a BMX rear wheel, with freewheel and original cranks and a 700C front wheel. No brakes. I keep forgetting to take a picture... I will try and get one next time I see it...

And if you walk your bike you don't really need to reach the bars...

True, and it is all about the all-important push with the saddle, not with the bars

sorry, but i dont get the story of this bike, who it is?? Did he made it himself, as per welding?
could someone explain?

precisely what I was thinking, it look like he mixed the geometry upsdie down by mistake, what is the story? where did you find the original picture from? all I discovered is that the bloke's Japanese.

the host of the pic is finnish.

Oh so it is, whoop! dunno why I thought he was japanese, need to go to sleep.

it look like a student project, he got other stuff in his folder, like his home made bike trailer which look like a definte porn;

or this

this is his reasoning;

"Apparently the motivation/agenda for building the frame was the classic '...because I can.'"

No, it looks fucking stupid.

Some skinniest jeans around can be found - from all places - in Helsinki and not in Shoreditch...
