Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

^ You what!?!

Cinelli Mash Geo as well

Bit stupid the way those double straps manage to be fitted together¿?

I've lost count of how many of these horrible bikes have been wrongly posted on the porn thread,

Don't be daft..

^ You what!?!

Exactly..

whats so horrible about a 1993 cannondale track???

Simply because it's being ridden on the street instead of the track, from what I assumed Mitre is going on about.

Who gives a fuck, it's a nice bike and that photo is of a particularly nice 'build', that is all.

Actually, the stupid risers on that build are a minor problem. The real reasons why I hate Cannondales are the aesthetic disaster that is the poorly matched fork and the offence to engineering of the cantilevered track ends. The faux-pro geometry on that size isn't helping. It's a couple of small changes away from being a very dull and ordinary bike which shouldn't then find itself on either thread.

Am I the only person who likes the mis-matching of forks on tubing on those 'dales? I think it looks great! (if a little strange)

it matches the rear seat stays

I have to admit I do prefer those cannondales with bullhorns/TT base bars but this is in no way anti. The forks suit the bike well. Open sports also seem a little lo-end on this bike.

Nope, I love it.

no i really like them too, i think they go together really well, infact i was thinking of getting a pair of flat crown forks like that made for my Burls

"do it, do it, do it..."

Nope, I love it.

me too, would love to own that bike

So many nice components on so many not nice bikes :(

Cinelli Mash Geo as well

cinelli wasnt the first one in 2009 to have such a geo...

haha, why? Apart from the protector I think it's a lovely SS build. Personally I wouldnt ride it with a crankprotector, but the rest of the bike is tits.

I know...I was emphasising the point that I think the Mash looks crap.

why?

1: Top tube pad
2: Risers/track stem combo
3: Risers on a lo pro
4: saddle angle
5: seat post the wrong length - to be total porn with those posts, you have to seek out the shortest one that can be used without going above the limit line, not the longest one that doesn't encroach on the aero section
6: cable adjuster on the gear lever boss
7: chain guard
8: bear trap pedals
9: half toe clips
10: "magic gear" which isn't actually magic, check the alignment of the qr nut and the dropout
11: fake Turbo saddle
12: unmatched tyres
13: rear valve stem too long
14: 36h F / 32h R spoke count fail. The other way round might have been acceptable.

point taken

Now that's an assassination
