Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Stupidity is not a trend it's genetic.

Jesus, that's bad

Stupidity is not a trend it's genetic.

To which, hopefully, the Darwenian laws might be a remedy... hopefully...

As an occasional eBay seller, I hate this: 'Lo pro, Fixed Gear, Track, Fixie, Custom..'

How come?

It doesn't correctly describe what it is. Rather, it's a collection of words designed to rope in hipsters/idiots looking for a 'fixie'. FFS.

all those frames are lovely but the builds are gash :[

Is this bar angle the new trendy stuff, hipsteresque thing now? the banana-bike also boasted similar angle.

Clever stuff really.

You want the ramps to give the MTB bar-end type hand position the old nodder mobile had.

Sorted.

Wait, I can no longer reach into the bends. I'll drop the saddle right down to get my fore arms past the tops.

Sorted.

Its all just evolution.

haha

Those team radioshack treks are utter gash.

When sponsors are left to design paint-jobs...

Does the headtube say:

W

N
K

?

Ha! Looks like it :)

wheel abuse!

i should be allowed to take it as and act of wheel abuse prevention... or someone else with sense...

Yeah, I do this whenever I put anything on ebay. Unless it's a freewheel or a shifter or something directly gear related. I wanna sell my stuff for as much as possible and all the fixie hipsters would appear to be loaded.

Putting track when it's not is a bit naughty tho.

Borneo i smell a DFTT alert

He should have traded it with someone a bit more appretiative of the tacky awesomeness that was the late 80ies. Another puppy down.

Would've done the same.

But kept all the chrome.

far from anti. honestly if you had a nice bike, and you didn't like the paint job on the frame wouldn't you do something similar?

EDIT: although i would have some clipless pedals, but thats personal preferance

Nah, I'd have permed it and put it in the shoulder pads it so richly deserves.

I know where are you coming from (and so is Chris), but it's more than just a simple respray.
It's bit like buying a naked titanium frame and covering it completely with stickers or stripping a vintage funky coloured one saddle etc.

He didnt like the paintjob, so he changed it.

So he did.

Not much would need to be changed on that to make it nice.

Change front wheel to match the rear (or at least have a white wheel), de-sticker rear wheel.

That's it.

red white and baby blue as a colour scheme?

Sure. But only if you actually are the"illest"
