Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I mean, that simply cannot be comfortable to ride, surely?! (I'm trying to imagine what sort of stretch you have to the pedals), notwithstanding the (already mentioned) stresses that you're putting on what would've been a very nice frameset originally.

Sweens308,

It is nice to ride on flats or when you don't need to be out of seat. I don't stretch to the pedals.

oh my, I just tried to google a pukes on cock picture and saw something I didn't want to see, it wasn't a male hen being sick. Someone else is going to have to do it now I feel a bit queazy.

The Telfer is made from SLX tubing and La Piovra is from Columbus Cromor.

the type of tubing does not determinded how the bike handle.

this needs to go to the forum image board thread, I can't find that thread though.

always makes me laugh...

I like the chopped slack chain and saddle-turd... and the spoke card... mega lolz...

Chopping that chain took bloody ages!

It happens when I am out of seat.

Ah, then the problem is caused by the enormously excessive trail combined with a very slack head angle, which means the front of the bike drops when the wheel turns - you have gravity fighting against the castor. Fortunately, there was something just as unpleasant up thread which had a 650 fork and wheel on a lo pro designed for 700, so you need to get together with the owner of that bike and do a swap. Then, when order has been restored to the universe, seriously dude, get rid of this bike and buy something which fits. There is no shame in admitting that you have neither the suppleness nor the skillz to ride a real man's lo pro.

I just said that I prefer SLX to Cromor.

MDCC_Tester,

Yes, you are right. There is a huge trail with a 700c wheel and a very slack head angle. I already look at it. In the flats this is not a problem, but climbing out of seat it wobbles more the front wheel.

It's just a shame it's bullshit.

Ed always talks bullshit, we all know that

oh come on, you of all people should know that the geometry is more important than the type of tubing.

I hate to be a cunt (I lied already... crap)

that is one GOD AWFUL monstrosity. April fools isn't for another few months... when I first saw that abomination, I thought, wow, nice joke. Now, I'm in shock that it is real... FUCK ME! Mate, seriously, you will snap that frame, you look like a twat, and... well, I'm stunned.

Buy a hybrid.

the stem, the stem! my eyes! and the 12 degree headtube angle doesn't help. I woke people up laughing.

Edit: not that I haven't been responsible for hideous and disgusting bikes in my time. Including the one I currently ride.

I didn't say the geometry wasn't important, but the type of used tubing also has an effect on how a bike handles. Two bikes with the same geometry, one made from gas pipe tubing and another made from a high end steel tubeset would have very different handling characteristics, especially when climbing, descending or sprinting.

Don't worry about the stem is just for testing. So what is the "correct" stem?

From Current Projects;

It's epic isn't it.

It looks like a whippet taking a crap.

I may revise my opinion, as I've just realised it reminds me of this dog.

I have two already, but this my first porn bike and you guys are helping me on how to fine tuning it. Maybe I put back the 650c fork and use some risers (stem and handlebar).

Fine tuning it? Just sell it mate. Sell it to someone who will do it justice. Go buy a unipack or something.

this my first porn bike

!

The frame/fork combination is completely wrong. You must realise this and you must be winding us up!

I will test it with the new set up in order to know how its feel. Using 650c wheel will require a very high riser and it also will look awful. The good thing in a 700c wheel at front is that the BB height is very high even in comparison to a track frame. It is almost impossible cranks hit the ground.

If you don't think this bike looks awful, you need an eye test.

This is not a porn bike, the frame looks gorgeous but you, yes you, have turned it into a piece of shit. Step away from bike building, buy an OTP, and give the frame away to someone who actually cares about bicycles.

the fact it is a complete abomination that induces hilarity is brilliant

however it looks like an utter deathtrap

neither the fork or frame is designed to take the stresses the bike is likely to come under

please put the original fork back in and then sell it

Alternatively, buy/get these parts*:

Original front wheel
Original front forks
Silver quill stem, non adjustable, something like this:

Normal, STRAIGHT seat post, silver ali again, preferably.

Proper bars, like these:

And, of course, a brake lever to match.

Tighten the chain

*Disclaimer, not original, by any stretch, but will make it better than it is at the moment...

the bike is on acid
