Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

It will break in half eventually. It happened already. Try to listen to guys - they may be crude, but some on here have quite an experience with bike racing, maintenance, professional bike and frame building...
Bring this Frankenbike to drinks and have a chat.

Thanks for the advice. I rode both , the Telfer and a real track bike from Alien bikes, tonight. It is not worth the trouble with the Telfer, maybe someday I will buy a La Piovra frame ( I liked those curved tubes), till there I will ride my KHS Aero Turbo - converted to fixie, which has the curved seat tube.

Post a photo of that.

It is being painted.

tag team trolling.

and, Sherlock, you conclude this on the mountain of evidence or because I don't express the same view as you?

You are, of course, spectacularly wrong, but I'm guessing that's not a strange experience in your world.

Before:

Thats lovely.

I'm betting the screwed version cannot be rolled forward holding the saddle alone. Even if you have zero bike knowledge, this should set off some alarm bells.

can't believe that with all this louisc1 baiting no one has commented on the cycle pro. that is possibly worse. could well have been built in the dark, by the light of a knog frog.

built in the dark, by the light of a knog frog.

So... in the dark.

er...that'd be correct

Fruitbat,

So what? Is there a politically correct aesthetics ??? Who are the high priests of that concept??? Are you one of them? Do You patrol the internet in order to admonish the heretics? Oh My God!!! My apologies for offending one of the HIGH PRIEST !!!

So there.
No.
Tynan.
Yes, but only an acolyte.
Yes.
Priests may exist, but God doesn't.
I will accept your apology, after the high priest has fixed your bike (it may have to be smeared in human excrement)

Seriously, though, it was you that first raised the aesthetics of this bike, and, as others have said , repeatedly, there are a few 'engineering' issues too.
Form and function, innit.

I still can't believe he doesn't see the safety issue... It's stunning. You will loose your face. Several teeth too, probably...

just leave it as it is and wear a full face helmet...simples

fuck it, enough people have advised him that it is likely to fail

perhaps he is going to be using the hybrid/lo-pro/cruiser very slowly, at least that would mean he does not lose as many teeth/square inches of skin when it self destructs

this is like shooting brain dead fish, in a fish diameter tube, with a harpoon running down the tube, for this reason I think i must bow out

You'll d still miss James

@Louisc1:
could you put the picture of the bike back up? Since it produced such a big discussion it deserves to stay up. It should be in the gallery for future generations to see it and learn.

yawns

yawns

agreed

moving onwards

Reeeeeeepost.

sorry...just trying to get back on track

argh, even the lock clashes

you can always rely on a leader to be built up shockingly.

actually no mind this! a few errors naturally, but loving the rasta ped's. brakes on a non-machined side wall? must've been smoking green as well as trying to coordinate it.

red lock, yellow bits and green frame = rasta bike

It'd be nicer if it was a deeper, glossier, yellow rather than pale lemon jazz. A guy who I used to work with always used to say it's supposed to be red, gold, green, not yellow. Don't know how true that is but he always insisted it had to be a deep, full, yellow. He was always high so that may have contributed to his thinking.

worst yellow ever

pedal strike.
