Bike parts you hate.

I own one of these and it's comfy but ugly as hell

"Colleague of mine has one and swears by it. Makes perfect sense considering where saddles tend to hurt me."

While predominantly a machine, a tool if you want, even a fucked up beater with days rather than years to live, necessitate a certain element of style. This monstrosity however, doesn't meat this requirement in any shape or form.

At least in principle I can appreciate the "practicality", of this saddle, if you can call it that, but personally I'd sooner get neutered than mount anything thing like it.

^^I believe saddles like that are illegal in Spain, Scotland and one or two of the Nordic countries.

Mmm,normally I'd agree but ball pain/damage is quite a big deal me thinks so I'd be happy to take the hit on style for a significant improvement in comfort.

I've already taken somewhat of a hit in style by running my track bike saddle somewhat nose down as I find this helps.

Last time I saw this guy on the left, he was quietly undertaking me in the middle of a Dunwich Dynamo, softly uttering the words "I'm coming inside you."

Specifically, black rims with silver braking surfaces.

^ +1. Rims should be full black or full silver.

^^So true. More so on a brakeless FG. Surprisingly enough it took 500+ postings before we saw that one listed.

Mudguards...

...in any shape or form.

Let's face it, they're about as useful as a regulator and air cylinder when scuba diving, but that doesn't mean I have to like them.

*I'll just keep pissing myself, that way I won't burn so easily.

Not bike parts specificly.

I always see commuters in the morning in lycra that cost more than the bike they're on
It really fucking bugs me.

whereas we ride expensive bikes in old ripped jeans and tshirts..

i.e. polar opposite hehe

Ha!

Sounds like sensible cyclists leaving the nice bike at home for the commute....

You're right you know.

I have an image of a dude wearing £1k+ of Rapha on a Marin Hybrid sweating out his fat MAMIL glands and Shinkuu Kiss wearing a vest and some shorts trackstanding the 3Rensho like a boss.

picture says 1000 words.

I did forget to mention the kind of bikes I see them on are Halfords own brand bikes.

No.

But...
