them wheels would cost you something like £200 to build. Totally inappropriate for the bike though of course.

Although its a very "wrong" bike as is. £127 is kind of a bargain, I cam Imagine he put a lto of money into it. so of course hed be making excuses!

you guys are harsh. Some of the bikes on the last two pages just make me feel a bit "aah... he tried" about the owners. They probably think their bikes are totally rad - I agree they don't quite hit the mark but fair play for trying. Pengy stylez y'all..

aaaahhhhh.

couldn't agree more with tomasito about the "dry your eyes" decal though - ironic perfection, as it instantly makes you indeed dry your eyes and start cracking up at the waste of money achieved by just one sticker.

And the richard james one has made me lose a lot of the old respect I had for RJ as a designer. Stick to what you know dude, your zany silk socks are spot on. The decals are so unbelievably pompous (even when they're spelt right) I ain't sure what kind of joey buys seomthing like this - noone in my world that's for sho.

have you got a link? I'd love to see what that goes for.

Nevermind. Found it. £400 BIN.

They also don't match.



Apart from the front rim we've got no idea what the other parts are. But yeah it seems daft to have what look to be a reall nice set of (unmatching) modern wheels and a cottered crank.

Nothing is wrong with multi color, it just needs to be the right colors...

edit: woops.. racist! ;)

This one's close to being right imo. Black bars (drop)and stem lose the spacers/seat pin, black spuds, stickers off job done. I likes it.

hahah is that a Raleigh Record Sprint tribute bike?

Raliegh records are awesome!

My fixed was based around one of those absolutey loved it. I got a bit carried away with practicing fixed wheel bunny hops so its now departed.

Its only the enormous sized ones that looked wank.



Anyway, look at what I spotted on thursday:

I never even noticed!

That bike would ride horribly, mine rides quite well now. It works best with wide upright bars as the wheelbase is sooooo long and steering so relaxed.

Who is this guy, and what is the deal with him?

he's the UK bike polo champion, sponsored by specialized.

You'd think that thats why he has the special Polo t-shirt.

But he just really like the mints.

i rolls down to BLB polo sometimes, front and rear brake, aerospoke. pulls some gnarly wheelies..........not!

brokey linky

most of that will buff out
but i'd be putting a new chain on it to be on the safe side

like if barbie developed a crack habit and had to trade in her sports car for a bike to fund it.

surely thats in the wrong thread

Thought it bore a similarity to the 3rensho.

ive said it once, ill say it again...
that bike is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

*cough*

dead to me

But, but!

HA!

a simple change of saddle, stem and handlebar would make this bike into a bike porn, so if a simple change can fix this, does it still deserve the bike anti-porn tag?

what could be worse than double arrospok?

bottle cages to match the arrospoks..

that was posted ages ago somewhere in bike porn and got slated by me!

that's harsh, even by my standards, and especially seeing you own 2 frankenbikes
