    It looks strangely like a converted TT bike to me

    Given the reactions I get to my posts in the beauty thread it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.......I like it!

    Whats going on between the seat tube and the rear wheel? Looks like the clearance might be just nanometres.

    It's a TT frame.

    I was trying to figure out why it looked so wrong and I think its the road bars. Oh, and that atrocious Exorcist vomit green.

    Ive been lusting after a gold kmc chain for the rt58 for the last few weeks, dont know whether it'd look savage or pure gaudy though...

    I just put one of these on one of the bikes last week. It's nice and quiet.

    Given that is prohibited by mods to voice a negative opinion regarding bikes posted in the Images of Beauty thread, I am wondering would it also be prohibited from positing positive opinions about bikes posted in the Images of Ugly thread.

    Looking at you Darkglasses.

    Agreed. Down with opposing points of view.

    Theres more ugliness in the beauty thread, lately, and the ugly thread has developed its own sort of rugged beauty.

    If I owned that bike, I'd leave it in the middle of the road and wait for a passing lorry to put it out of its misery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭Hmmzis



    Well, at lest the bikes look appropriate to their name. Not sure if it's mentioned on the site but krupis means toad in Latvian.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,507 ✭✭✭✭Lumen


    ^^ I don't entirely hate the toad.

    As a track bike it's obviously stupid, but the curved downtube design might make it possible to integrate a front mudguard without using stays.

    I realise that probably makes it even more hateful to right-thinking people.

    Same here, some lines are actually appealing to me.

    Me too. I like its swooping curviness. I know it doesn't make sense but....

    Stick on a front brake and I wouldn't say no after a few drinks

    Used to be a fan of the 'triple triangle' - but not this.

    It looks better in titanium.

    No it doesn't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 569 ✭✭✭Peter T


    I dont mind the titanium frame but the carbon frame looks like a piece of snot
