For some reason looking at it head on reminds me of a magazine rack in a waiting room

Pinch Flat

Lots of Trouble, Usually Serious

Plenty of clearance for mudguards :-)

Edit:
And just after posting what do I come across https://road.cc/content/tech-news/268203-mudguards-are-more-aero-study-shows-optimum-drag-reduction-achieved

Ugly. IS the thinking behind it to have the forks and chainstays out wide so air will just flow through or something? They are now directly in front of and behind the riders' legs so the surface area for resistance is ever so marginally reduced?

Or am I talking absolute nonsense?

No more than usual.

Something went horribly wrong with this bike fit


Could 2020 be the year of the anti-slammed stem trend?

Bozo outgrew his previous bike:

I think this belongs here

that looks like one of the increasingly complex spaceships i used to draw in my copybooks as a kid.

The Cervelo P5X, of a similar cut to the Falco above, regularly pops up in the news feed of a local bike shop who seem to have shifted a couple.

Its always fawned over, for me vomit inducing.

Lance Armstrong began as a triathlte, ergo, Triathlete's are silly and have no taste

This has posibbly been here before. Someone loves (or loved it) but it's absolutely gick

Polar opposite to my previous post


No need for front brake lever when you can just grab it by hand

Savage wheels on an absolute pig ugly bike.

magicbastarder

the wheels are savage, indeed. they look like something an 8 year old would make as part of a school project.

Scanning adverts for wacky bike fits/set ups is my new lockdown hobby

I thought I realised that bike. It's SprinterDellaCasa's bike. I remember seeing some of his videos on youtube back in 2007.

and still ricky villa

The beam bikes aren't getting any prettier

Ducati had a go at an e-bike:

f1000

Can't believe they put their name on that yoke :eek:

I'd not be overly interested on motor bikes but can appreciate a nice one. Fella used to stash his Ducati in the bike cage at a job I was in years ago. Lovely machine, and he left it as it was from the factory without fairings etc and it was a thing of beauty. That yoke up there is no Ducati.

Stem like a walking stick - I'd say it'd act as a breaker bar if you came off it

I'm not sure what I'm looking at there. It seems to be some class of a folding bike, and I presume the stem is telescopic or something, but it hardly came with those handlebars as stock, did it?

Not with bar-end shifters, no. It looks like an Airnimal Chameleon, which is pretty high-end amongst folding bikes. It may not be the prettiest, but it's an interesting bike all the same.

Ad says "Rarely used due to injury" so you mightn't be all that far off the mark!
