    Nothing wrong with this saddlebag, I have a mucho biggo one on my commute days, but in the configuration above it is kind of distracting ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,560 ✭✭✭The tax man


    The most distracting thing about that picture is the wrong side of the bike facing the camera.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,490 ✭✭✭✭Lumen


    The frame is fugly but at least they made an effort with the paint.

    Moar colour.

    You are absolutely right.

    The photo should have been taken from behind her!

    Cos, you could see her ass then, right!!!

    Oh man... In stitches here I am... in stitches. Where do you get your wit from..

    She should be, like, making me a sandwich instead of out on a bike right... Am I right... C'mon, it's hilarious!!!

    Perhaps this will help focus minds away from the pier and pebbles.

    You have to wonder at a company that uses about 8 inches of spacers on a publicity shot on their own website.

    ^ Yup, much better. Looks like a lovely frame and proper agressive geometry, too. The 52cm frame has only a 115mm HT, certainly no beach cruiser. Their TT frame looks classy as well but price is a bit eye watering.

    :mad: Women face enough difficulties in this and other sports without shallow, objectifying and objectionable stereotyping of this sort.

    There's nothing hilarious about it. Nothing at all.

    I found it quite amusing perhaps I read it in the manner intended.

    No ****s appeared to given this day. Cringe worthy to say the least.

    On the bike being reversed I'd imagine it's a case of showing off the frame as much as possible instead of blocking part of it with the chainset.

    That's the best and funniest thing in this thread.
    Mods please lock the thread.:D

    Who is the girl on the blue white and red bike?
    Reason I ask is I was on the plane the other day and I'm nearly sure that the picture was in a newspaper of a man sitting across from me.
    Thinking it's not a pro due to the bag, the medal and the big bloody number in her chest - so it's obviously someone famous in a sportif or something?

    Rear triangle is very similar to Giant. I do like those canyons though the aeroroad is stunning.

    New Canyon - 15% more comfort due to new seatclamp design. How the jebus did they measure that?

    In fairness Harry is absolutely right. If it was a guy holding that bike the same comment wouldn't have been made, so it's not on. It took all I have not to call it out actually! If I could have thanked Harry's post repeatedly i would have. I'll stop there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,407 ✭✭✭OldBean


    +1 to the above. I'm here for ze bikes.

    I was kicking up about the blatant mysongny on this forum well before Gadetra was a member. But I'll choose to take it as a compliment.
