Cornering could get interesting with that front setup.

You don't corner with those. You just ram straight ahead.

Kinda looks like the shape of one of those vegetarian dinosaurs (was never good at the names of them) from Jirassic Park.

Poor aul David on his last year and they make him wear them yokes.

Must find a tan sidewall veloflex or dugast version for the images of beauty thread...

Does this count?



That's my bike stuck in the middle. When I parked it in the morning there was nothing else there, the space is meant for 2 bikes, 3 at a push (there are 2 rack spaces to lock the wheel against).

Few of these just appeared in the Canyon outlet store. Part of me is going going wtf is that for? That's the biggest pie plate I have ever seen. The other part is thinking mmm that might make a good budget tt bike I'd only need shifters and a set of bull horns

Looks like it was custom-built in the early 1980's, though maybe not for a human.

I didn't get a chance to take a pic but an LBS in the City Centre is selling Cheap Road bikes with drop bars and....grip shifters.


Probably a good way to meet the demand for Roadbikes for those seeking style and not substance...they do seem to be all the rage.

Shifters are mounted either side of the stem. It is more than a little wrong.

I don't really see the problem with those shifters. They're probably more ergonomic than downtube shifters as you don't have to reach down between your knees, and downtube shifters were considered perfectly usable for decades.

The bike would need to be very cheap though. Halfords have an integrated shifter bike for something like €230 a couple of weeks ago.

Afair, they're about e300 and as I already said, probably quite a rational response to the sudden craze for ****ty badly treated commuter bikes with drops or horribly mutilated drops.

eeeee

Still absolutely hideous though *boak*

Jaysus, bit of a markup. Here they are on Amazon for €180ish plus delivery, not that that makes them any less wrong...

Excuse my ignorance, but what is going on in that picture with the yellow scooter people?

I'd assume it's some variation of latex suits with gasmasks that connect to the back of someone else's latex suit.
