so if I can get a shot of someone else's missus in her birthday suit it means it's porn? What if I hack their facebook, photoshop the bikini off and send it in to razzle? Is it still readers wives? If I pull a pornstar and make a grumble flick with a night vision camera is it voyeurism or espionage? Porn - what does it mean to you? discuss.

I think that the rules are simple: if you own it (or have owned it), you can't post it in this thread in this thread unless it's in the context of "I've got one like that"/"That aspect of the posted bike is similar to this aspect of mine"

the rule is simple, posting your own bike isn't allowed, however if someone else like your bike, and post it in this topic, then that's fine, the owner didn't post it, someone else (i.e. flickwg) did.

it's that simple.

But you can post your own bike on occasion. If someone said "sometimes I see a batter Lemond Filmore being cycled past Euston in the morning, it's total porn" I could quite legitimately go "you don't mean mines [posts picture of own bike] do you?".

It's unprovoked own bike posting that is naughty.

all legitimate touring bikes have spare spokes somewhere on the frame. I guess he's using his for chain slap as well. pretty clever.

Vanilla are beautiful, but i think they are kind of over the top. My heart belongs to ANT cycles.

Using Shimano STIs is missing the point; all proper tourists have bar bags, which don't work with STI cables coming out of the sides of the levers. Then again, I hate nearly everything about that bike, but somebody has obviously spent a huge amount of time and money having it built exactly how they want it, so I'd drop it straight in the anti-porn bin.

One mans porn is another ones anti.

Each to their own but personally I think Kleins are great. That blue one (or is it green??) top left gets my vote.

I used to like deep vees, they just look cheap nowadays.

Are they now passé, or have the always been this way and it's just my taste has improved?

All 30mm deep rims have always been a cheap way to get a little aero benefit without the expense of carbon. Now that 40mm+ in aluminium is back on the menu, the 30mm rims look even worse, being simultaneously too deep to be classic but not deep enough to be properly modern.
