Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Bet this rides really well on #USgravel and the blue route at Dalby

What a magnificent abomination.

Surely not a legit DeRosa? The frameset is hideous, but beautifully matched by seat and post combo, set off to perfection with that lever angle. The gold accents on those rancid wheels really bring them along to the party too.

The BSO-spec components are somehow perfect for this bike, even though it has a carbon frameset. Is that a square taper crankset, lol. The NDS pic as the main photo in the ad, also gold.

Perfectly terrible 10/10.

That rear brake cable looks like it's going to get caught in the disc.

Yeah, that's a classic machete aeroblade or whatever from ali I believe. Strikes me that this has not been reported. Someone in Belgium is asking 800e for it 😵

If someone buys that thinking that it is a real De Rosa, they deserve to get fleeced.

Borrowing geo from early 2010s downhill bikes

It's like if @amey and @BareNecessities got together to design a bike

Shame on them - what a waste of ressources ...

brake cable looks like it's going to get caught

Fun fact: the notches in the periphery of the disc are automatic cable trimmers

Ahh, very smart move by the owner. Ride the bike and have them trimmed to the desired length.

If I had a bike museum, I'd pay 800 euro for that thing, as a perfect encapsulation of all the awful.

Seattubes/posts needing straight lines to work must really boil someone’s piss at Pinarello.

We all know these bikes are gopping. But this one certainly jumped out at me while browsing Marketplace.

why? can't see anything wrong with it tbh

Saddle angle and kickstand, otherwise perfect.

Can be yours for 450 Euros.

That's a proper Kevin & Perry stance

Hahah how do people even come up with the idea to mount the bars/ levers like this

It boggles the mind. Maybe it was a sweet fixie skidder once with diy bullhorns?

My worst fear would be to grab two handfuls of drops and smacking my teeth on the stem.

Good fucking lord

If that's somebody deliberately trolling the Serotta fanboys, then I applaud it.
