What is this I don't even

I have no idea why those last two aren't pure porn

As for deliveroo riders, yeah bound to happen. Many are riding legit e bikes (and then be hacked), others just put together some far east express parts and use a hand throttle. That part of it isn't the worst. Its the absolute POS bikes they fit them to that don't have brakes capable of stopping very well even when new (£89.99 of argo's finest with a £600 500w kit attached with zip ties). Regularly get them in the shop with punctures, but unless they commit to £££ brake upgrades

I used to see those when I worked in a shop, and aside from proper maintenance, all those bikes really needed was a Shimano hydraulic front brake, $30.

Oh, and a motherfucking plug so the rear wheel can be removed from the bike without busting out a fucking soldering iron.

They're total shit, but the cable discs and hardwired motor are just utterly beyond the pale.

I've always thought those BMC seat clusters look way gimmicky, but something like that would be cool AF if it happened halfway between seat and BB, where it'd actually see some of those forces it's bracing for...

Not to mention one disc wheel on the front, lol

Yeah pretty nice, but I'm not sure if the wheels fit, and if you're gonna have one black ring on a triple, doesn't it have to be the granny?

Di2 levers on a fixie, for the sake of one brake... Pretty ostentatious, when a TRP Spyre would've done it.

Bit of gaffer tape to make them waterproof again, Bob's yer uncle.

Old skool cool 😎

Yeah, I think it's called black aluminium when they need a carbon part to be strong in every direction. But you see plenty of carbon stems...

Hmm, how about printed ti...? That would be interesting. Have to be direct mount once you're getting that fancy... And why not hydraulic, specced for the new Dura-Ace.

Then there's this:

But for some reason it's not carbonating for shit, even over 100psi...

Yeah, I remember seeing Ofmega plastic derailers years ago, they blew me away, seemed such a sketchy proposition.

Not nearly as sketchy as the idea of plastic calipers though, although I'm surprised carbon ones aren't more of a boutique thing

Gotta pay that

Nice.

Smashed my fingernail a few weeks ago, it started coming off, about 70% of it detached. Tickled it with the Dremel and picked all the dried blood out, then applied a layer of super glue, dusted it with bicarb, repeated that a couple of times, then sanded it.

Bingo. It worked

I was tripping out on the black delta brakes, looking pretty beefy for the era. Those aren't... resin, are they?

These patent illustrations sure are rubbish

What's the group on that?

Damn, that's gotta be pretty close to peak hipster

Matches the bent fork nicely

Bam! That'd have to be it. I like the Alcantara(?) on this one, I want one like that. With painted rails.

... Only $369

Anyone recognise this saddle?

The paint job is a head turner, which is all 98% of people will notice

Y Foils are for triathletes only because of the goddamn UCI standing in the way of progress. That's why this is the only Y Foil with a 9/8" steerer and PF30 BB, which IMHO makes this thing porn despite some dodgy components.

Fuck the UCI, because they killed beam bikes.

Not subjective why?
