it's been converted into a tracklike bike that never hits the track
can we post stupid cyclists too?

Tony?
I don't have any pictures but I swear every fucking idiot who has a road bike rides exclusively on the drops in Poland.
>>881080
Why is riding on the drops considered the mark of a fucking idiot in Poland?
anyone have that pic of a high performance trek bike with flat bars and panniers, it was blue and had packing wrap on the bars.
>>881080

>>881613
that drop doesn't actually curl up though. it curls in towards the wheel
>>881178
Hey, it's those dudes from Nasu!
>>881049
lel triathletes. He might b heading to a hill, not thirsty and trying to drop some weight tho.
>>881034
Don't know why anyone would find that stupid. The mirrors are well placed to detect a strafing attack.
God damn art students
>>882651
The money they saved by buying extra narrow handlebars went to the saddle I guess
>he's trying to sell it for $625
>>882651
>mfw the saddle is worth more than the rest of the bike
>>882651
What the fuck is that thing that the douche strapped to the head tube?
>>882904
looks like a small light
>>882678
>buying extra narrow handlebars
Nobody buys extra narrow handlebars, they just mutilate regular handlebars.
There is always someone on some cheap own brand mountain bike with the forks backwards.
>>882900
lol that's all good though (unless you live near crackheads/ lots of meth or something). Upgrading universal parts you can transfer one day like seat/ pedals is allg
>>882987
I am glad you got my joke too.

That was the joke you sheep raping retard
>>883026
>forks
>>881035
bars tired. bars sleep now.
>>882900
yeah, i'd run that cable lock through the saddle rather than through the wheel.
but i guess most people will leave a little donation with that bike rather than steal it.
>>882900
For all we know, the guy could have had a bitchin' fixie, purchased with all the student loan money he could get his hands on. He would tie it to the bike rack and take the seat with him, to deter thieves.
Then, a determined thief took the bike without the saddle, and our poor art student had to cobble a bike together using parts from the dumpster behind the kinetic sculpture studio.
>>883263
Zzzzzz
>>882904
It's a small silicon-housed LED light. For visibility purposes, rather than illumination.
>>886020
why the fuck would you wear a helmet riding up a hill on a closed course. Feels so good man to ride up big hills with no helmet- like a mountain climb or something, with freindly/ aware/ non existant drivers. That's what they're doing. I stop at the top for a breather and put my helmet back on.
>>884523
I've heard people call these "DUI bars" but I have no idea why.
>>886020
Of course. If you ever left your house you'd notice that people within one standard deviation of mean intelligence or above wear helmets only in response to a foreseen risk of head injury significantly above baseline levels.
>>886026
Where do you put your helmet when you climb?
>>886296
8/10 would commute on
>>886300
hooooly
i would steal that in a heartbeat LAD
>>886307
Best part is that it'd almost assuredly be a victimless crime as said dentist could simply go out and buy a new one the next day.
>>886323
Dentists don't leave their bikes locked up, since they are only using them for fun not transport.
The bike is probably owned by a nikkipoor type who bought it on Craigslist because it's an expensive brand even though he can't even afford a decent lock to secure it with.
>>886300

The gear and brake setup isn't standard in any way, but I assume it can be used without changing the grip?

Nothing wrong about it other than the unnecessary edgy knife sheath

this guy is a god,those saddles are GOAT(mine is green btw)
>>886808
yea, this, another way is to loop the straps around your post & clip it over your saddlebag or an ass saver
>>886854
Eh, it was a Kershaw rescue knife I bought for work years ago. It was essentially useless for everything work related. So one day I got drunk and strapped it to the bike. I never took it off because I usually ride way out in the boonies and knives are useful. But I agree. It makes me look like the Man At Arms of a gay pride parade float.
>>886890
The only time I need a lock is when the wife and I ride in Houston. I carry the cable to secure our seats, my wife carries the u-bolt lock to secure the bikes.
>>886802
I don't see anything particularly wrong other than risers+barends, but that's mostly a fashion fo-pa that doesn't affect functionality.

I just thought it was funny because of the bud light paint job. Im gonna pick it up next weekend. It needs some work. Doesn't have front brakes and the shifters and cables are shot. I figure a hundo or so before its back to rideable.

How rad is it? That rear wheel was one of a pair I bought for $20 from a notoriously shitty bike store, and it weighs a ton. The length of the valve stem didn't even click with me before fitting the 700cx40's. Hunting around to find a tube of that size with a 30~mm stem on a zero-budget frankenbuild? Yeah, nah.

these people are the worst
If you want a comfortable upright riding position, then don't buy a fucking road bike.
>>882170
because that's how you drop water weight.
you open up your mouth, hold your water buttle up close and diarrhea the water out the other end onto the road and your bike...

>That's what they're doing
do you guys seriously just not live in the same world as me?
>Historically, road cycling regulations set by the sport's ruling body, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), did not require helmet use, leaving the matter to individual preferences and local traffic laws. The majority of professional cyclists chose not to wear helmets, citing discomfort and claiming that helmet weight would put them in a disadvantage during uphill sections of the race.
The first serious attempt by the UCI to introduce compulsory helmet use in 1991 was met with strong opposition from the riders.[19] An attempt to enforce the rule at the 1991 Paris–Nice race resulted in a riders' strike, forcing the UCI to abandon the idea.
While voluntary helmet use in professional ranks rose somewhat in the 1990s, the turning point in helmet policy was the March 2003 death of Kazakh Andrei Kivilev. The new rules were introduced on 5 May 2003,[20] with the 2003 Giro d'Italia being the first major race affected. The 2003 rules allowed for discarding the helmets during final climbs of at least 5 kilometres in length;[21] subsequent revisions made helmet use mandatory at all times.
it's a rule now, but even in '99 lance was riding without a helmet...
>>888621

That beautiful discontinued 105 derailleur on that PIECE OF SHIT
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>889923
Did you think about the implications of that for even half a second?
>>890168
The real tragedy is the wide gaps between the wheel and fork crown.

That's because it's probably from here. We have a consumer electronics retailer (local branch is called Gigantti here in Finland) who had a campaign this summer where you got a bicycle for free if you bought something pricey enough. I got mine when I bought a 300€ smartphone for my dad...
>>890172
Brooklyn Machine Works designed it that way to facilitate barspins without having to run a 650c front wheel.... like seriously.
>>890277
>Sophisticated risk assessments intimidate me
>>890168
Handlebar? What about the idea of a STAINLESS STEEL frame? Not heavy at all...
>>889923
LOL, dude.
DUDE.
>>890979
yeah there was never a shock
>>890946
I don't think that's stainless steel.
This time with a brake
>>884523
Why do homeless people and retards do this?
I cannot fathom what's going on in their heads when they decide "I know, I'll flip the bars upside-down!"
Is it something like, "There, that'll solve my problem with being able to steer and brake properly."?
>>891009
>why
it's because they want to sit upright while they ride
>>891048
>wanting more asspain in addition to completely fucking up steering and braking

Not sure if the /n/iggers are as fat hating as the /fit/izens, but this is the story behind the bike.
A land whale called Ragen Chastain, a prophet of the fat acceptance movement, who is also a 'top athlete'.

>>890304
It wasn't the bike, it was the "bike cellar" the bike is probably in. Not sure if apartment buildings have these built too much for just this purpose all over the world, probably not in amurikka at least.
>>889918
I see these in Brooklyn all the time. Old Chinese men own them. It's clearly some awful BSO company who make MTBSO ran out of shocks one week so they just welded a new seat stay. I've seen many different frame shapes with this factory mod. What's interesting is that I've never seen a store offer them new. The Chinese must have their own underground markets where these things are 50 bucks new
>>891323
Check craigslist. There are all kinds of weird ass brands you've never heard of on the NYC craigslist sold as new, and they all seem to come from china. I think the seller is actually based in brooklyn.

Yeah that's no worse than any other example of "locked through the wheel"
If you want the wheel you'll still need a tool to cut the spoke.
>>900124
It's close enough to the nipple, that using an adjustable spanner wrench (or a spoke wrench if you have a bike multitool) would unthread the spoke and you could slide it off. That's assuming that the spoke and nipple haven't seized
