[Closed] Is this uglier than the paperclip bike?

no thats amazing

I rather like that !

no thats amazing

You are from London and wear your sisters jeans then?

Yes. Rather ugly stupid looking thing.

I seen one of the Fixie Scum today; proper fixie, sister's jeans, daft haircut the lot. Ponce. Even my lovely companion felt like punching him, and she's a pacifist! 😯

As for the bike; pair of proper track bars or bullhorns and that's a work of art. If you think it's ugly you need your eyes and sense of aesthetics and style tested.

I asked the question but did not state my opinion.

Hell of a fast looking bike bit it is ugly, nice colour frame though.

nope from yorkshire,

I would love that with some proper pedals and some bull horns, I used to have a Bob Jackson low-pro and it was class.

That's a set of bars and a straight top tube away from being amazing.

If you think that's uglier than the paperclip, I think you've forgotten what the paperclip looks like.

Partypooper; you have no sense of aesthetics, style or knowledge of cycling history whatsoever. Begone, heathen infidel!

Mine wasn't as aggressive as that as it was a 57cm with 700c wheel. Very similar to the original photo which is of an awesome bike.

I bow to your obviously superior knowledge and taste, please accept my apology.

The ops pic is of a gert lush velocipede

Rear disc wheel, front tri spoke and some track bars and it'd be grand.

It's the best way; for yourself and for Humanity.

please accept my apology.

Best way you can do that is to post up some more pics of lovely lovely 80's/90's lo-pro bikes.

And throw in stuff like Campag Delta brakes for good measure as well.

Then, and only then, might I consider your apology.

Amazing how a change of bars can make a bike so wrong.

And stem.

Needs straight tubing, as is it looks like it's been damaged in a crash. Then it'd be OK.

ps. I'll be back later with pictures of lo pros

Bleurgh.

It looks like it's leaning forwards one moment, and then the next it looks like it's leaning backwards.

Was it built for Clyde the Orang-utan in Any Which Way But Loose/you can....?

some people should be banned from using engineering tools.

It is a preeeety bike, preeeety thing.

I'd love to see someone ride it though, just to see what they are wearing..

I loves Desinger bikes me.

My mate got overtaken the other day (at a red light) by a bloke on a fixie in linen trousers.

Now I'm all for breaking down the barriers with our niche cycling brethren, but I can wholly understand the urge to wallop the linen trousered fool round the head with a large frying pan to the accompaniment of a satisfying *spang!*.

As for the paperclip bike, it's like riding a U-bend on wheels.

At least the paperclip bike has proper wheels and tyres. And bars.

do you have to be a contortionist to ride one of these bikes? Could just be the frame design throwing me off but the bars look about 3 feet lower than the saddle.

I have one of these

I think a low pro TT is a joy to ride, although the '90s brakes are crap at stopping (compared to what we are used to today)

When I first started cycling in the mid 80's I thought these noodly low pros were the bolx, and something I could never afford.
