Recently did some bodging on my kona dr dew, made it into a bit of a weir bike, but it rides like a dream, superb hill climbing and decending. Changing gear feels like a raleigh chopper!

Anyone else got any bad but good pics?

Did you build it and think, "oh my God, that's hideous, how can I make it worse... I know, [b]red [/b]bar tape!"

I like the way you found the perfect spot to photograph it - the bar tape matching the phone box, the paintjob matching the dirt on the roadsign.

Yeah the red bar tape was the literal cherry on top, actually it was sat in a draw, as the other half had been used to repair my kids push chair!

It does just blend in, its so natural.

Come on people, show me yours, this can't be the worse there is!

For that not to feel awful, the frame must be too small for you.
