I just felt the urge to show off my mountain bike.

And here it is!

You make a better door than a window.

That poor poor Santa Cruz, if it could talk it would be shouting ahhhhhhh!!
Please split and sell me

This isn’t going to go well, OP.

some bloke wearing ill fitting tights has stuck something on your bars!!

Nice Sky !!

The whole picture is a pee take Shirley?

Looks photo shopped to me, and I have never looked so ‘striking’ as the OP manages to do so effortlessly 😆

If you took the person (sorry OP) and the weird bike additions out of the shot, that’d be one awesome photo!

Is this a joke? I hope this is a joke.

Wtf!

Good lord. You’ve just reminded me, for the first time in nearly two decades, of the Scott AT4 handlebars from the early 90s. These beauties:

Just look at ’em. Magnificent, aren’t they? I really wanted some when I was a nipper honking around the Peak on a too-big Raleigh. Marvellous.

That’s the finest time-trial, touring, MTB I’ve ever seen! Needs front panniers.

Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans.

Nah, it was all about the Profile Durango bar.

Ned used them. ‘Nuff said, innit?

He was faster than you then, and I’d wager he’s still faster than you now.

Dude likes his bike, and to be fair it looks like it gets used. Decent pic too (although I’d have preferred a bit less crotch in the shot).

He was faster than you then, and I’d wager he’s still faster than you now.

Undoubtedly. Gosh, those were the days, when men were men, and mountain bikes were really **** weird. 😀

To the OP, did that scene really happen or is it green screen?

I like the bike shadow effect, it almost looks real.

Check those urges….not good can come from there…..

I didn’t notice the bars at first. Just what is going on with the tights over the jersey look? 😯

When you’re rocking a testicle that big you can have whatever handlebars you like.

That’s the most German thing I’ve seen all day, and I bought a bmw today.

If you’re willing to take on The Tour Divide you can ride whatever the hell you like – kudos! And to be honest, that bike looks much better suited for the job than either of my much ‘cooler’ mountain bikes…

Just what is going on with the tights over the jersey look

It’s like one of those magic eye pictures.

The more you look at it the more things leap out at you!

😀

Top kek OP

It’s defiantly some poor photo shop as mentioned the shadow looks burnt / coloured into the ground and the thing standing up has a different res than the surrounding

Separated at Birth:

Robs bike:

A Bull:

It’s the ‘Drama’ setting on Snapseed by the looks of it..

I don’t understand

He’s hiding it behind him cos it’s an e-bike

I’ve been wondering how to respond to this for a while and the nicest thing I think I can say is you have a very individual style.

Sir, I salute you!

Horizon isn’t level.

Mate that is a pic to hang above the fireplace!

Blam

I imagine theres many others on here who do a lot of road cycling and have nice fancy road bikes. I’m one of them and I’d bet the OP is a roadie who’s decided to get a mountain bike.
But I really cant think of why you would want to be able to adopt a full time trial position like that while out in twisty trails on a full susser?

you lot are funny, this is a man who is about to attempt the south downs way double double, when I met him last week he had just rode 175 miles and was carrying on fir another 60 or so before he was bivvying diwn for the night…

It’s because he’s a tuckerman end of (spending to much time on Google images)

that was in one day I should add
