What can kill the looks of a bike for you?

[magicmistertea]

Bikes with triple triangle frames.

Nods quietly in agreement.

I dont like them either..... each to there own..

 

[TheGreenRabbit]

lycra, especially on over weight middle aged men!

thats most of retobike then

Sometimes its not the bike but the rider.

People who ride in the middle of thier feet or on thier heels.....
Drives me to distraction
they should be dragged off and thrashed with frayed cables

And while I'm on one and even though i have'nt seen one for years (thank god) Cosmic bar pads.....WHY!!

Feels better

You've got me started on this. But my best mate Alex, who used to be a courier and would fly past me like I was tied to a post, used to ride with his heels on the pedals. With his hands behind his back. Whistling. :twisted:
It's bad enough being overtaken by someone who's whistling, but being overtaken by someone who's riding with crap technique is worse. :evil:

Singlespeed. Especialy cool retro bikes converted to singlespeed :roll:

[tintin40]

mismatch match seat pin and stem. They should always be the same colours

Unless the stem's painted to match the frame. That's allowed.

 

[maxhc]

Riser bars + barends for sure ...

Klein Graffiti & Mardi Gras & similar scheme paints ...

 

[legrandefromage]

non gt triple triangle frames.

bar ends/ risers

crap risers

complete miss-matching of parts

I could go on for ever...
