Bianchi Super Pista 2010 HalloWeiner MasterPimp

There is a difference between hating and pointing out mistakes. The fact that there are many mistakes and therefore lots of criticism does not mean that everyone is hating. Of course, you can say that one can do whatever he wants with his bike but at the same time everyone has right to tell him it's stupid or wrong.

Ok, Aerospoke is always hated without a clear reason but you really can't defend suspension seatpost on a track frame, drilling alu Cinelli bars and plastic pedal cages without straps.

edit: didnt bother to read you components list and i figured anyone dumb enough to rock a chain line that slack, and a suspension post would have a fixie.

a suspension post? wtf?

live and let live.

Haha. I did not even notice it was a single-speed with a freewheel. Not to mention, a SUPER SUPER low gear ratio! What is that... like, 42/18? I can see riding that low of a gearing on fixed gear in San Francisco, but on a single speed around DC? You can top out at around 5mph!

Weiner yes, pimp not

aww, dammit, first post did

:-)

What about the drilled handlebar? Ugh. To each his own or rather in this community, to every all's theirs.

shit, didn't notice that, thats horrible

What's the story? Why are the drilled handlebars a no no?

drilling a hole into cinelli bars?!!

At the end of the day its just metal, isn't it? Does it weaken the bars?

These things are made with certain tolerances for a reason: safety. Of course they are overbuilt but anything you do to compromise strength is a risk and you just can never trust it after moding in such a way. Especially Aluminum, since it will crack as opposed to bend. Such a compromise in the name of aesthetics (which in my opinion dont even pan out -- I think its awkward and not functionally advantageous) is just not a smart thing to do, adding also that it most likely destroys any resale value of the bars.

i doubt its dangerous to drill a small hole in the bars' aluminum. rims certainly have lots of holes. unless you're gonna abuse these bars for 100 years they're fine.

does velospace have a "like" button yet, cause if it did i would ironically be hitting it.

People need harshness to learn and improve. People don't learn how to do better from getting hugs and cuddles and pats on the back for their stupid decisions.

I hope he rides this on the track only!!!

+ gear ratio and impractical brake lever position. The fat lady ruining the fourth picture is nice though.

for her pleasure
