But you can roll it in glitter.

I've just seen a carrera with an 11 sp Alfine with long mudguards and slicks.
And I thought: gosh that's an ugly mishmash.
I've no doubt it is perfectly serviceable and performs its required function perfectly adequately and within a specific budget.
But It it wasn't the prettiest.

I that spirit: show your mismatch work horses and bikes which are tools not glamour pusses

damn it mythbusters, I was all ready to argue that you could fossilised turds, and now there you are with real fresh ones... I suppose my way would have lead us down the tricky philosophical debate of when is a turd a turd?

How much weight in the back of that kid-carrier? Can't be far from structural failure.

It's not a kiddy trailer, it did make some interesting noises on the final haul though, and getting it rolling was impossible without a granny gear..

I ride to work on a square tubed (think easton rad but cheaper) specialized with a oldskool curved-tubed fork, full mudguards and a rack. It looks pretty horrible!
