Bike gore.
I wanna see what images you have of "bike gore" or bikes that make you want to puke. No making fun of other member's bikes. No gatekeeping or bullying either.

From local classifieds. "Good condition, €100"
Funny enough, soon after I saw this one of the suspension fork manufacturers (can't remeber which one) came out with a new model that looked a whole lot like this.
Edit: found it. https://bikerumor.com/2021/09/01/int...ra-head-angle/

TBH, when I see a bodge like that, I'm curious if it works for the rider. I like it when people adapt things for their own use.

Oh, sorry, I forgot the title of the thread. In bad taste, but slightly amusing.
