Crappa r Not
In the same theme as 41's Hot r Not we'll have our own thread and the rules are simple. The bike must be your crappiest, and regularly ridden.
Points to be observed are:
Mismatched bits
Used / parts bin components
Distasteful colour / colours
Any type of bike eg. Road, MTB, BMX...anything.
I'll start off. This is my 1998 Gary Fisher Aquila
Please note...Painted by me using green candy paint from a plastic model shop. Hand-made Gary Fisher stickers. Front wheel Mavic, back shimano deore. The only thing I HAD to buy new was the cheapest brakes I could find. Everything else is used.

this one works for me often, I have a dual setup for this, 29er smallblock 8s on one set of wheels and some 700cx42s on another set.

Since I got back to work I can now access my Crappa! I got this Motobecane Jubilee off Bikes Direct's scratch and dent site Bike Island pretty cheap little over a year ago. I've upgraded the twist shifter to the Alfine trigger. Just added the Origin8 quill stem adapter and added the stem that came off my dismantled 4300. I also have my Origin8 (B17 copy) saddle from my Tempo that I'm just trying to break in. I like having the squishy seatpost esp with this saddle on.

Sorry, I did not know the definition of a Hybrid included the fact that tires must be smaller than 35mm if 700c.
Here it is with the requisite 35mms
I have 3 wheelsets, 700x35, 700cx42 and 700c/29erx2.1 and an extra set of tires 700cx38

Love riding in the rain. Have you had any problems with typhoons lately. We had one hit last night.

I have a feeling that most here are laid back enough where it would really take something for us to call out a bike as crappy!
