No.
I've been burnt out on that thread in general. Everyone wants to be a Bikesnob but not everyone has the creative prose to step up to the task.

Every once in a great while some gold seeps out of that thread, but largely it is just a cesspool of unnecessary snobbery. I mean, honestly, how much should I care that some other dude has his saddle setup a bit off or his bars untaped or platforms without clips and no brake? I shouldnt, because I dont ride his bike.

yeah, a good portion of the bikes in there are not jackass at all. i go just because when a really horrid one shows up, it's morbidly fascinating. like that ss with no working brakes and the wonky saddle that's in there right now.
mine, in an incarnation a few years old, made it to the thread, but i wasn't looking for it.

moving target
it would be funnier to me if it did end up on there.
actually when i finally did post a pic of me on my bike, someone said they expected to me to be wearing 90's neon colored parachute pants and a wind breaker. that made my day for a bit.
but i like to think my bike was well thought out and well set up.

I plan on posting my bike in there when I get back home.
But currently... no one lives in North Dakota so I feel that im safe.
Or... at least its too cold for digital camera technology to safely operate.

Nope. No digital photos exist of my bike, let alone on the internet, but I can proudly say a picture of myself participating in an event from this time last year can be found on BSNYCs post in which he first mentioned the Fixed Gear Apocalypse.
