I imagine this is something The Crow would ride.

Just walk away, and no one will be hurt. Just walk away...

i'm guessing there's less than 2 rolls of tape on that bike, where do you buy 14 lb electrical tape?

psirue 09-21-09 04:44 PM

it should be noted that tape adhesive will eat away paint after a few years.

mikeee 09-21-09 04:49 PM

I dont have any super (aero?) wheels. My bike weighs 20 pounds, thank you very much.

If you missed it, this is not my bike.

Every 4 years some people use 'electical tape'.

Definitely *is* a Pista Concept. Belongs to the same guy who has the crazy asymmetrical Yamaguchi and a bunch of other really nice rides.

This **** is old, anyway.

EDIT: Here's the Pista Concept on his flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancing...on/1693948937/

Top tube
seat tube
downtube
seat stay
chain stay

why?
do you also keep your couch wrapped in plastic?

ShaneRidesBikes 09-21-09 10:44 PM

Ahhh!!

Make it stop!

psirue 09-21-09 10:47 PM

mostly looks like a total lack of maintenance of your components. the frame itself looks pretty normal for a bike that gets ridden on the street. clean it up & it would be fine.

if your tape bike is so nice that you have to cover every inch of it to avoid scratches and paint chips, I hope you dont freak the *** out when you pull off the tape in a few years...

lwkwafi 09-21-09 10:47 PM

tape isn't going to help you if you don't put some oil on that chain.
Maybe could use a seat post and saddle, too.

No-T 09-21-09 10:49 PM

black spray paint would be easier
and electrical tape gets nasty after a while, especially after being in the sun?
And then the goo starts oozing out? and then **** sticks to it.
electrical tape bikes = fail....just sayin

psirue 09-21-09 10:52 PM

just look for the bike with pigeon feathers stuck on the frame
