I love the Wu, but I don't think I could ever bring myself to rock the Berntang.

I love Slayer too, but I don't see myself wanting Slayer bar tape.

Wait, yes I do.

I just don't understand why people with decently pricey frames like super pistas etc would ever equip it with origin 8 parts, especially wheelsets?

did they run out of money? Cause if I pay $500+ for a frame, I will not put a wheelset that can be purchased off amazon on it; maybe its just me.

What's with those bars? They look like they've been clamped in a vice. I'm hoping the drops flair out from the tops but even then, I can't say I see the point.
At least the saddle is sort of flat, even if it is slammed right to the front.
Okay, I'm confused.

Is that a fake Gazzetta? Or, is that the joke and I missed it? I'm not that familiar with Cinelli, but the frame in color they don't seem to have ever made and the "Arial Rounded" typeface and the seemingly incorrect head badge…

That is utility right there my friend. Drinks, radio, table, it is all so good. Pretty sure that is a CO2 or compressed air tank strapped to the side which may be used for chilling the drinks, bit of a long shot but possible none the less.
