Ugly Parts

[dude...]

So bike parts are pretty good these days generally, but some are still heinous looking, especially now that everyones so street and not building their bikes to achieve more forum comments (well not outside of the dark blue sphere anyway). So post some modern bike parts that are disgusting looking for my amusement, and so we can all be snobby


powerbites were never the most svelte cranks, but somehow the weird abomnation that primo is nowadays managed to make them worse looking, and less practical (2pc is sooooo 2012)



Equally, not content with their "optimus prime's penis" onyx cranks, eclat also apparently felt the need to make their cranks look even worse as well



Personally, i can get on board with coloured tyres, if the colour is right and it works with the rest of the bike, but this is getting stupid now


post more heinous shit

I know those tires are ugly as shit but I drove past a bunch of kids with coasters and those Stevie tires. This seems to sell I mean the parts I grew up on we're rank but I guess it's got to come around every generation, and yes those cranks are a bastard of the once glorious power bites

[paranoidmexican]

Any modern 4-piece bar.

for real.....they look like giant boxes....i like 4pc bars that get really narrow like the odyssey 4x4 bars

[jtr]

not this build in particular (wich is quite nice, actually) but the wtf literally made me think wtf...
why reinvent the wheel to make it as pointless as possible?
also:






plus: any gyro and the odyssey convertible post. as much as the idea is very good and i bought and rode one for quite a while it was never really a beauty.

[Narcoleptic Insomniac]

Fat seats.

[condrbkr]

Any 1 piece seat/post. It just looks so cheap.
