(Did a search, couldn’t find, but I’m usually the last to find these things.)

external bottom brackets. having a little bit of steel that drags on your wheel to scrape out glass fragments. biopace. sphinx bars. ergo stems. suspension seatposts.

any recumbent, ever.

I miss those…was reminiscing about them with a couple of other fogies just recently. Asked around a few bike shops for them at one stage and young people looked at me like I was from the 20th century.

the really really thin seatstays that cervelo were rocking for a while there.

Genuine question: what’s wrong with external bottom brackets?

it’s personal.

Not vegan.

Renders of hub and spokeless wheels
Solid tyres

This piece of shit.

This piece of shit.

Pretty much any alternative power transfer bike, treadmill bike, row bike , kick, stepper bike…

suspension forks on road bikes. bikes with tall seat tubes and short top tubes. paint schemes with a fade.

I’ll ban you.

it’s personal.

Any track wheelset that isn’t a Mavic Comete / iO combination.

omg so true!

Someone’s having a bad day
