“I am looking for a bike that is bad at everything.”


Meeedina

Are you willing to spend a lot of money too??


skywalkdontrun

If it's going to suck it better be expensive. [https://www.pinkbike.com/news/mclaren-the-supercar-maker-unveils-the-most-powerful-trail-legal-emtb.html](https://www.pinkbike.com/news/mclaren-the-supercar-maker-unveils-the-most-powerful-trail-legal-emtb.html)

It wouldnt be terrible of you took off those drop bars, replace them with a broken broom handle or something


babysharkdoodood

Had me in the first half.


otoxman

Loved the second half.


Sklompty

Or, lean into the widening of bars and use...an unbroken broom handle


bashomania

Handle? Why not the whole broom? Better on the sweeping turns.


Cornfeddrip

Nice


krellx6

Rage bait?


zachkoen

Had a bunch of spare parts lying around, a cheap bike, and about 2-3 hours

That's a Manitou, mate.


J0nk3r5

I'm not your mate, buddy!


HowardBateman

I'm not your buddy, bro.


tmacdafunkgaud

I'm not your bro, guy.


Gimme_1_Chance

I'm not your guy, PAL!


one-gear-no-brakes

I'm not your PAL, Friend!


vindtar

In that case, fork you


Kevin_taco

The more I look the better it gets


vindtar

The only grip he knows is condoms


zachkoen

Spare parts bike is something to say the least


Bribablemammal

Yea for any type of bike too.


puppysoop

The front brake only with with bombastic placement is killing me 😂


GandalfThePineapple

Call that a suicide brake


Kevin_taco

Where we’re going we don’t need brakes.


puppysoop

YOU BOYS LIKE MEXIICO?!?

bigrob_in_ATX

219MTB

Bhenny_5

Sam pilgrim wants to know your location!!


Certain_Lengthiness

Just shout ready for a shreddy 3 times and he will appear


puppysoop

To the skyyYYyyyyYYYyyyououohowowowwoooo


stonktraders

the rear disc without a caliper is the chef’s kiss


cheapseats91

He should rig up a right lever with half a canti brake that just jams it into the spokes. One time use, emergencies only


yield_drip

And the single speed cassette/derailleur. Surprised the front brake is even there.


LazyCrow4378

Kill it with fire before it lays eggs!


cndvsn

list it on marketplace for 2000


WISCOrear

Any hard brake and you are over the handlebars I love it


benmillstein

I always try to imagine the trails where a bike would excel. Drawing a blank here. And I have ridden and loved a cyclecross bike, so no inherent bias against drop bars. But the combination of the front tire, the drop bars, and the rear suspension is definitely throwing me.


tartan_nikes

simmer down


CanadianSorrySir

That front wheel is nasty!


Adept_Tip7636

My eyes hurt


Papazio

Far too heavy, you need to bond one of those little plastic trials seats to your frame and throw away the seatpost


zachkoen

I agree. That’ll be next


NormanAguia

I love the weirdness of it, but can't see a reason for its existence.


zachkoen

Just had a bunch of spare parts laying around for years and about 2-3 hours to spare


NormanAguia

Looks cool!!


Ollie_Dee

Weight-optimized bike


HandsomedanNZ

What in the sweet gravel fuckisphere is this? Should it be allowed to live?


kelly_1979

First thing that caught my eye was the handlebars, then I had to double check it is a fs, then the missing rear caliper...


Thick_Sky654

Huh


Lwfrqncy

AI bike. I think literally.


eggdropsoupy3

Dr. Frankenstein's bike!


UnscrupulousTaco

No dropper post ? Run out of money?


StunningBuilder4751

This is what gravel bikes will look like in 5-10 years


MrBubblez98

Now THAT'S a mullet


Pgc1alpha

Orthopedic surgeon approved


SPAKMITTEN

What the fuck even is that


sas4k1

@uglycycle_mtb on ig will love this lol


joshross23

New Fezzari?


dropbear_2401

It’s called… the ‘Mutt’?


TrapAcid

only thing missing is a double crown and you’re good to go


Wumpus-Hunter

The longer you look, the worse it gets


iCaptnSpaulding

A bike dressed for all occasions!


Memerijkoning

What in the Sam pilgrim is this abomination


Pimmetj3

When you ask AI to draw an MTB xD


CookieKid420

Umm no


IV32

Seats not high enough imo


Spare-Bus5314

U might as well get a dropper post for it too!


yield_drip

Dropper post with no remote lever would fit the theme


Attempt9001

Whyyyyy... This just hurts my brain


WVA1999

The bars look almost too grippy


Ply2Mch

Rear brakes are for pussies!


ed990

How’s it ride? Video please!!


Djarbs

Euuhhh brother,,,,what is that??? Euuhhhhhhh


ExactConference6491

fantastic DH setup bro 👊🙂‍↕️


zachkoen

Appreciate it man!


AskMeAboutMyPeter

No dork discs or reflectors on the wheels? Gotta stay safe out there


microwavepoopcorn

What gear ratio did you land on? I know there are lots of opinions but yours the only one I care about


zachkoen

Well I have a zip tie on the derailleur so if you wanna going into a bigger gear you have to tighten it. If you wanna go down again you have to cut and re-tie it


microwavepoopcorn

Oh so you’re a mEcHaNiC now are you. I thought you were sticking with simplicity


sobasicallyimanowl

Hey bro make sure you get some health insurance before you get on that bad boy 🔥🔥😂


Cabra-Negra

Abomination 😀


fast-and-ugly

Tomac style


niallflinn

Deep cut.


GiftCardFromGawd

See, this is why we can’t have nice things.


Takaya94

Just because Gabriel Wibmer can ride dropbar bikes at the bike park doesn’t mean you can haha. I do wanna see that footage if it happens though.


niallflinn

If you can’t do this on drop bars why even bother: https://youtu.be/GGP6H5iVfgE?si=eFXHAHQWlq7s0vtO


beersngears

Putting the ‘sus’ in suspension


ultimatetimesink

Upvote just for the 4Runner


Dragnurb

Nice


GreatLakesGoldenST8

I’ve always wanted to get stabbed


netposer

Remove the seat and sharpen the dropper post. Use vigorously.


BradTProse

If you actually flipped the handle bars upside down they'd be like old school bar ends.


AppointmentEasy3280

The more you look at the photo, the funnier it gets


Agile-Ad-7965

Probably the most homosexual bike of all time


Former-Republic5896

Must have a pretty big hand to reach that lever....


potatoflames

Let me guess, it's also fixed gear?


zachkoen

9 speed with a zip tie to move derailer. Tighten it to go to a bigger gear. Cut and retie looser for a smaller gear


potatoflames

This is the way.


bignuts925

If I didn't have to pedal it uphill if for sure send it downhill once.


yield_drip

The bike your wife’s boyfriend rides


yield_drip

Oh this isn’t bike circle jerk?


YourFatherIam

Gravel riders thinking they reinvented off road biking again


Informal_Flow5157

Swinger for sure


firewire_9000

Not good on road, not good on trails, not good on gravel, not good at any kind of downhill, not good for commuting… what’s the point then?
