that's a nice custom bikefunny to think how uncomfortable that guy would be on most standard setups his bars are insanely high but he could still get reasonably aero with bent arms in the drops
>>2018685Walton had a bad back im shocked he didnt ride with a riser stem.
>>2018686that's the custom frame version of a riser stemhe's running his custom 0° stem upside down, which looks wierd Still, the bars are levelish with the saddle which imo is a good default position for many riders. >had a bad backwho doesn't ?
Stop taking people who say stupid shit seriously.
>>2018690
watch thread? hell yeah>>2018686>Waltonah ok it all makes sense now
He's a big guy
>>2018722Yes he is a big guy for me as well
head tube taller than me jfc
>>2018683rent free
>>2018683Its enough to make me want to go win the tour de france in cargo shorts just to kill the industry
>>2018752you should try it, let us know how it goes
>>2018683>Whoa wait WHAT NOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT YOU TRYHARD90% cope from dorks that are afraid to wear lycra for whatever reason and 10% memes from dorks on 4chan dabbing on dorks that are afraid to wear lycra.as a fat guy that wears lycra: if you're looking at my dick or my fat ass in my riding bibs thats on you, fag. enjoy the show.
>>2018686>Walton had a bad back>look at his pro pictures>all his bikes are normal sizedlooks like he fucked himself
>>2018685>his bars are insanely highNo they're not. They're on a perfectly reasonable level. Your standards are insane.
>>2018753I second this motion.
>>2019066how did you get the impression that i think his setup is unreasonable or bad? i said it looks comfy and aero, learn to read context for hyperbole
>>2018722
>>20208394 u?
>>2018743That usually happens when the front wheel is smaller than the rear
>wear a raincoat while it's raining>this is clearly because of gene kelly and not the rain
>>2018753>>2019068Fresh from Reddit, I see.
>>2023389just own it you larper, everyone knows you're only wearing it because you want to be le dancing dapper gentleman
>>2018752>"what is the alt tour?"
>>2018683>>wears a rolex daytona while driving, just like paul newmangoddamn thats a nice watch
>>2023198'four ewe' ya dingus
>>2026771>dingusgood morning saar
>>2026772if i were indian i'd probably have a better job
>>2018743Puck is so unbelievably hot
>>2026838Really makes you wish you had known about hormones earlier right?
>>2018685his seat isn't very high, I think he could size down
>>2026770nah they're pretty shit they just have great marketing. I set my quartz watch twice a year at daylight savings, those Rolexes need set once a month at the very latest and need full services as often as a quartz watch needs a $2 battery
>>2026869yeah but how far off is your watch when you do it twice a year? unless you've got thermocompensated or something like that you're probably off by 2-3 minutes
>>2026870nope never been more than 20 seconds. I wear it at night, if it was on a bedstand it might go off
>>2026871that's not bad for non-TC but your watch is an outlier
>>2026869>>2026870>>2026871>>2026873I never understood mechanical watches. We have a superior system. Plus you can just buy a new $300 quartz watch every few years for the fashion and look way better than some clunky, dorky grandpa Rolex.
>>2026873yeah I don't know why it's so accurate, one time it was like 2 seconds off, obviously some months it will gain a few and some lose but it averages out to fuck all>>2026926It was a marketing thing the Swiss companies had to do to survive. Swiss companies used quartz until Japan could make them really cheap
>>2026926>I never understood [...]it's about wearing $50K-100K on your wrist, rather than anything you just said
>>2027032most "watch guys" aren't wearing anything near that expensive. go on the average watch discussion online and see, it's mostly neckbeards who feel very smug about their ebay frankenfake HMT with "omega" crudely stamped over the original dial markers) that they pretend is actually in the same class as an original george daniels and therefore they're morally superior to any kind of timepiece that's actually accurate and usable in real life conditions. it's the watch version of the steel is real guys who convinced themselves that their gaspipe bso with a bent derailleur hanger and brakes that don't work has more "character" than an entry level allez or a domane that actually and you don't have to dismount every 3 miles and fish the chain out of the spokes
Cyclists who wear lycra are like that kid who turns up for a kickabout in full football kit, including studs and shin pads. Except they're adults so the cringe is multiplied by 1,000,000.imagine you're going to take the car out for a spin, and you dressed up like Ayrton Senna on race day, even if you had a Ferrari everyone would know that you're a cunt.
>>2027032Bill Gates wears Casio and Steve Jobs wore a quartz Seiko. Peacocking with wrist jewelry is "pick me!" girl behavior lol
>>2028747Lol that hits so close to home. In my 20s I had a Sgt who was really into futbol (and probably tistic), so he later ordered PT (exercise) was going to be futbol. Mfer showed up in full cleats and shins while all of us were in standard issue PT gear. The other Sgts were so fucking mad they didn't let him organize a PT session for a long time lmao
>>2018683bike shorts look fucking gay
>>2028748"pick me" is wearing the casio so that the old money thinks you "have nothing to prove" and therefore must be one of them so they'll take pity on you and give you free money
>>2028850>still doesn't understand that a watch is a tool, not a fashion statement
>>2028853>I'm going to eat mcdonalds every day until warren buffett acknowledges me as a temporarily embarrassed millionaireok good luck with that
>>2028747thisLycra is larping, cosplay for grown ups and that's why most people find it cringe and creepy, it's grown men playing dress up.
