Another Viciously Ugly Expensive Bike

Fuckin' awful.  Continuing the theme of sickening bikes off the Serotta Forum.  If you need to use that bugfuck ugly saddle to keep you nuts from falling off, find another hobby.  44 mm headtubes look pretty wretched on road bikes.  Gotta go for that tapered thing or something.  Plus, the proportions look all wrong, and the colored bits are nauseating.  This bike is a fucking abortion.

How The Fuck Could You Lose Bill Walton's Yuge Fucking Bike?

70cm. Is that c-c or c-t?   The guy's a fucking animal, though.  Can't be easy riding when you are so fucking tall and as beat-up as he is.

custom carbon-ti is hard to do, too, obviously

somewhere along the lines independent fabrication went way off the rails as far as my taste is concerned.  their attempt at a custom carbon road frame looked awful to me, cheap and ill-considered.  now this thing is their newest hot product, a carbon-ti frame that is inelegant at best.  that carbon tube is in exactly the wrong place, and i can already imagine the worst-case failure scenario.  mixed material frames are stupid regardless, but at least a holland exogrid looks cool and not like a piece of garbage.  i'd never buy a mixed material frame; the full ti and full carbon frames are much better in every way, and i don't wanna pick on indyfab.  they were a cool brand once, and for a while there the indyfab hardtail was among the nicest run of the mill handmade frames out there.  i always preferred the more dynamic designs like the eastern woods research, but the indyfab hardtail was everything this abortion is not: simple, straightforward, elegant.  i understand that independent fabrications is no longer that honest, worker-owned company that started in 1995, but i don't know how they think this is a winner.
