Random shi*ter spotting thread!

OK - something fun. We've all got cameras, so next time you spot a shi*ter on the street, snap it and post it!

Extra point if anyone snaps a pic on the re-named "Olympic Boulevard" bit between the Yarra and Punt Road.

Living the inner burb's, this comp is gonna be like shooting fish in a barrel..

Do shi*ters spotted at uni count, or is that considered cheating?

Yeah, how about stuff parked outside Safeways on Smith?

It only counts if its not a stolen bike that you are trying to sell..

Hah! If I'd got the angle right you would have seen the ducted heating
vent as well.

Damn - i'm in Bristol UK at the moment. There is a pancaked wheel, and a u-bolted stripped (partially or fully) frame on every bike rack. I pass 5 - 6 bike racks on the 10 minute walk from the Hotel to the Office.

It would be a single-speeders/fixies shopping ground if you could remove all the u-bolts.

Wow. I thought I was the only one who felt that way.

Question: are total rip-off makes candidates or are we just looking
for the "unsafe at any speed" merchants?

I see a total lack of shi*ter posts in this thread!!! Cmon peoples!!! Here is my 2nd..

Spotted early in the year near Glenferrie oval: http://tinyurl.com/y6spt7

Awesome work by the team mechanic with the inverted drops and reverse lever placement. Superb!


I hope this thread can highlight one thing... its not about the bike.


lama - faster than you on a Giant* (*JonoL excluded when the road turns upwards)

A rust bucket snapped in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong mid last year. Note the double top tube and the rear stand. The seat looks about as comfortable as those featherweight all carbon jobbies...
