bad bike designs

[qclabrat]

came across this one from Aliexpress, not sure what the anti-compact frame does?
did anyone even rides this and think its a good geometry?
maybe its spec'd a WSD, but my nuts are tingling just looking at this (know someone going to mention the girls)

They are designed this way as to not have any resale value.

Any bike that is designed for tires of less than 3.8 inches is a bad design imo.

Looks about as legit as a BSO gets.

I've seen big wheeled BMX bikes with similar shape, maybe that's what they're trying to copy.

Ha Ha, this is worse!

The extra weight on this bike makes me shudder... and you'd be spending $7k+ on a Diamondback. Ugh.

these may not be pretty, but from a design/functionality perspective not terrible. I'm sure its faster that my steel road bike.

I see a guy at Liberty state park on one of these. People shout all sorts of funny stuff at him

These bikes are all the rage in tri this year.

They can pretend that's not a Y-foil all they want...doesn't change the facts.

And the chain will cost extra.
