<<Here's my nomination for disaster of the year...

Not only has the guy made a mess of the wall, the powder coat job looks to me like it was performed by a hydrocephalic monkey: the frame doesn't look prepped at all, that paint is far from flat. In fact, from the pix it looks like it has had tertiary syphylis.
Maybe now people will realize why I'm making all this fuss about bikes over here being stripped for ebay then trashed. The result is the same as fixie thuggery: destruction of beautiful and irreplaceable bicycles. A just as convincing mess could have been made from a junker. Not codemning fixies as such, but the bicycle equivalent of buying up Renaissance masterpieces and cutting them up to make mixed technique modern art.
Future generations will conclude from archeological excavation of bicycles that two species existed at one point, just as neanderthal and Cro-Magnon. Unfortunately, this time, the less technologicaly minded will win. I used to think Huxley had it right with Brave New World. It appears that Mel Gibson with Mad Max is nearer the truth.
