Art fail

[Bollo]

I've seen this print in real life (the design 'consultancy' is on my way into town) and it's actually pretty funky in an 80s raleigh banana style if you're prepared to overlook the sloping top tube. But, just as I was about to part with some dabloons, I spotted something terribly, terribly wrong.....

Nope, you got me.

If the drivetrain is on the wrong side - I doubt you'll be going anywhere!

That rear brake cable looks a little tight...

Whatever it is, let this case illustrate the point that Britain needs more engineers rather than fancy 'designers' a la Raleigh.

Can I also take this opportunity to say, 'It's politcal correctness gone MAAAD!'

The tyre logos aren't lined up with the valves.

Some of the spokes appear to be laced incorrectly.
