I'll start. All on the same set of Sheffield stands in the middle of Reading, yesterday. Phone pictures, so maybe not of the usual standard.

Ooh - some nice examples there.
Bonus points should be awarded for photos of brown chains in action (with associated audio recording for even more points).
I am amazed when I see (and hear) some of the chains out there that they actually move.
-
:-X
oops. I have on occasion been passed someone's freshly purchased oilcan whilst on a ride....
-
What I like about those pictures is how smart/new/clean the bikes look. Well apart from the chains, that is ...
-
Indeed. That's what inspired me. Apart from the rusty transmissions & in some cases unshipped chains, all these bikes look perfectly roadworthy, down to having air in their tyres. Definitely not suitable for the dead BSO thread, so I thought they should have their own.
-
Some of my customers think that's how they should look . . .
-
My commuter is pretty much a continuous rope of black with chunks.
-
Never ceases to amaze me just how quickly this happens to bikes left outside even under cover.

Oh, right. I thought that this thread may have been about lavatory disasters. :o

Brown and very slack. Also sporting ridiculously narrow bars (no space for brake levers, but that's ok - no brakes ::-)).

Beyond brown.

That's a work of art.
I'm off to Amsterdam next weekend. I expect to see some spectacular examples there.

The one I posted above was spotted in Roskilde. I suspect it may have been in the fjord for some time!

Only serious mussels for that bike...
-
Displaying a rather shellfish attitude.
-
That is an awful pun
Sometimes it would be better to clam up.

This one was found last summer in our garden, when we decided it was a good time to rebuild a very old stone and concrete staircase.

World Bicycle Hide & Seek Champion!

Is the rest of him under the house?

We ended up with a chainset, a chain, and only one pedal of what was probably a child's bike. Fortunately, no remnant of the young rider followed!
-
Not Lord Lucan's escape vehicle, then.

;)

This is a bit shameful, because it's one of my own bikes. What happens when you keep your hack bike outside in the winter :-[:

One owner from new, low
mileage yardage.
Then left in the garage for 20 years.

Me: "It's mud!"
Fboab: "No it's not, it's rust!"
Me: "How can it be rust, it wasn't like that when we set out!"
Fboab: "The wet has flushed it out."
Either way - it needs attention!
