You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

There was a guy on here who used to post - he had a singlespeed full sus Kona - that was pretty :shock:0

this is heralded as a good bike but lord almighty, it is so ugly it could trick or treat down the phone and its very proximity would turn milk fizzy and remove the shine off my teeth
infact, the only way it could be worse would be to fit a saddle pouch, some mud guards and a frame mounted pump:

It's a GT DH/FR from back in '06 I think, one of the first bikes with a gearbox but not widely liked (even thou it was MBUK Superbike back-in-the-day). One of the guys in my LBS bought one, used it twice I think and it was put back on sale in the shop at a massive discount, still didn't move for months and months.0 -
Almost forgotten about this!

If anyone on here can find a picture of the 'Avanti Tuatara' I reckon it could challenge for the lead! Is proving very hard to dig up a pic of. It was the bike to have when I was back at school but my god it was ugly.Scott Ransom 10

This is amazing! I was going to make a post about that bike as on sunday I was out for a ride and I saw a guy on one of those. Its the first time I've ever seen one but it's an absolutely hideous creation. I felt like I should have washed my eyes after looking at it.0 -

Doesn't Supersonic own all the Zaskars ever produced? May these are his favourites.
Or the offspring of some Zaskar breeding program he ran in the late 90s.Whyte 905 (2009)

Ouch that smarts - I have that colour and all!
Although, it doesn't look anything like that picture in the flesh - here's mine - it's way more silvery and lighter:
