    Just spotted this bargain basement "mountain bike".

    Lurvely:

    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.

    Ok, so who actually REALLY needs over a foot of travel...??

    After seeing Danny McGaskill's riding, on a fully RIGID, I don't think any of us need any suspension... :oops:

    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:

    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.

    wasn't riding nr carrington was he...think i saw this bike tonight

    It was just at the bridge in Bollington on the Middlewood way. Can there be more than one of these monsters in the Northwest? The way it's front supension lurches open and shut like the mouth of a mythical beast sent a shiver down my spine and I peddled away in double time.

    No bike that works well is ugly - that's just a Darwinian truth!

    I'll probably be dragged into the street and hung, drawn and quartered for this, but I've always thought the 'Commencal Meta' bike are bloody ugly things.

    Apparently great bikes...but they ain't aesthetically pleasing, that's for sure!
