Looks like pretty much the worst hack/commuter bike I can think of.

Can't help thinking that front disc might be more use with some sort of device to squeeze it?

Its actually quite a light alu frame. looks can be decieving! The old Saracen frames are awesome!

oh and its not THAT actual bike pictured... thats just for reference.

I don't see why its a bad hack bike? some of us like to have fun on the way to work (dirt jumps, skate parkx2 and some good stairs etc en route!

You go out for a drunken ride on a bmx, and this is what happens

Looks interesting though, I'm going to do the coast to coast on my blender, so it shouldn't be too bad... :roll:

The Northern Monkey

hahaha! All in good fun though!
I've been wanting to take it off his hands for a while now, but he's always said no!

lmao... its got a 3.0" michelin tyre on the front!
A rear brake (possible a hope thingy) but its very old and in dire need of a service.
A rather old but not bad 'zochii fork

was gonna pick it up tonight but I got drunk instead...yay

The question is what state will you be in by the time you get to work!

The Northern Monkey

tyres and innertubes bought today... should get it rolling tonight and i'll wack a great big photo in "your mountain bikes"

Dunno wether I should ride it to work tomorrow though... the rear brake "works" and the is no front brake

tlw1

front brake is for the weak!

The Northern Monkey

Its a rolling chassis now

the BB is fecked though (understandable) and the brake is comical!
jsut waiting for photobucket to accept my photos!
