    Shaft drive is a cool idea. But that frame is horrific.

    They mistakenly describe the bike as "a true urban tool", when clearly they are referring to whoever is riding it :?

    it was funny watching tim lovejoy ride it,he pulled a skid and nearly fell off it,he said the gear change was smooth...well it would be,wouldnt it haha...

    i can think of a few bikes id rather buy then this,but as the "ldn" is suppose to stand for "london",i think thats who it is aimed for with the congestion charge :roll: didnt say what the travel on front forks is tho?

    Frame looks like it's made of recycled toilets.

    LDN - bad enough cycling in a normal bike through LDN, must say that if anyone was to ride through the city in anything as provocatively faggotish as this abortion then they deserve to be run over by drug crazed Essex van driver.

    Mind you I'm no style guru.

    I wouldn'T even ride that if someone gave it to me as a present. And I certainly wouldn't hang it on my wall to be a sculpture. I'd rather put a frozen turd on the wall, at least it'll look better.

    Right then, I am on a mission now. Anyone know where I can get one of these drug crazed Essex vans. Anybody who rides a converted toilet cannot be trusted to sit the right way round on a normal one!

    I don't know what the urban tool refers to. Tim Lovejoy or the bloke who buys the bike?

    Could be worse. There could be a gaydad version with an "ejector seat". :shock:
