    Awesome. There should be a one-make-only downhill series for bikes like that. I'd watch.
    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.

    I can understand the frame, that's something special, but the forks just look standard to me?

    If that was like, less than £100, I'd buy one.

    Cleverly it says "jump STYLE". That will stop anyone being able to sue them when it folds up on the first jump attempt.

    To be fair they don't mention landing the jump

    I actually want one. Just to see how many curbs it would take to snap that downtube off by pedaling.

    Is that someone riding one in the Cycleguard Insurance advert underneath?
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

    Hell yeah.
    I've been tempted to ride Coed y Brenin on a sub £100 quid bike for a while, just for sh*ts and giggles.
    Or, maybe the new freeride section in Llandegla, if it's any good.

    We've done Cwmcarn on 25 quid eBay sheds a couple of times now. Great fun, but makes you appreciate your proper bike.

    I don't remember what magazine it was in, but a few years ago I remember seeing an article on them trying to see what it would take to break a bike typically thrown in skips.

    I remember lots of good pictures, including one of a guy on a DH track whose bars had just snapped and he no longer had control, all because of a small stone.
