    There's mountain bikes on that list, that must be a mistake, right?

    That list is rubbish. None of my bikes are on it. It should be titled:

    The 50 second-best bikes.

    Actually, to be honest, mountain bikes are fine, it's mountain bikers I don't like!

    Pleased to see that I actually have one the bikes on the list, or more correctly Bompette who has the Isla Beinn 24 - unlike most of the other bikes, Islabikes simply have no competition in their category. Bomplet will probably be getting a Rothan soon too, she can already say "bike" so she must be ready.

    As for mountain bikers, I go out on mine at 6am so no-one sees me :wink:

    Who the hell picked that lot? And what's their justification? There were 2 frames and a trailer, FFS. I thought I'd accidentally dropped in on a thread from commuting.

    Should've been titled 50 best BSOs (except for, maybe, 10).

    I think they've paid for advertising space.

    I reckon this bloke compiled the list, written a couple of books about cycling.

    I went one better and bought a CX - now both sides want to s**t on me from a great height! Win-win!

    But seriously, that list. Seriously?

    Clearly a list for the followers of fashion IMO.
