    BSO - Bike Shaped Object. Generally a cheap and nasty thing that looks like a bike but is nowhere safe enough to ride.

    And get photos of your Demo up so we can compare.

    It does look like a bit of a BSO, but then again so did all early full sus bikes, £40 is a pretty good deal. Those look like avalanche forks as well, they go for a pretty penny! I'm guessing some people on here could do with a lesson in mtb history! ;)

    I'm just laughing at the fact he thinks this is better than a Demo 8. That's what makes me chuckle so much. That, and his amazing english as well.
