Wahey, another one!

Welded girder special - the CBR Gatecrasher:

cat_with_no_tail

Honestly not even sure where to start with that.

Quite frankly, amazing!

No wait, that's not the word I wanted is it? what was it?........................

oh that's right.............



dogshit!

supersonic

£150! 6 speed revoshift! Where the hell did they find 6 speed kit?!

The Northern Monkey

If you look at it for long enough, its almost as gopping as the Orange 5.

supersonic

Probably weighs less though.

delcol

northern monkey beat me to it..

the orange 5 has a contender for the mbr ugliest bike ever.. i reckon a perfect 10 score here.. after they changed the tyres and controls of course then complained about the grip and reach...

supersonic

Hand welded in Burma.

Northwind

I want to go on record here that I absolutely love that. It's the pushiron equivalent of a Ducati 916



(I almost said "2 wheeled equivalent")

From the Argos website:

Shimano gears.
Front V-type and rear V-type brakes.
Rigid suspension.
Weight fully assembled 18kg

18kg for the v-brake version - wonder how much the disc version weights :shock:

Actually - if you go onto the argos website it doesn't appear to have any brakes fitted at all - the cables just lead into thin air!

Beats forks on backwards I suppose.....

i actually saw one of those not long ago,thanks for reminding me....b*+S!-"d

mrmonkfinger

"rigid suspension" ?

is it that short of features that they have to advertise it by stating a lack of a feature?

Mojo_666

Someone actually sat down and drew that on a piece of paper and thought to themselves "wow, that's rad" that person went and showed it to other people who agreed so much that they decided to throw money into making it real.

I need to know where I can find these people.

Clacton, every summer.

I like the fact that the 'gatecrasher', actually utilises a section of farmer's gate in its construction 8)

They're generally not allowed out without their carers. They can count to potato and don't like you touching their ears.

This is quite obviously a bargain as it was £269.99! How can you say otherwise when its nearly half price, and free delivery! I've just ordered two to replace the gates on my driveway.

Definitely a bargain compared to this:

Choked on my tea when I saw the price :shock:

Even the 'mountain bike style tyres' it is fitted with make it difficult to justify.

The Rookie

Zoom into the picture and the hydraulic discs mysteriously have cables on them as well.....best Promax on the front and the rear is mounted 180degrees out as the cable pull lever is the wrong side and it's in completely the wrong place - someone shouldn't be allowed near photoshop, presumably the same guy who on the farm gate crusher has one V-brake post covered with a black cover and one with a green cover?


Check out the rear brake, especially with the amazing dispearing spoke protector (with drawn on spoke pattern?)
and how the rear mech cable dispears as it crosses 'in front' of it!

Rushmore

haha, where is this from?

sanchez89

im sure someone from my area has 1 of the girder bikes.

its bright green and i see him on the way home pushing it up the hill. no wonder if it weights 18kg.

ill try and get pic next time i see it.

ha ha, that looks like the seatpost is actually supporting the BB!
