Holy cow, was that built for a joke or what? I recall reading about Chas Roberts building bikes for hugely tall people, and he tried to make them look as "normal" as possible. That just looks mad, like someone's photoshopped a regular frame
:shock:

That's brilliant. So many quotable parts of the ad - I particularly like the instruction to "screw up" basically every mechanical part.
It's also nice how you get to tape your own bars.I'm left handed, if that matters.0 -

Check out the return policy.....
Return Policy Dead on Arrival Items
Put in a search for "Inbike 700c", you get quite a few results from spurious website that are from bloggers saying they bought the bike.

I also found one that says it weighs 13 lb.
Do you realise I can buy the same piece of junk in Greece for 1171 euros? curiously I feel ripped-off.

Edit:- I just realised, they are quite careful not to mention 'road' in the description, hence the 'mountain' in the title. This and others are not legal, and some are described as 'track bikes'.

I'm wondering if there is a valid reason for the bike to be setup like that.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

There's a Genesis in Your Bikes section setup in pretty much the exact same fashion.....

Brand new sealed in box, 85% assembled, Need fitting of Both pedals, stem / bars, front wheel, front & back brake cable & seat. Brakes also need some adjustment. {did they put the sum total of all the parts and work out an assembly time for that one?]
we 'strongly advise you to get it done by a skilled bike mechanic.(for safty reason we wont provide any instruction or tools [?!?!?] and if you dont know about bike then you shouldnt fit the final parts).
bike shop may charge from 10 to 15 or 20 gbp for final fitting and this is buyers responsibility
