Retard thinks Muddyfox BMX is better than GT

Some guy that i know thinks that his rusted up bodged up Muddyfox BMX with no brakes is better than a well looked after custom GT? He seems to be totally convinced that it really is better than a GT.
I told him to go look it up online and see how much more GTs are worth compared to Muddyfoxes...apparently he doesnt need to because Muddyfox are amazing? So i told him to find his bike in the Argos catalogue, and if he finds it in there it is obviously a pile of shit
I would tell him to compare the specs of GT bikes to Muddyfox bikes of the same year but he has NO clue how to do anything with bikes but still calls himself "a bike builder" (he takes the front wheel off one supermarket bike and puts it on another) So he obviously cannot compare specs on bikes.
I told him that ill make a thread on a forum and prove him wrong. So i wanted to post on here to get peoples opinions and prove to him that a crappy Muddyfox BMX with missing/rusted parts is better than a GT. The actual word he used to describe my bike is "girly" and heres the picture of my GT. Dont unfortunately have a picture of the BMX.

I'm going to say I'd rather walk than be forced to ride either of those POS.
Also, back in the day (before you were born sonny), Muddy Fox used to be the obvious' necessaries!
By the way, What in the name of the baby jeebus is going on with that stem and bars? It must be like riding one of these:

LOL @ Clank
And i was supposed to change that stem but i bought a Chucker frame so im trying to finish that as soon as possible. A new stem isnt a must so i didnt buy one. Bought slicks instead.
Even if i bought one it would be less comfortable then it would be now. That stem setup is really comfortable. It dont look nice though but idm about that for now.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Who ever made that meme is a legend. "lasht night" Sean Connery is a ledge.
And i kinda gathered by now that no one actually gives a shit.0 -
Either way, his Classic muddyfox BMX is still better than whatever the hell that thing is. Without seeing it I can already guarantee it will handle better.
I do hope that's not the bike you're referring to as a "well looked after custom GT"0 -
Considering how it looked when i got it, it definitely is well looked after...i know its old but i like it.
It handles very very well actually. If it didnt i would have done something about it by now.
His muddyfox isnt classic either... Its the frame from this photo but the brakes dont work and all the controls are rusted. The wheels are bent and different colours.

Seriously, dude. I would mock you. But the challenge has gone.How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

Ok ok...give me a break...my bike is retro with altus cranks and v brakes and all the rest of it and is probably older than me. But cmon. Im 16. Its not like i can afford something amazing. And i dont need something amazing.
I like my bike, shit or not. I dont care if people mock me or my bike cause its not like im gonna pick up and throw it in the bin just cause it gets called a "thing". I have a much higher spec bike that does the job of commuting but i chose this over it because i like it more.
There is no need to mock me anyhow, LOL. I know my bike is old. Im not trying to make it sound amazing by calling it "custom" Its a retro bike, it cant compete with new bikes for shit, on or off road. I like it, it works for me and i dont care.0 -

You posted up a pic, so yes, I've seen it. It's not "well looked after", or "custom". It was pulled from a skip, had some bargain bucket parts thrown on it with no apparent thought if they're designed to work together, then been doused with some cheap spray can paint.
Throwing random parts on a bike does not make it custom. It makes it shlt!
And I don't need to ride it to know that a 200mm stem made from pig iron with a 75deg angle coupled with a mahoosive riser bar will ride like a bus with jelly wheels.
The best thing, is that I ignored your thread in the "your MTBs" section in the interests of being polite. However as you've now gone and posted it again in the crudcatcher (presumably in some poorly veiled attempt to elicit some "wow, nays bayk m8, 10/10, now r8 mayn" moredirt type responses) I can now tear strips off it forevermore.
So again.
BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ehh...read the post above yours? maybe? I dont care what you think about my bike. And i said MYSELF that i know its a low spec bike. and I know it doesnt compare to all of your £3000 or w/e bikes you ride.
And you sound like your getting a bit over excited. Calm down 0 -
No, your bike is shlt.GT-Arrowhead wrote:Ok ok...give me a break...my bike is retro
Great, and good for you, seriously. But then the best thing to do would be to ride it, maybe with a bag over your head or something, I don't know. But what you shouldn't have done was start a thread in the crudcatcher of all places, to try and garner support for it.GT-Arrowhead wrote:I like my bike, shoot or not.

C'mon, where is this "much higher spec bike that does the job of commuting".
Pics or GTFO!
Yes there is. Every need.GT-Arrowhead wrote:There is no need to mock me anyhow, LOL.
Yes you are, that's exactly what you said in your first post.GT-Arrowhead wrote:I know my bike is old. Im not trying to make it sound amazing by calling it "custom"

You do know you posted this in the crud catcher yeah?0

LOOOOOOL. I know its shit. Spec wise. For me though its good. Thats what im trying to get at.
And here is the other bike. It is much lighter and the wheels arent "jelly" and its not retro or shit. (you will still call it shit im guessing?) And this ISNT how it is now, this is a picture of how it looked when i got it, before you get all excited over that too. It has since been made road worthy with new tyres and tubes, has been cleaned, and brakes and gears have been readjusted. And a new seat...

So where is the picture of it now then?
Why show us a pic of when you got it?0 -

Got it in one. You must like being abused! 0 -
A retard might well struggle to comprehend the difference between 2 bikes. After all a retard has severely impaired cognitive abilities and usually has an IQ of 70 or below, consequently many struggle to even put their own clothes on.
Clearly therefore he is not a retard as it would appear that his social skills are such that he can hold a conversation and engage in argument, reasoned or not.
Either way, I'd rather ride a rusty BMX than that thing.0 -
