    Pretty?

    Can you see a bike when riding it?
    Can you see a bike when it's covered in mud?

    Buy it, ride it!

    So you'd rather ride a significantly less good bike that may look nice than the lot better one which may not - how strange.....

    Tell you what I'll get an Apollo and spray it in your chosen colours, it will look great and I'll only charge you £400 for the finished article.....

    Vulcan is a good option, adds hydraulic disc brakes to a spec that is otherwise pretty much the same as the 5.3.....
