I saw this box in Tesco the other night . . .

They didn't have what was in the box on display, but it was £130.

By my calculation, that means Tesco are selling bikes at £3.25/lb

    There amazing those bikes the frame is made from magnetic Aluminium. Thats a very rare alloy only found on BSOs from supermarkets.

    A mate against all advice bought one of those pieces of shit from Argos for his daughter and asked me to put it together I told him he should be reported for child abuse. On my luggage scales a 12 inch bike weighed 37 pounds.

    If these bikes are anything like their burgers they should be proper thoroughbreds

    If the people buying them have never known any better why would they think it's bad? A lot of people still think £250 gets you a top end, race ready bike, they think that a £1000 bike is what a pro uses for the tour de france and a Raleigh Activator is a high end downhill bike.

    Oh yeah? Like who?

    And by "Still think", do you mean their beliefs were once correct, but are no longer?

    I'm guessing people who have no idea about bikes.
