I don’t ride street – Check
I don’t ride dirt jumps – Check
I don’t ride 4X – Check

So why do I have an irrational want for one of these

Sometimes I despair with myself 🙂

I assume you are also not 5’0″ tall…
It looks weenie,
Or is it a 36er… ooooh if its a 36er single speed sus bike I want one too, for no good obvious reason 😉

yeah thats nice what is it?

My diagnosis is that you wanted but didn’t get a black and gold Raleigh Burner as a kid. Perhaps you had to make do with a Grifter. This frustrated desire is manifesting itself now in the form of your inexplicable lust for this freakish-looking contraption.

I want bikes that I think will make me the type of rider I want to be.

That one up there is one of those sorts of ‘if I had one of those I could do dirt jumps’ bikes.

BLK MRKT Killswitch. A fine choice. Odd tyre choice on that example though.

I can completely sympathise.

My riding is at best bimblecore, I don’t jump nor do any form of freeride / downhill / slopestyle riding, yet really believe that I need a Transition Bottlerocket.

bimblecore

😆

Killswitch’s look amazing. That sort of thing makes me want to run my Rail singlespeed.

thats hideous. suggest you should give yourself a good telling off.

To answer a few questions ….

Tis indeed a BLK MRKT Killswitch

I am 6′ 3” so riding a bike like this would be knee buckling

True I never had a Raleigh BMX – something far cooler a Meteor Lite currently undergoing a full overhaul owned since new (about 1986)

No tyres = ‘core?

(bimble or hard)

wwaswas – no idea, but I’ll have nightmares involving that chainring tonight!

I can’t even ride with flats, and I go all funny when I don’t have a front brake. But I still want one.
