I've seen quite a few bikes built like that rolling round the local parks. 😯

Did you mention it to the customer service desk, so that it could be altered before other not as well informed customers could be saved from copying their ,'mechanic's' mistake?

Doesn't actually look like it will make a lot of difference to that bike!

You lot are all jumping to conclusions. I can't even see the min insertion mark on the stem with that level of detail. We need a close up.

Great choice calling it a 'Vertigo', the marketing guys must have named that one on a Friday afternoon

Box contains a bike called a 20" Anaconda, FFS....! I'm sure that appears in another catalogue somewhere....

Speaking of which, much hilarity back in the day when Saracen brought out a range of kids bikes and one was on the stock list as "Girls 15 inch pink Vibe"

When I recently did my cytec lvl 2 there were 9 tesco employees doing lvl 1. It was a farce, some of them didn't even get to touch a bike let alone swing a spanner. Honestly it was terrifying how little knowledge they went away with.

I have riden with a young athletic couple with new bikes . One manitou forked the other rockshox, you can guess the rest . The rockshox owner I met a few weeks later and because he had ridden so long set up like the mrs, he did not like the handling now.

Wally - good find, that's a great piccy! I often get bikes brought in for repairs assembled this way and the owners have no idea there's something wrong.
FatLad; what does Cytech teach these days? I've employed guys with certificates and been absolutley staggered by how little they know.

I've seen two bikes built like this locked up outside our Mech Eng department 😯 . Please God no, not going into industry thinking that's OK.

Didn't Tesco do something similar last year? Seems to ring a bell.
