Apparenlty it's perfect for pump tracks, 4x and dh. I'd pay to see someone doing any of those of the bike.

that black hardtail's forks have longer stanchions that lowers - what the holy **** is going on there?

Triple clamps. They just slide the stantions down and removed the top crown. Not the safest thing to ride...

180mm forks??? On a frame rated to 130mm?? That's an accident waiting to happen.

What the...

Those forks! It appears that the crowns have allen bolts at the rear, which would explain how the stanchions have been installed in a single crown fork.

That thing must flex something rotten.

Pmsl. .... I'm actually in stitches here after viewing them. 😀 Thanks for sharing. Going off to chuckle some more.

edit: the 2nd one needs a sheep's skull on the handlebars to finish the look. :mrgreen:

love that it's in Braintree. Is that a real place? Must be a university town.

(apologies if you're from Braintree)

Braintree is far from a uni town! Used to be a massive chav town but fair play to the council it's on the up and not a bad place now.

Pretty good BMX track too - although I wouldn't out that bike round it!
