😀 character!

For some reason, it all reminds me of that guy who came on here to tell the story of how he took Superstar components to court. Sure he had a similar sort of bike.

If some of the threads on here are to be believed, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't delivered like that 🙂

I wonder if he built it like that because it's a 'state of mind' like the tw*t with the wheels a while back.

Teamslug was that the guy with the Phil wood track hubs laced wierdly? As it was his "strong belief" it was better? If so that was one of the best threads in ages and I bet he was gutted when they sold for peanuts lol.

saw this whilst Looking for a cheap bike for a pal and 😯 at it. I think they are selling more appropriate forks with it, but makes you wonder if it has actually been ridden with those forks, for that reason I was out. Makes you wonder what / if they were thinking when they thought selling it with those forks on was a good idea. Didn't read the jibberjabber, suspect it may be bad.

Following that thread the owner of those wheels sent me numerous emails. I had to block him, he must have been really pissed off 🙂

So many questions....

Whats under the purple towel that it couldn't be moved but also couldn't be photographed?

Who puts a washing machine in the middle?

Is that astroturf in the kitchen?

And if you're in one of the millions of houses (and every single flat?) that don't have one?

Or is this back to the middle class thread? It lives in whichever room you keep Toby and Jocosta's skis, (horse) riding kit and dad's artisan homebrew setup and boutique axe? 😉

You make a joke about it when someone asks 'where else would it go?' on a forum 🙂

[edit] yes it was a reference to the middle class thread.
