Patio looks good. But the uneven bartape would make me violent.

That is possibly the greatest thing I have seen on the interwebz, DR.

QR, hoods on the arse end of the drops, thumbies, aero, tri-spoke, kickstand. It's got it ALL!

Surely nobody would..

Somebody already has, if the ebay listing is genuine!

Love the innovation, bar tape wrapped around the hoods. It's like someone explained to the factory how to build them over the phone.

Suspension: Multicoloured

Needs more red

Well, according to our feedback and profile, you can see that we just start here on Amazon. I did not why there is so many so called professors never buy and use this bike have such on earth reviews ? It seems that have something new been destroyed by them giving them such beautiful feeling.
So even they can tell the died one feeling too in the coffin just like witch ?

I'm won over

Oh the Amazon q&a...

A. Around 50kmh.

I managed to read 3 Amazon reviews before collapsing in tears, so thanks for that, brightened up a foul morning.

I see these outside Universities, here in China.
Wait till you see the ones which are fold able as well.
I'll go out (when it's stopped raining) and find one to take a pick.

15kg must be wrong, not unless they are encasing industrial waste inside the frame or using solid tubes.

Put it this way, my DH frame weighs 11lb, even my .243 never even weighed that with an old set of reinforced Marz Z1's on it.

Incredible 😯

It's like the result of some sort of freak experiment where someone who's never seen a bike before was given a Time RXR with red Boras, a cheap 10 speed child's bike, a few tabs of acid, and told to design a new type of bicycle !!

I can believe the 15kg, I bought a road bike from a friend for £50 to see how I'd get on with drop bars and the like (also ropey cheap thing with those thumb shifters) and the forks alone weighed about 4kg!

Another for believing the 15 -16 kgs. We once had a bike come in the shop, looking every bit the super aero wind cheating machine, profiled tubes, Really deep section rims, aero bars and the most slammed position you could imagine.

Fine if it had been carbon, but it was a hi ten frame with alu forks and wheels. Bet it was nearer 20kg than 15 but it's own seemed happy with it saying it was much faster than his last one (I dread to think).

The heaviest bike we've had in the workshop required 2 people to lift it in the stand. One person couldn't lift it and clamp it in the stand at the same time. Some full sus BSO. Unbelievable.

Getting dangerously close to the lifting at work regulations?
