I've been asked to service a bike. I decided to weigh it (I know.. I know..)

So go on then, how much d'ya reckon this weighs? (In pounds please)

I feel very sorry for Stoner Jr's mates when they come over for a play and we all go out on the bikes. Stoner Jr's rips along on his Islabike Beinn, but the other poor souls are are on hefty BSO's that really sap their strength and spirit.

OMG - and to make it worse it looks like those brakes are zero effective - still at last you can see where the poor little blighter ended up in the bushes.

You should tape it off and cover it in 'Condemned as a health and safety risk' stickers.

I specifically instructed my BIL not to buy his 5 year old a FS. He did, and it weighs more than mine. My nephew hates it and has started not to ride the stupid bouncy POS. All to save £20 odd. Bellend. It's not like he's short of a few quid (as he keeps reminding me..)

No, surprisingly.

30.5lb for the record.
Holy crap it's heavy. My pitch is only about 1/2 - 1lb heavier, the 2 bikes behind are 3-4lb lighter.

Why do people buy this crap.... Then expect ME to fix it????? 🙄

Because you work in a bike shop and provide that service?? I assume they will be paying you for the privilege?

That'll be one of those trick "composite" frames then (except the two composite components are sand and cement...) 😉
