rubbish bike is sooo rubbish he must be cool?

I have to ask what the guys doing that a normal good tourer wouldn't cope with.
That said I'd like to see the riding he does in those super narrow flatties, I'd rather test fly a jet.

i'm surprised no-one's mentioned or noticed that other "wonderous" bit of 90's kit the good ol' GIRVIN FLEXSTEM....flex being the operative word....maybe thats why he's got the second set of bars...i found one in a box at home years ago....and that's where its staying...

I also noticed that however i've an even greater question. How come the girvin is for an Aheadset? I'm ready to be proven mistaken but i reckon they stopped doing them long before quil stems met their demise.

Flexstems were all we had before suspension forks became worth buying. We thought they were pretty good at the time.

That bike looks to me as if it's designed to take 26" and 700 wheels.
