Did you say no?
Will you be asking them to sign a disclaimer?

It's a tough call but it looks like the broken leg is paying dividends on this one

Don't you think they'll be pissed when it costs more to have it assembled than it cost to buy?

What's the quickest way to fold it? Hinge or drop off?

EDIT: HOW MUCH?!?

โ€˜BIKEโ€™.

😂

The one thing that makes a bike look like a bike to me is the front triangle. Whereโ€™s the front triangle? Iโ€™m borderline idiotic and even I know โ€œtriangle make good, strongโ€

Thereโ€™s something a bit like this, but in eBike flavour, at one of my work sites. Iโ€™ll try and remember to take a photo when Iโ€™m next there. It basically looks like a 1980โ€™s vision of the future. Like something from Tomorrowโ€™s World.

They were probably pissed when they bought it. Or do you mean pissed off?

You're alright, someone chains a fatbike up outside spoons, that fulfils the ugly quota. 😄

I'd have expected a more enthusiastic reception on here.

Crikey, 26"wheels, qr front and rear, 7 speed, cartridge bottom bracket, probably so far from new standards that it still says made in Siam, it's like a wet dream for plenty of posters.

Saw one of those yesterday fitted with a hub motor and small looking battery pack. The sticker on it read KWIKASFUKI. I did laugh.

I always found the best way to build a customer base is to mock them on the internet

I'm gonna take a wild guess that the owner of that particular 'thing' probably doesn't read STW.

I suppse it's one downside of working in a bike shop, for every ยฃ5000 MTB you get through the door, you get 5 BSO's that haven't seen a drop of lube for the last 2 years they've been sat in the garden.

No mocking just intrigued by it to be honest. A bikes a bike and it needs building and setting up safely. I am more concerned about how long it will take me to do as about a million pieces
