[Closed] My new (old) squeeze is finally ready for the hills

man that's hideous,but I really like odd,quirky bikes and that sir ticks my boxes...

oh dear god! my eyes! my eyes!

For what has been seen cannot be unseen

Don't suppose you'd have the Lottery numbers for next Saturday would you?

The red chainstay cover spoils it. That aside it look good. Like a giant black locust.
How does it ride ?

Nice Bike! Didn't the preston's chuck loads of riders over the bars due to the front shock position???

It rides like a bike 10 days old rather than 10 years 8). I rode an '08 Orange ST4 back to back with this at Swinley the other day and even the owner of the Orange said he prefered this to his own bike which I think says it all.

And yes the red chainstay cover is now gone as I now have a black one :D.

I remember them floating round bumpy corners like nothing else (apart from a monster DH bike)

A friend who I used to go riding with rode one and he loved it. Forgot how strange they look. He said linkage forks would kill off telescopic forks, he got that one a bit wrong. He cracked fork, swing arm and mainframe.
