Looks like a nice DW Turner. Liked by people who ride, hated by posers who prefer how it looks in the carpark.

It's got to go back any way as it's a test bike. ๐Ÿ™‚

I wasn't aware that Giant made mansized wheel bikes. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Tang has it.

does the sticker pack only come with one E and one R? looks like some one has been playing with the mechano IMO.

Must be shit then.

Think I'll just take it back without trying it now I know. ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿ˜‰

Tang.

No matter how good it is my Jones won't be going anywhere.

It's a medium BTW. Not sure if it's big enough or not. I'll find out over the weekend though.

So I was right - it's 5 Spot with silly wheels! Except it's not a proper Turner. Or am I talking b******ks? Sorry, like the old Turners and I know that's biased as I've never ridden one of the new ones. But I wouldn't buy a car if it didn't at least look right. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

didn't say it was shit, just don't like the look of it, particularly the rear end, looks like its just been tacked on at the last minute. I didn't say your not allowed to buy one, you put pictures of your bike on the internet and are surprised that not everybody likes it ๐Ÿ™„ back at ya ๐Ÿ˜†

Mrpink.

You had yours long?

Does the linkage creak?

This one creaks like a bastard under load. I suspect it's not been grease properley though.

I said silly wheels - I was just jesting. I think Sideways have a DW Turner as a demo bike so I might give it a try and compare it to my old 5 Spot.

Nice. I've had a DW 5 spot for a few months now, and it really is an excellent bike. BTW, no creaks yet! Let us know how it goes.
