"BOTTLE CAGE: Carbon but is for display only if used the paint will scrach and look like a masive bunch of pants (sprayed to mach)."

"just the 3mile test ride (on road) i took it on "

wat. reminds me of those old tango adverts, and not in a good way,

also it's a home made frame right? dunno about this guy, but would you ride that? imho quite useless except for orange parts..

maybe i'm missing the point. at least it is orange, i keep clicking threads that say Orange and the bike is often white, or green, or.. 😛

gosh.

There's a lot of work gone into that but I think he'll struggle to find a buyer.

the orange is bad enough, but red anodized brakes? WTF is that about?

And i don't think the frame is home-made. Imported from China, and then painted.

I never cease to be amazed at the shear amount of time, effort and money that can go into producing something so truly offensive

I feel a bit ill now

Totally legit, if you go thru his eBay history you can see where he's been buying up all the orange coloured bits for it! Also as mentioned above his user name is pretty appropriate. I think it looks sweet!

i don't think he's dodgy, i think he's mental. what possesses a guy to say "i'm going to build a really orange bike - yea no the orang-est bike you've ever seen - ride it once and then put it on ebay". it's not something you can do in one drunk evening, that shit takes planning 😀
or maybe it sells and we really have a great business idea here.

"If this is not quite the bike of your dreams but have always wanted a custom build just for you let me know exactly what you want and i can make it hapen" [sic]

this is what it's about.. an advert for his services. you supply the taste, he supplies the skills. 🙂

I agree with smiff, as an advert for his work it's pretty good. It's not my cup of tea (did I mention I like black) but I can appreciate the effort and thought that has gone into the bike.

I like the skull artwork, just a shame that when you put it with everything else it just looks so gopping

its obviously fast as loads of things are:

(sprayed to mach).

begs the question, which mach number

to be fair the quality of the work done looks pretty good. too much of a good thing though...

Yep, he/she looks pretty nifty with the spray gun but I suspect he might have got more interest with just spraying the frame and not building up into a bike. No doubt spend many hours on it and has done a simple calculation - 40 hours @ £50 of his time and the cost of the bits = £3500.

I do quite orange but thats just a bit too much, even for me.
