But the green is 4 quid cheaper, and it's green so I'm kind of saving the planet...

But I like Orange.

If you live in Glasgow or Belfast, I'd pick another bike.

SOMEONE is going to be angry, whichever you choose.

The orange one clearly - the green one is tiny in comparison!

Edit - hang on... the green one changes sizes when you touch it - I've changed my mind; the green one, the green one!

Don't live in Glasgow, I'm C of E & the Mrs is Catholic, I must say you are all being very helpful in not making my mind up.

Orange kind of goes better with the dogs I'll be hauled by (half the reason for buying is the coaster brake), but I am taken by the Green.

Orange.

The descriptions are enough to make me want to buy one!

Transition Bikes is proud to announce a giant step backwards with their latest bike. The Klunker features absolutely no technology and is in no way optimized

Orange (but that's my answer on any colour query even when orange isn't an option - see my username!)

I think 500 quid is cheap what else can you buy for that money with that much cred, a set of forks?

I like that it doesn't just come with inappropriate downhill tyres- it comes with really bad inappropriate downhill tyres. Double win!

A 90s Rockhopper out of a skip, and about 200 litres of cheap wine?

What's wrong with the tyres?
It's a klunker!
What tyres are klunkers sposed to have?
Well lets qualify that a tad, what tyres does STWorld think they should have?

Like. want. But £500 is insane. On one should make a realistically priced model. £300 or so.

They're downhill tyres, slow, heavy and horrible to do anything but ride downhill on. Also, they're bad downhill tyres. I know nothing about original klunkers but I don't think they used downhill dualplies on the count of they hadn't been invented.

Yes but then I wouldn't want it, who would want to buy a none legitimate internet nerds branded klunker?

It would be like pulling up in an Audi with Unix manuals on the back seat, my stomach hanging over my lycra beneath an STW T shirt and stepping astride a single speed straight bar'd jobbie.

Yes, I could also debadge an Audi, wear lycra two sizes to large, take the metal clips off spd's, drive by the Surrey Hills...

But I would know and it would make me feel dirty.. 😉

And it's only a dog ride to Pub bike.

Bandit in Orange?

Pictures or it doesn't exist..

When did they make that then?

Edit.. doh, seen your post, very nice, difficult just when I was thinking Green it is then, that Bandit does look bicycally correct..

Rather my point....and exactly why I wouldn't pay £500 for the pleasure of a Transition sticker on the down tube. I think the surrey audi brigade would be more the transition types TBH.
I'd buy a rusty old schwinn if I could find one.

Transition is becoming a bit of a must have accessory round here of late, rusty old schwinns remain exactly that, and why not, 500 quid? I'm worth it, the Mrs pays more than that for handbags and this is thanks to a bit of a tax rebate.

Don't try and talk me out of it just tell me which colour I will look coolest with, that is all. Er thank you..

Whoa! I'm not trying to talk you out of it! New bikes are good.
As stated, I really like the bike but [i]in my opinion[/i] it's overpriced for what it is. Colour?
Well......
