Ah. I was looking at that thinking, that's not bad, bit ugly but it's about time someone made a budget rigid bike, makes loads more sense than suspension for the sub-£300 market. Then I clicked the link and 😯 and then 😯 and a bit of 😯

Who was it on here that upon seeing the picture of that bike got the pens and paint out and gave their bike that colour scheme?

I think it's a beut! The paintwork is actually original rather than looking the same as most of the bikes about these days seem to (but then I also loved the zoaltone Marins).
Would I buy it no - IIRC it is even made of plain guage chromoloy so is a proper mutton dressed as lamb job.

Back in the day, Troy Lee and Intense teamed up to make a $25,000 M1 for a trade show. Sold in five minutes.
