Looking on eBay for a bike for my girlfriend, and came across this beauty.....Oh dear!
Thanks Kinda - seemed to get soemthing wrong there.
You just paste the url in rather than trying to add url= etc i still keep trying to put <***> and wondering why it doesn't work
WTF OMG 😯
run! run away screaming!
That bike even makes Sonya from Eastenders look pretty!!!!
[Brando voice] Oh the horror,....the horror [/brando voice].
I kind of like those rims though...
Did he really build that himself? It's kinda cool in a 'out there' sort of way...
actually... the more I look at that the more I like it 😆 I'd love to have a closer look at it tbh, if it really is hand made then it's rather nifty!
Looks like it weighs 50lbs and bobs like a pogo.
Built by Alan Partridge in his hotel room.
Nightmare to get spares for if its all made to his own design !!
If its realy hand made this bloke should just stick to fabrication (some skill went into it) leave the design to someone who acctualy knows something about bikes.
rear suspension only!! wow
I think there is a lot of quality work in it,,,,, he is a better fabricator/welder than designer...
a good brave effort but flawed
he wasted 2yrs of his life designing that classic
"ALLTHO I WOULDNT RECOMEND TAKEN IT OFF ROAD..BECAUSE YOU WOULDNT WANT TO DAMAGE THOSE HAND CRAFTED WHEELS"
Sure wouldn't!

You are one ugly mutha****er
[/Arnie voice]
That realy is truly horrendous.
And what is it about ebay and people being completely unable to spell?! The guy supposedly designed and built this bike from scratch so clearly has some design/fabrication/welding skill yet he's unable to spell even fairly simple words - it just makes the advert look cheap.
is it just me, or are the brake pads on the rear V-brakes vertical on the tyre? rather than over the rim....
Quite ridiculous... A heron could perch on those bars and get his beak straight through to the fish
Perhaps a pond guard is the next project - judging by the bike and the collection of garden gnomes and statuettes it will be interesting.
Yes hp, I think the rear brake pads are rubbing on the tyre - more friction that way - he might be on to something there I'll have to give it a try. 🙄
