Let's start out with something approaching normal service... For the CNC and skate nerds, it's kinda cool, but also seems like a vest waste of metal. ...

The welding on that Cannondale makes me sad.

Pre faded init. They'll come in global-hypercolour finishes soon.

omnia are sort of like a jolly disney soundtrack, Heilung are much more fun, they even have a massive drum painted in the blood of all of the band members

Yeah, but... It's a really lovely looking bike. The dimensions appear to fit it, it looks kinda of fast and I quite like the way the frame flows. BUT. Top tube to seat post looks like a Monday morning job.

Like the look of the HABIT, but after the comments and a closer look at the welding ... nah.

Was the welding done by the work experience kid while the actual welder went for a coffee and fag break?

I like the look of those Etnies. Will the sole be good, or make me feel sadly slippery? Coming from a pair of Freerider Pro from a few years ago.

Omnia remind me of days past at the fringe in malvern. I think however, I may have had a different experience growing up and living in malvern than a lot on here though.

Why is the tread pattern on those Etnies called ‘geohex’ when they are just triangles?

Triangles? All I can see is overlapping hexagons?

More importantly what is

like a vest waste of metal

And what are you on

2.75in tyres?

No, it’s a 27.5 X 2.5

And then

spend £20 in the Mersh Store

Excellent, I’m all out of mershes

I'm with you all on the Cannondale welds. If only they still double-passed then filed smooth like Cannondales of old then it would be lush in that paint job.
