people say there is a phenomenon where owners and their pets look similar, does this apply to riders and their bikes?*

for example I have a 29er single speed that has a narrow racy back end a big monkey boy front end and is ****in useless in big mountains just like me

so....

are all owners of orange 5's overbuilt large units?

do people that have Jones bikes all have leg calipers?

does anyone that owns a preston look like this?

* just worked dayshift-nightshift-dayshift my mind is slipping sorry!

I ride a reign.

It's big, tough, strong, chunky, overweight and will plough through anything to get the job done. Just like me 😉

My main bike is an Epic - light, fast, sophisticated, agile. Nothing like me then.

My bike's heavy and not really the best suited for everything it's used for. So I guess we're similar 😆

The only time i'd look like my bike is if I had to squat down for a dump in the wilds 8O.Ten points if you can guess what bike i've got. 8)

Orange 5 here- will have to ask my dad if I was made in the shed!

Overbuilt large unit- wuld love to prove you wrong but it's a fair cop guv.

Anyway tazz you can't talk - you also have an ellsworth-goes really fast but not a looker- actually you really are onto something here!
