Irritating stunt, gives the impression they think their customers are stupid. Not impressed.

They seem to be having trouble shifting these since this is the third E-mail about this bike I have deleted from them this week.

To be fair, it's a nice looking and well spec'd bike for the price.

Well they were probably hoping someone would get irritated by it and mention it on an online cycling forum...

I thought it gave the impression that they'd like to try something a bit more original that the usual marketing guff. It made me do a proper LOLOCOPTER

I may be wrong but it seems like a little bit of a return to form for Planet X / ON-One after a few years in the doldrums.

PLanetX stuff looks solid as always but it's surely slim pickings on the MTB side - pretty uninspiring collection of bicycles. Doesn't seem to be their focus these days.
