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 f**kin 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!

maybe….

…not

I look more like my sofa than my bike.

I ride a reign.

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

does anyone that owns a preston look like this?

Bwahahahahahaha. genius!

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

Druidh in the naughty corner…

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)

I'm short and fat, got a small sc bullit. Yep.

Presumably all the girls in Croydon must ride Clockwork's, P7's, Crush's, Patriot's and 224's ect…….

tall and skinny and ride a curtis xc100 ss which is long and very skinny

you could be onto something…………..

bjj.andy.w- that'll be a nomad then

I have custom bushings and am anodised in silver, so yes.

Mine is totally unique, is equipped with all the best bits,( 😆 )and will still look as lovely in 10 yrs…so YES!!!

8)

I look like the back end of any bike 😉

LOL! I read that as "I like the look of the back end of any bike"!! 8)

Some of my bikes are beautiful, alas I am not 😳

Tazzymtb – correct 😛

my bike looks great from almost any angle. and in that respect we are incredibly similar 😉 (it also never gets washed)

my bikes are dirty

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!

Mines heavy with a little over 5 inches at the front….. 😀

mine is getting on a bit, isn't quite what it once was and hasn't been ridden in a while. much like it's owner 🙁

My bike

Me.

No.

i have a chrome grey orange 5, as ive got older i have become… ahem… 'well built' and my hair is slowly turning the same colour

……………and is it just looks or does personality count

although i dont look anything like my 456 (skinny frame or boney arse) i do have a bit of an attitude and will have a go at anything 😈

mines got inbred written all over it, just like me
