Tonight’s eBay special…

Errrrrrr

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pristine-Rocky-Mountain-Element-30-full-suspension-mountain-bike-x-large-/155451678843

Jeeez x-large & that stem + saddle height!

Wowsers

That is a really strange thing to behold!

Bonkers …I do like the frames paint job though

Obviously influenced by the Berm Peak vertical stem review/test🤔

I do like a bodge and the ‘front’ mudguard is a joy indeed.

You know what would improve it? A 26″ wheel on the front.

It’s probably worth that in headset spacers alone.

That’s the sort of thing I got used to seeing cruising through Munich….

Some expensive bike that had been sold to some schmuck with more money than sense.

Santa Cruz Nomad with an Aldi special bike radio mounted to the bars, a basket up front and one of those Topeak rear racks that attaches to the seat post, although in this case it was a dropper.

Tonight, i stumbled across something that may be even better than that one…

Rich_s – so many questions of the frame builder…

I’ve never felt sorry for a bike until now. I thought the bikes at leogang were getting abused, but that’s another level of torture.

Sometimes people have a particularly bad back and if they can afford it they tend to buy full sus bikes and set them up with very high bars and cushioned saddles, exactly like that one, just for pottering around on. You could argue it might be wise to fit a conventional stem to sell it, but they just got a load of free advertising by keeping the extender on there, so…

The tandem’s just a tandem built in the style of a Halfords Special. It’s not pretty as a result, but if you want a tandem and you don’t have a wad of cash it’s an absolute bargain.

That second one is homemade I’m pretty sure. Looks like a bso argos full susser with another welded onto it

Completely legit, just Google “barracuda nevada duet tandem”

true dat

Knowing how heavy a normal Barracuda BSO is I dread to think how heavy that tandem must be

Do i have to? 😁

I want to see the other side of that ROcky Mountain. I’m curious as to where that gear cable is going. Nothing seems to be going through the internal holes.

Why not treat your kids to an “ebike”….

Wow!  I have that exact same set up.

What’s the worst that could happen…..

Looks like it’s been inspired by a Lahar.

Whilst I suspect the more sympathetic posts above are correct…

Hi! Welcome to Chichester! We all have more money than sense. Apart from me of course.

Here in Liverpool I’m amazed at the amount of full sus e-bikes the kids have. Just about everywhere there’s kids riding around on £7 or £8k bikes.

Ive always been intrigued to ask if they ride them off road…..never been quite brave enough!

Im not in anyway referencing drug dealing, some of them are clearly good riders and are doing to be out on their bikes.

Came across this interesting one recently:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295753354888

6 months of research and prototyping to go 70mph on a bmx with Tesla batteries!!!

55 quid but its been on sale for a while now so there may be a deal to be had.

As you can see it also has a small crossbar child seat so fun for all the family.

The Barracuda says “pick-up only”, yeah, good luck with that.

It’s worrying that people think building a 70mph BMX is a safe thing to do.

Where does it say anything about safe? 😀

Anyone fancy a doer upper? They reckon it ‘might’ need a new chain!
