The Whyte PRST-4 can't be the ugliest

The PRST-1 is worse:

awesome some really ugly bikes

james i actualy prefer the preston 1 swinging arm to the look of the jw4

the jw4 one seems to look to heavy ,,,, not too sure about your hose routing for the rear brake

it's great to see an early preston still being used,, my geared preston one has the same set up straight bars with bar ends

they are ugly stunning in that unconventional way,, not to everyones taste like Drew Barrymore that is drew not michael

Having seen a Ellsworth dare in the flesh imo they are very nice bikes,owned a Cannondale super V and remember when Proflex first came out how I wanted the 959.

I really like K2, Proflex, Whyte Preston and the Scotts. Should I seek help?

I rode one of the PRST1 prototypes at Cheddar when it was doing the rounds (I think Dave Hemming was still the rep for ATB back then), the lads had a railway sleeper on the ground and where encouraging people to ride over it to show how plush the fork was. It worked for me, I ordered one next week, also had a PRST4 which was a better bike to ride due to the better back end.

Dibbs i was there working with Dave,, glad you liked the demo imagine trying that on any tele fork

StuE has found the winner

Come to think of it most 29er bikes 😉

should i be worried ? I like the trek,,, just off to phone the swine flu help line
