    It’s just mad…it has an oil or air tank…no shimano airlines system and I can’t see what else the tank would be for? The rear brake ‘floating’ set up would I think totally lock the rear triangle=no suspension.

    Oh and don’t get my started on the forks or drivetrain…how many crowns, how many chain rollers?!

    WTF??!!!

    Half an hour with a hairdyer to take the stickers off and it wouldn’t look so bad!

    Three crowns, and an extra floating brake arm which can’t actually be connected. W. T. F.

    EDIT: one of them is attached to the swingarm, so doesn’t actually do anything.

    He’s got a kona stab gearbox bike for sale as well. I don’t think it’s meant to be, but it is.

    Was the top brake link straight at some point in time???

    Bizarre… I just don’t understand why anyone would build such a thing!

    The Patriot is mad, but the Stab is batshit mental!

    Also, imagine the pedal kickback on that stab!

    The Orange is positively banal in comparison to this;

    At least it comes with sensible size rotors for its weight! 🙂

    edit: too slow.

    WTF is all that stuff on his bikes? The tank, the links to the rear brake, the extra chain and pulley on the Kona?

    ….and why do they have V-Brake bosses?! 😆

    The ones on the Orange are Shivers I think but surely the stanchions are too long?

    The brake lever on the giant. Child’s scooter?

    Ha ha, all three of the bikes he’s selling are ridiculous!!

    the Giant has a tie rod to the back axle too and has some sort of hub gear.

    Surely the guy would list details of the bikes if they were legit?

    I’m half tempted to buy them just to confuse people with at Cwmcarn 😛

    Surely the guy would list details of the bikes if they were legit he wasn’t madder than a sackful of angry badgers?

    The crown and stanchions on the Giant look like Manitou Minutes (never seen any with that much travel though) while the lowers appear to be Rock Shox 😯

    If they were cheap it would be worth a bid or two just for an interesting parts bin 😆

    Barking!!

    I keep coming back here to click the links to look at them again.

    Are these bits he has bolted to them some inventions from the last 10-15 years that really didn’t take off as they were rubbish?

    What do we think of these cranks?
    I imagine they are probably home drilled. Judging by his fork set-ups.

    I just don’t understand the forks. What is going with the stanchions?!

    Daft question but is it just the size of the forks creating an optical illusion or is the front wheel smaller than the rear on the Giant?

    I just don’t understand the forks any of it. What is going with the stanchions bloody everything?!
