I am no fan of javascript buttons or flash, but some are i suppose. If you insist on scripted
buttons, is it not more sensible for them to go down when you click, rather than when you roll over?
The font size is too small on the 'why' page to read clearly, If yellow text is ever clear!
when you select a bike I dont like the new window opening, if i want a new window I will ask for
one. if you force me to have one it breaks the flow of my browsing (no back button)
Nice bikes though :) , a few close ups and bigger pics would be good.

Quite.........

Indeed unnecessary and messy, after looking at 2 bikes it had already pi**ed me off.. And better
navigation, nobly being able to go back to the home page is poor and not very user friendly.
>Nice bikes though :) , a few close ups and bigger pics would be good.
some comment about why a particular bike was there would be good as well, rather than just a bald
list of components. I'm not into road bikes much myself so a list of components means little to me.

interesting comments.
i dont see how opening a window to see a bike spec is a problem.
u look at the bike then shut the window makes things faster.
there is a home button(a big one) on every page so that remark is odd !!
I was hoping you would send me your bike specs not slate the site lol.
some people like 1 thing some like another i have kept it simple and easy to use with small pictures so load times are quick.
a 400 pixel main bike pic is big enough imo.
so nothing is being changed :-p
but please send me your road bike specs.

I would, but I'm just too embarassed. Mine's nowhere near as light as these. Does that necessaarily
make it a worse bike? Or a stronger bike? (It's a fast tourer type-thing)

So why don't all web pages open up in another window?
It makes navigation worse not better - since users normally expect to use the back button (or in my
case usually a 'mouse gesture or keyboard shortcut). If I *want* to open another window I have the
choice. You remove that choice.

You misunderstood. Having to go back to the Home page to navigate to other sections is clunky and
slow. It is better to have direct links to the sections on each page.

No ones slating it just giving feedback.
>some people like 1 thing some like another
Indeed they do, but some things are pretty universal in web design.

I think the suggestion was for close up pictures of sections of the bikes?

I don't own a road bike, now if you want to do pages on the best urban/utility bikes, or the best
tourers then we are talking....:-)

Jiggles about and the links don't work. 'Clever' HTML never is, and this isn't even valid HTML.

;; ... exposing the violence incoherent in the system...
as i say i am no web guru it will prob only work in IE
SOme of your points are valid but i have no idea how to put them in practice :-)
If i started again i agree that a menu bar which was static would be a good idea so you get get to every page without going back to the home page.
I will have this in mind when i do my next site.

i have deleted the why page and in its place will be the best bikes you can buy off the peg upto g so far check it out

Hi David
FWIW, I use IE6 - I keep on meaning to reinstall Opera - and your site works for me. I have no
objection to your bike pics opening in a separate window, although a "Close Window" button would be
a handy option, should you elect to stay with this method of navigation.
It's quite possible that you have yet to produce your trick bits, wheels section. There is no wheels
page, as far as I can see. Nor are there any links linkable from your links' link! (I trust that
makes perfect sense.)
