Wise enough not to buy a *mart bike, with no real information posted about it, from an advertisement
on a newsgroup not intended for the sale of bicycles....

plus I still only get one alloy for all my money.

I could tie it to the back of my car and drag it along the motorway at 80mph.

No, they make heavy Y shaped POJ, put on cream-cheese alloy wheels, cheap twist shifters, things
that look like derailleur, things that look like brakes (you get the picture), slap Xtreem all over
it, then sell the abomination in catalogues or Woolworth's. These beasts are destined to spend most
of their life in a shed.

In Ipswich they are the staple transport of clueless numpties who ride on pavements (sidewalks, US
translation), through red lights and in the dark with no lights on, generally being cranked along in
the small cog/small cog, as they have done since leaving Argos. These people also pedal with their
heels for some unknown reason. For equally unknown reasons, they seem magnetically drawn towards the
front wheels of crispy, smoking old LDV minibuses.

Cheers SBD - I tells ya, when you seen as many of these things as I have, and had as many stoopit
eejit fecking little kids on 'em pedal their damned arses off to catch you (usually as you are
nearing a junction) because you just passed 'em doin' near 30 mph and _without_ 'rear suspension'
(the horror, the shame!!!!), then 'jump' (read 'thud') off a curb right in front of you, before
locking up the wheels to avoid the bus coming across the junction and nearly taking you out into the
bargain, they kinda hold a special place in your heart (deep breath!)......

Shaun aRe - just 'fettled' one of these things for the g/f's daughter - it had an 's' shaped rear
wheel (Mallet, feet, hands, fists then a bit of spoke key work to make it a 'viable' wheel - got
twisted 'thudding' off a curb), one brake block mounted near 90 degrees to the front rim, the others
all over the place, and the 'mech' limit screws all farted up, loose headset (etsuckingfetera!). It
is nearly new.....
