    Funny - you come across as at least 28..
    If you were a couple of years younger, you'd be half my age, roughly.

    Define 'kids' 🙂

    Those who find anagrams of bike names that contain words like "[censored]"
    amusing... 🙂

    That about covers 95% of the population here (the male population, at


    least...)

    Steve "the other 5%.."

    My dad thinks the word [censored] is funny and he's 60.

    Steve - remembers lusting after a purple Kili Flyer...

    I don't have to remember. Just got back from riding trails in Devon on a
    1994 model. But its green.

    Nowadays they make bikes for paperboys who want to impress other paperboys.

    Wisdom, that is ;-P)

    You've seen me ride a bike then. Like Wisdom on wheels - a reckless
    abandon for personal safety, no co-ordination and frequently taking
    tumbles 🙂

    BTW, I am but a mere slip of a boy, at the tender age of 27.

    I think I'm more of a Fred Scuttle.

    Andy Chequer also 27

    Hey, as you can see from my pictures, that's my chest size in inches (when
    using wide bars). I'm 35 years of age, hackshirley.

    Ok, firstly 'arsehat' is a term that is usually used as an insulting


    term

    in reference to a person. I just like the word, however, and thought an
    adequate way to describe said Saracen.

    So, saying Saracen's suckm smelly squid?!?

    Do they? Are they rubbish bikes? I can get the Traverse for £150
    reduced from £250, otherwise I'll have to spend around £250. I don't
    want to spend more than that. Don't want suspension particularly.
    What do you recommend?

    From what I've seen, overly heavy lumps of inattention to quality.

    a derogatory way, but (and this is the comedy genius bit), 'arsecan' is
    also an anagram of Saracen.

    It's also, I believe, what AC calls his Saracen bike isn't it?!?

    I'm talking to kids aren't I?

    What you do on your own time is your business.
