Argos BSO price madness

[legrandefromage]

Whilst on the throne, I was browsing through the latest Argos catalogue and literally pissed myself at the price and spec of these Reebok bikes:

£359 and the the rear mech still attaches to the back wheel!

surely one of those situations where they put it at a really high price for 1 month just so they can then put it down to £70 and say well the RRP is £359.99 :roll:

 

[orange71]

anyway, it's justified in this case as the forks are at least on the right way round

Bargain, just think you could be lumped with this crap from halfords

You see at halfords you need to spend £20 more to get the fashionable bent tubes

and we all know halfords will not build it correctly, so well worth finding it in parts in a box and doing it yourself...

Very good! Hate icon thingies but it would be a laughing (or p1ssing myself) one.

I tried to get a child's BSO working yesterday which isn't funny. Changing gear at the back altered the chain line so much it threw the chain off at the front.

Any ideas what to do?

Throw it away,,,,the parts will cost more than it would to buy another bso childs bike....sad but true :cry:
