Aston Martin MTB

That Factor thing's ludicrous.

Deliberately eschewing UCI regulations in order to focus on the riding experience

yet it weighs as much as a £1k winter training bike.

I think it looks lush I have a review of it in a mag somewhere. Despite it being a feature type review (an interview with the company etc) they weren't kind- too stiff IIRC.

That Q6S has such a nice and interesting front end, but the rear is just plain BSO nowadays.
However I still wouldn't mind finding one of those in my bike room.

A large amount of these whytes/bmws telever forks were initially created bu the inventor/engineer Norman Hossack which were later copied by many and in bmw's case..rather naughtely

Isn't that a Saxon front end?

The after

Hossack developed the suspension and bmw leased it from him for a few years before the patent expired and then they fitted it to a lot of the bikes cutting the inventor out completely

Both the Merc badged AMP B4 and the BMW badged Whyte were silly money at the dealers. I see AM is following suit.

but none of them can touch AMs latest:

Why does it need a 180mm front disc brake?

Why does it need a set of tyres - sadly they will never leave the garage....

the funniest bit is the computer, like a fat 50 year old banker needs to know his torque output.

lol
It would hang on the wall better if they don't supply it with a non-drive side pedal!
