What puts you off a bike/frame?

[guybe]

Simple, just 3 things that put me off:-

1. disc brakes
2. long front suspension forks and rear frame suspension
3. all the latest bike's is in black colour, how boring and dull!

Put them 3 together and you will have a motobike looking bike!

Bring back the ano colours please and keep the bike's simple and tidy

So you dont want to buy my Brooklyn then?

arrrrrrhhhhhh! btw something is missing there, where is the engine?

no hard feelings, take this as a joke

It took two weeks (tinkering during works time!) to get the old King steelset headset out-and I ended up making two pullers for the swingarm pivot-the first broke. Nightmare frames to strip down.



Guybe,

"no hard feelings, take this as a joke" no worries-it is a bloody daft bike!

Brooklyn used to have some swingarm stickers that said 'If you ask where the motor is-I'll punch you in the face' !!!!!!!

Is that a home gym?

Downhill specific bikes (the bastard offspring of real mountain bikes).

29er's

Although functional there is nothing more stupid looking.

Is that a home gym?

...only going uphill, I imagine.

I like my bikes in all shapes, sizes, and colors...just have things where they are suppose to be....no bar ends facing skyward or seatposts sunken all the way int the frame with the seat setting on the top tube- it isn't a road bike :roll:

-A water bottle boss right where you should put the band of a " conventional " ( read as " normal " ) front mech.

-Hardtails whose geometry only accept 150mm forks ( I'm not that clumsy! )

-Intergrated, semi-intergrated, integral ( WHATEVER!! ) headset arrangements.

-Formula one " cigarette pack " graphics.

interesting to see the level of shared distain for triple triangle GT's, I always thought I was part of a much smaller group of haters
