But maybe that's just wishful thinking.
If you want to rebuild something, no-one is gonna try to stop you
But a Raleigh Commando is of it's time, no worse than a Chopper or Grifter and a damn sight rarer
Not quite the same as what I'm talking about
- But gald you mentioned it as it helps frame my angle in this discussion
I'm talking about bikes that calim to be MTBs and are built with similar technologies and construction methods to a '70s leisure bike in the late '80s and even '90s!
And I'm saying folks should be open to critical observation and not chuck the toys out of the pram if they see some
But those ASDA bikes? Shouldn't be on the market now as LGF has said there are consumer information forums where dire warnings and horror experiences are posted in an effort to save people from them
Next time you go to a super market/Toys R us/garden centre take a very close look at that stuff
