Have Apollo finally made a bike you can do something with?

Not a million miles away from an LTS, early FSR or a Sintesi it has to be said...

{Apollo Vendetta}(Yes but I know an Apollo is still an Apollo.... polish a turd 'n all...)

Reminds me of a Cannondale Scalpel....

Another custom Apollo here

Not a bad effort considering the start point is a BSO

I'd not spend/waste (delete as appropriate) my cash seeing if you could polish a turd/BSO (delete as appropriate) though as the money spent on doing it up could have bought a half decent bike in the first place.

I like it.

If you have the bits already excluding frame then why not?

Reading the Bike radar thread it says that Merida made this style of bike for Apollo amongst others.

I know any manufacturer can bodge a frame together but .......

Will be keeping an eye one for one now

i have noticed apollo have upped their game a bit this year
still bolt on rear wheels though :roll:

and still no match for the carrera's
getting there though, slowly
tourney mechs are **** but work better than just shimano ones or shimano 'sis'

I found one!!
Should I really though... lol

If its cheap enough and you have room/parts/can be bothered as an experiment?

Dont expect it to be light though.
