(original thread title - "Comedy Start to New Project - Guess what it is...")

Now some of you might know what this is already - keep quiet if you do!!!

I had the start of my new bike delivered today at the office and it was quite amusing. Man did I get the mick taken out of me!!

So what do you think it is - a new frame or a mail order dog?

I go away from my desk for 2 mins and some joker puts this on it:

At least the amusement is keeping my mind off my bad back. I had to drug myself to sleep last night. :-(

Great thing is that I can put a lead on it and walk it to the car rather than carry it.

The shape of the box does give a very small clue about the frame.

I saw the pics of it before I bought it and I knew what colour it was.

However I did not realise how NEON PINK a frame could be until I opened this box.

BLIMEY!!

(pic really doesn't do it any justice!)

:-D

Apart from a frame which was full suss (which this isn't) I can't imagine a frame which is more opposite to a Zasker than this.

Designed in the same country though....
