Retro-ish expensive (new) bike on Brick Lane Bikes - who would buy this? Would you??

[ibbz]

Admittedly I bought my Venturi from BLB - but that was a fraction of the price of any of their Tracklocross Off Road Demons. And languishing in their vintage section

The Altus geared one is obviously a superior bike in all ways

WTF? looks like a see-saw

They didn't think the steel frame and big tyres were comfy enough, I guess

Basically right...

What, pray tell, is Tracklocross? Does it involve polyester trousers? If we're inventing new categories I'm going with Dunhill racing, don't even need a bike just a pack of 20 and decent lung capacity.

But who is at the other end?

'It's not less sketchy than riding with brakes and a freewheel, it's just a different way to ride. Free your mind and pedal, and then skid, and then keep pedalling. It's so easy.'

Hello, is that my lawyer? Yes, I bought a BLB SO-EZ and followed their 'so easy' advice....That's correct, I lost my two front teeth, fractured my skull, and look like the elephant man when it pitched me over the bars attempting stop down that mountain trail....What's that, sue them for all their worth? You f'kin betcha.
