Bikes like marmite?

Kona - for all the hardcore image why could they never take a tyre larger than 2.1, and that rear brake thing round the seatpost was always crap.

Running 2.2's on my 92 explosif at the moment...?

My '98 Stab was running 2.3 Tiogas when I had it :wink:
 
Is that complete?

My biggest hate? Has to the GT-STS-LOBO :evil:

I love GT's, period......buuuut I am with you on this.

Fugly

Personally, I like it :twisted:
Is that frame complete? I've not seen one before but it appears to have nothing attached to the top of the shock? I'm confused...

It's a pull shock. Some Yeti's have/had them. Someone on here will tell you the model but I think it was the Yeti Lawwill DH8.
 
I hate all GTs, the triple triangle has no benefit whatsoever and is just a marketing gimmick, in fact I think I saw an article in MBAction BITD that proved that the triple triangle design was three times heavier than a standard frame and half as stiff. It went on to prove that the design causes infertility in its riders.

Konas eat poo, especially the splatter painted ones. I know for a fact that the extra paint involved weight 7 times more than a normal paintjob and the extra lead in the extra paint causes brain tumors.

XTR M900 sucks the fat one, its too light, too pretty and too expensive. All bikes should have Deore at best, in fact all bikes should be singlespeed....

...Bikes with gears are for wimps. Real men ride singlespeeds and if you don't have one, you're probably a purveyor of man love. Its a fact that riding singlespeeds makes you a better lover. Scientists have proven that men with knees that click when they bend over are more sexually attractive to women.

Lightweight bike components are for girls who need lighter bikes because they have no leg muscles. Real bikes are made out of steel. Steel is real. Steel might rust and need a layer of heavy paint over it to stop it falling apart but that doesn't matter because thats what the first bikes were made out of and thats what bikes should continue to be made from... Progress is bad. Fear change.

Best entry yet!
 
It seems a number of resident GT obsesives dislike the STS Lobo, personally I think The STS (lobo and normal STS) are the only decent looking GTS.

Im with the burn the tripple triangle designs crowd i'm affraid.
