Realists

Realism is the refuge of a pessimist, repeat after me

For ten bucks, I guess we'll have to find out.

Tyres and thumbies make it worth that much...

It's sold as a mountain bike because around 1986/7/8 this was the sort of thing that was made available for £99. Same as the Raleigh Mustang, various Falcons and apollos, the lowest of the low end.

But, heck it has chunky tyres, chunky grips and chunky bars so it must be an mtb because the bloke in the shop said it was

Pretty much this. My first mountain bike - an Emelle Silver Challenge - was very similar to this. Fun, but sometimes terrifying times - particularly in the wet in the hills of North Wales. I remember gripping the brake levers as hard as I could down one hill and still accelerating...

Can't wait for all of you unbelievers to be proven wrong

Or right, because I'll be sneaking out the backdoor as your gloating begins, crawling into the dumpster, starting the hydration process

Front light looks good for star gazing

I kinda like it. Don't put it next to a Ritchey Ascent or something. More of a simple commuter.

Where is that front derailleur cable coming from?

See lads, this is optimism, this is love of bikes.

You pessimists

Colour scheme is phenomenal
