Look, whilst I'm clearing up feathers, nobody was shitty, , I did simply say no joy.
Some of us have had the misfortune of servicing these bikes and it is no fun trying to explain the whys and whats when presented with one of these or its relatives and having to explain why the service cost was more than the bike purchase
flexy brakes, bendy chainset, cheap freewheels, furry cables, rear hubs that would either eat into the spokes or broke an axle, poorly assembled overall and just a cynical money making exercise - bikes bought in by the containerload, assembled by people who didnt care and bought by people who didnt know
<hugs emotional support chicken>
back in 2007 you had a far more intimidating time on joining this site, there were members who were so disgusted at the mere sight of a wrong facing Mavic label or tire logo, they set up their own website (true). But only after tearing the poor sod to shreds first.
Anyone caught applauding 200GS would have their pedals and saddle removed so they had to walk home - even on the internet! ILow end bike worshiping was all done via PM, shit if anyone had a 100GS or <hugs chicken tighter> 70GS, heck, the damn site imploded (we would blame the outage on yer another hi res picture of a Klein with a bright paint job)
