Still available, quelle surprise.

Didn't that bike win BoTM last month?

Not that I recall, no. And if it did perhaps that means there hope for all those who'd chose to specify over long suspension parts on their bikes.

This used to be a dream bike of mine.... now a nightmare I want to forget.......

I kind of feel sorry for it, it's still bike under there somewhere....... Is there a MTB equivalent to the RSPCA in Canada?

Is anyone brave enough to send him a message and suggest, politely, that his creation is an abomination to any sense of taste? I wonder if he could take some constructive critique - nothing personal you understand?

hahahaha!! i bet if you did you would get some serious abuse back :?:

Someone has given him the link to the thread so I suppose the door is open for him to take a look for himself.
You never know, he might be enlightened by the experience......

Well on the bottom of the eBay link, a member does hint at the talk going on with his bike. But I do seem to notice a direct correlation in the decrease in taste with an increase in personal earnings. It’s a shame really.

i was that man

i did mail him the last time it was listed - i could not stand seeing the abomination each time i had a look for a Klein ! I think i was polite, suggesting he reduced the price so some one would buy it so i did not have to look at it any more. He suggested i stick a pencil in my eyes as an alternative !!! If it does not sell soon i am considering it and have sharpened a pencil ready !!

i don't get it, why you all faulting his build? he's kept consistent with his colours and themes? what more do you want from the guy? :roll:
