Nice stickers, shame about the bike

The pedals do it for me

It'll be on the bay any day now as 'rare vintage classic Cook Bros / Hope retro mounting bike'

Dude probably writes for MTB Pro magazine and has a Pro-Flex with Cook Bros cranks and Dia-Compe brakes at home that he could drop us all on riding our favorite trail once he was properly fueled by PowerBars.

This is just his P.O.S. commuter he doesn't care gets nicked chained to a sign in London.

PowerBars! Are they still made?

The originals were like chemically flavoured polystyrene, dreadful things.

I like the reflector on the back, angled, presumably, so that you can be seen by police helicopters.

In fairness to the owner, there isn't a lock available that's more effective than having a bike that's not worth stealing.

I have an old tool box with the same stickers on it, I guess they came free with MTB Pro at some point.

Yes. They have improved. Couldn't get any worse

I like the look of front tyre, looks like a half decent part somehow found it's wat on that bike at some point - shame it's almost flat

Whoever owns that is obviously a complete noob poorly fitted back wheel and that bike is so subpar if you look closely you can see the forks don't terminate in forged dropouts, no sir - That's far too expensive! The rarely seen technique of crushing the ends of the tubing then slotting that for the spindle is used instead

The absolute pinnacle of built to a price BSO engineering

The closest that should be getting to cycling is REcycling

 

[saulus]

Tis a BSO in stickered clothing.

its a townsend sotavento. and as for"extra" stickers bitd quiet often we'd sell them like that. the dodgy place where i worked back then as a youth would buy the returned / damaged stock from townsend or moore large or whoever to sell on as new. often the bikes would have scratches and damage that needed to be hidden so stickers would be carefully applied. the shimano on the downtube looks especially right for this.
