I'll submit this then, I put this and Project Dick together for less than £20* combined and gave both away *halo icon*!
Obviously this is only possible if the original bikes were destined for the tip otherwise!
* = cables, grips, tea bags
I'd describe Project Dick as a cross between late night 80's ITV student cooking show Get Stuffed, Carry on England, Pot Noodle, Fun House and Confessions of a Window Cleaner.
To be honest it makes me feel a little sick inside, the sort of sickness felt as a result of delirium through fever, head spinning madness that not even Lucozade, pink wafer biscuits and repeats of Columbo would solve.
I do however appreciate the value nature of this steed, so providing the new owner isn't of a weak constitution and doesn't look down at it and trip out it'll be a reet good ride and dump anywhere bike.
:shock:

For me Project Dick represents notions of Existential Absurdism.
In this context the notion of the Absurd contains the idea that there is no meaning to be found in the world beyond what meaning we give to it.
This meaninglessness also encompasses the amorality or "unfairness" of the world. This contrasts with "karmic" ways of thinking in which "bad things don't happen to good people"; to the world, metaphorically speaking, there is no such thing as a good person or a bad thing; what happens happens, and it may just as well happen to a "good" person as to a "bad" person.
Because of the world's absurdity, at any point in time, anything can happen to anyone, and a tragic event could plummet someone into direct confrontation with the Absurd.
That and it's got yellow stripey bits.
