Looks like a BMX to me, WTF is a "lifestyle" bike?!?

Wouldn't fancy using it as a BMX either.

Life style bike Oh what bullshit = poser bike. Not very friendly to the rain forests. A super stiff ride that will give.

Lifestyle = Play at doing something (i.e. not do it properly, warts and all)

e.g. Live in the country and complain that the roads are muddy and the farms smell.

Cycling: Buy Colnago C50 and all the kit, then ride in the park...or bike to keep in the hall or maybe ride to the nearest Starbucks.

It's horrible.

Yes. Yes it is.

A BMX in a coat? Weird Belgians! But then a 20 year old Yo with rigid forks and crappy brakes seems daft when more modern and more functional stuff is available.

:roll: :roll:

Although after further thought, if owning one attracts hipster chicks like the one pictured then maybe its not all bad. But then you'd have to put up with her quoting Neitzsche at you and moaning about your "unhip" mountain bikes. I'm so confused!!! :?

Check out 'renovobikes.com' for some Real wooden bikes.

Apparently they ride very nicely, -they're certainly well made.. :shock:

Classic bike frames are made of metal pipes, this limits the shape when designing a bike

Hmmm, they've clearly not seen some of the hydroformed stuff thats being made these days.
