worst designed bike ever?

[catf]

still off the point of the topic......whats the worst designed bike....not worst design theory!!!!

thats pretty much going to be the worst urt bike then isnt it. gary fisher joshua? its the one that all the bso/tesco bikes copied so its got a lot to answer for

or, i havnt ridden one but the design kona came up with that was a mix of urt and 4 bar link, bb/chainstay/dropout on one bar, then a swingarm to the shock. worst of both worlds? dunno maybe they ride great. doubt it.

actually almost forgot this

Even running a single speed is too much for this guy.

I bet this Cilo was quite sweet if you took the bolt on cruds off each end to bring the wheelbase back under 7 feet.

The guy who raced it did ok on it.

I think the bike he raced the next season was a bit whacked, though.

At least this one had good o'le fashioned conventional telescopic forks on it.

I can't disagree with you re the weight but I loved my Grifter, totally indestructible!!!

Yep, if there were ever a nuclear war, Grifters and Choppers would be the only bikes to survive
