I saw an ad for this on Gumtree...once seen cannot be unseen arrrrgh.

Bargain £95

Seen one of those before. Still just as hideous as the first time around.

That’s awful & must weigh a ton….

Raleigh had several 'wonderful' designs . I had a Raleigh Max Lite (the same as the picture) recently and it was interesting to say the least. I liked it but then I'm a weirdo

This hardtail version has potential to be a neat pub bike with a full frame media blasting, some moto style handlebars with BMX stem and WTB ThickSlick tires. Might as well weld a cup holder to the frame while at it

OMG!!! I might have to report this thread due to explicit content! It’s like a disturbing orgy of tubes that has made me physically sick just looking at it!

I can’t believe a design team signed this bike off for production…

Lol
I almost bought a frame of ebay a couple of weeks ago for £40, was gonna stick a pair of 888s on it, its so ugly it kinda looks good, the pug of the bike world
edit, the hardtail version

Make it out of carbon, fit 700c wheels, say it saves 23 watts at 50kph against the current class leading areo bike and then sell thousands……
