Just ride it until you have to throw it away and buy a new one.

That's essentially you're average rider here. Buys a shitty walmart bike, bring it to the shop, gets quoted at more than the value of the bike to repair it, leaves it out front of our shop and goes to get another one.

Lowlife bullshit.

There's an intermediary step where they walk around asking why each individual full-suspension bike is so expensive, and you ponder explaining the drop test to someone who was dropped as a child.

But but I can get it cheaper online?

Step 1: buy cheap bike online. Bonus points for hi ten fixie that weighs 15kgs but you could pick the colours.
Step 2: round out every bolt building it, grease things that shouldn't be greased. Bonus point for each degree of play in the headset
Step 3: bring it into shop to fix, end up spending as much as the damn thing cost in the first place again. Bonus points for "I have built it up, just needs checking over"
Step 4: repeat again a month later when everything wears out because it's cheap.
Step 5: profit?

you forgot my fav build step: ensure fork is on back to front

the amount I've been seeing with this set-up over the last few years is getting scarily more frequent as is the matching reversed helmet. usually students from the west pacific

I must have seen the bile story on the bike radar and they went o town on it also, mostly over not having mud guards

Call it "the mutt". First there was Lincoln logs, then Legos, and now this. Well done.

Ok, I thought the thread on FOX and RS damping units didn't match, apparently I was wrong...


Let's call it the Forkenstein.
