To advertise it like that they are clueless enough not to have been responsible for setting it up like that in the first place. Which means there is an even less excusable retailer out there that is responsible for it. -- Tony "The best way I know of to win an argument is to start by being in the right." - Lord Hailsham |

Which means there is an even less excusable retailer out there that is responsible for it. It looks like a catalogue bike which would come requiring some assembly from the new owner. The same will be true for the next owner. The only way I'd touch it with a bargepole would be when its at the bottom of a canal. A very murky canal.

Some years ago I bought a mail order bike that arrived with the handlebars rotated through 90 degrees and, as I later discovered, the front fork rotated through 180 degrees. In my eagerness to take my shiny new toy for a quick spin I rotated the handlebars until they were pointing in the correct direction, tightened them up then leapt aboard. I was disappointed to discover that my feet kept on hitting the front wheel. It took me an embarrassingly long time (several seconds) to work out what was causing this. John 'clueless' Wilton |

On one of the weekends I was minding the LBS last year, someone came in with one like that. What can one say? On the one in the picture, it's clear that the front reflector is fouling the downtube, which you'd think would be some kind of clue. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ 'Victories are not solutions.' ;; John Hume, Northern Irish politician, on Radio Scotland 1/2/95 ;; Nobel Peace Prize laureate 1998; few have deserved it so much |
