It’s Friday, again.  So in a groundhog day sort of way let’s peruse the Fresh Goods that have dropped at ST Towers this week…

*vomits faeces*
‘Foxy’ is an oxymoron surely. Had a Cube Stereo for three years with the shock in an apparently similarly stupid place and never had a problem; even caking it with the granite grit off Dartmoor.
i’ve seen brakes low for the whole “elbows up” look but someone is going straight over the bars on that mondraker. hopefully its filmed.
That Foxy looks like it’s designed to be ridden backwards in a circus…
Eugh. Zero Stems.
Looks the slaw jawed, inbred, ugly as sin distant cousin of a Mojo to me.
That Mondraker looks cheap, nasty and the front-end looks just looks awkward – I’m sure if rides we’ll but would I buy one…
Wow! I’m with you zaffer, those leavers are set up, no down, way to low. I would definitely change the bar as there appears to be way to much upsweep. I’m still tying to keep an open mind on the foxy though.
Could open a new thread on people who have there leavers really low. I see it as being similar to driving a car with one hand on the middle of the wheel, you might think you look good but you don’t have much control! Rant over.
The Mondraker looks like an A-Level project gone wrong!
Foxy my arse, complete abortion
