It's bright orange and very simple £80.
Frame is made in Italy.
Linky please
Can't see it on their website, Linky?
glad it's not just me
thought i was being thick!
I spotted one yesterday. Look good for the cash. Not on their website though.
At that price even I would be tempted to try SS 😈
or have we missed a joke?
either way a cheap SS would be quite useful to me...
No it is not on website, but in store. They had a rack of about 15. Will take pic next week and post up. But it is a basic £80 bike. I did the classic finger nail flick down the tubes and they sounded rather solid! Had an oval downtube, round top and seat tube. Rear drop outs were at 45' angle to allow tension with SS . Screw on freewheel . Threaded fork i think .
Looked a good pub or almost disposable bike.
It is on their French website, under Cycle, then VTT loisir.
It is called the Vitamin and cost 79.90 euros.
I hope it helps.

Zut alors - trop lente! 🙂
from the description above it sounds like I could get a similarly shite bike from Asda or Tesco for £50-ish...
25 seconds dammit!!!
😐
😀
It looks like a Halfords special, but made SS. Hi tensile steel frame and fork, personally I'd stick to an SS conversion over that any day.
Make a half decent shopping bike I suppose at least its no great loss if someone has away with it.

Aluminium rims, aluminium levers, branded steel pedals, metal V-brakes, 29lb. I'd be surprised if a £50 job from Tesco punches quite that high.
Typical 80 Euro's over in frogland suddenly becomes £80 here...
I'll pass today thanks...
Thought it ticked all the STW boxes 🙂
but not a bargain in my book .
Halfords voodoo cycle sale is much better.
Cross bike Limba now £350 was £700
bakor or something £375 was £600 ish.

So which bit of the page with the big orange "99 Euros" on it were you reading then?
Hmm, the headline [b]Product advantage[/b] is apparently [i]It was not easy to move![/i] according to the Google translation. My A-level French from *cough* years ago reckons that's not [i]quite[/i] what they're saying... 😀
Or, broadly, "it's never been so simple to move yourself" according to any reasonable translation.
looks alright, whats to-do 😯

The point I was making was that priced at £80 over here we are effectivly paying £10 more than our continental cousins for the same bit of tat... surely like for like it should be £70 in UK stores?
Although last night it was priced at 79.97 Euros online, followed the same link to the french site this morning and it's become 99 Euro's, Buy now! before the UK price becomes £100...
It looks absolutely gash, are you all on crack?

Where you see those please?
Friend of mine was looking at the Bokor the other week.
I would much rather see really cheap bikes like this rigid and singlespeed. Those crap "21 speed dual suspension" 'bikes' are too awful for words.
It looks absolutely gash, are you all on crack?
Indeed.
the sheffield store has loads of these in - for an around town bike they look awesome, and actually seem to have decent kit on. much better quality than cheapy halfords/tesco etc...
Snobs.....
I think that's a great round-town hack for the money, if you can persuade someone to avoid those £99 21-speed FS disasters i'm sure this would be far more fun to ride. I really like it.
It's probably no worse a bike than the one i first started off-roading on and i had a lot of fun on that cheap Raleigh, it got me hooked in the first place despite being bought for more general use. If bikes like this do that for others now then it's all good.
For the price, the only thing i don't like the look of is the threaded headset. If it was a threadless job i might treat myself.
looks like a decent station bike
Lakeside
It's off-topic, but for the person asking about cheap Voodoo, they've got some in Halfords in Twickenham.
Cheers Aidan, I'll pass it on.
they used to do some great looking town/station/pub bikes, back in 2004 they did some his'n'hers pastel blue and pastel pink bikes, the blue one looked (superficialy) like any other, much more expensive, steel hardtail.
much nicer than £60-£99 full suspension bikes covered in 100's of stickers

According to Google's conversion 99 Euros is £85.67, so that's a win by a couple of pints. Or a bottle of rouge and a baguette if you prefer.
So it this available to buy in the UK?
Yeah they've got them in the Canada Water store in London Town.
They're not light by any means, but they'd sure serve a purpose.
They also do a mad commuter bike with a 8 or 9 speed cassette, single chain ring and a altus 3 speed hub, 24/27 speed with on chain ring 😆
sounds ideal for a 7mile commute
Screw the commute sounds the ideal town bike for Morzine this Summer.

Aaagrh thread necro! I got excited at the prospect of a Voodoo Limba for 350 quid...</puts wallet down>
