Know this bloke from a bike mag he had it on test, went out last night for a bit of a dog ride and he let me have a go on it.
It was a hard tail, quite well spec'd, it was a meriva or merida, some dutch brand I'd never heard of.
Soon as I got on it, the dog goes mental, barking, jumping about, I immediately started to feel strangely drawn to the sweeping curves of my pals ample buttocks, felt I was incorrectly dressed in my baggies and wondered should I try with something more smooth, and tight fitting.
The bike actually didn't feel a lot different than my own, I still felt like I was 'on' it rather than 'in' it as folk had said I would, I couldn't stay on it, the dog wouldn't let me and I was begining to sprout moobs and felt my manties were in need of adjustment so my budgie could be more pronounced.
I shan't be trying it again, he on the other hand cycled like a mad thing trying to prove this bike was the best thing since a reverb (which it didn't have) there again he had to once I let the dog off the lead he kept trying to take chunks out of it, (he hates effeminate men).
And he had his light on the top of his head like a cross between torchie the battery boy and tin-tin, some folk don't care what they look like.
So I'm not impressed, it's Industry hype in my mind, and he's fallen for it and the call of the advertising buck.
