Those spikey things at the seatstay/seat tube junction would be fun if you slipped off the back of the saddle as you fell off...

[edit] they do have some nice bikes on that site - the Burgers one look good.

Not sure which is worse - the frame or that late 80s Raleigh Mustang paintjob.

I like the idea of a totally maintenence free bike until your pads need changing - but can't help thinking belt drive is a much better proposition. And a sensible frame instead of that gopping thing. They've made it short to be manoevrable but I do wonder how you'd ever make any kind of rapid progress on it. And why such small wheels? It's not a folder!
