Dat review....

When this bike first arrived, I got a few of my friends from the gym
to help me carry the box from my front porch to the living room, where
we unpacked it. 11 days later, after a few quick trips to the local
bike shop for a some extra screws, new calipers and cables and a new
bottom bracket, my baby was born.

It's hard for me to express just how much I adore the fine
craftsmanship and high quality components that went together into
making this bike. I call her Machete, because that's what it says on
the top tube and again on the seat tube where there is also a bitchen
picture of an actual machete-knife thingy. I suspect people are a
little bit intimidated to see a person riding on a bike called
Machete. They are always running behind saying, "Hey, something came
off your bike," or some such, trying to shake me up or throw me off my
game. But I ain't got time for that.

I don't have any complaints, but if I did have one it might be that
the head tube seems to be separating from the down tube above the
front fork, and kind of wiggles a bit. I'm not sure if that's bad or
not, but so far there have been no problems beyond a few cracked
spokes and a broken seat clamp and a snapped pedal. 5/5

Top binta.

Headtube separating. Not sure if bad.

Ow dear, Indra'd nominee right there :)

does that visp take the mantle from pengy

the king is dead long live the king

44lb shipping weight....

Is that a fucking kickstand?

They're really useful

True. You wouldn't want a 30lb bike toppling over on you.

What amazes me is that someone has actually been paid to design those graphics, that frame and put it all together.

I actually can't look at it without giving a smirk, aero wheels and a kick-stand is so wrong it almost goes all the way round to being a right.

I like the addition of cross top levers because the drop levers are impossible to reach.

I really don't understand how a bike can be designed and made, presumably by a team of people, but then set up with the levers like that. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Perhaps someone can explain what I'm missing.

yeah it might dent the road.

The Turd will not polish.

^ Hai custom baik shop, can I have 2 sizes too big please? ktxbye

And now look what's showing up in my fb ads. Cheers guys, I'm now subliminally persuaded to buy this thing to conquer the Kalamunda 100.

Edit: Just realised...14 gears?! FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU

Aside from the tape, bars and post which look like tumours, it's alright.

edit: and stem*

The BB looks unusually low?

...and wheel decals, flat tyres and lightweight pedals.

I don't think the wheels that bad

Wheels aren't that bad but I do agree with the cancerous cockpit and seatpost.
