If they expect me to spend what a small car costs on a bicycle, my expectation will be proportionate.
My experience is with motorcycles more than cars but if your plastic bike was as woefully poorly toleranced as the motorbikes I’ve worked on then your bottom bracket wouldn’t creak, it wouldn’t even turn under the power you are delivering to it.
What a load of crap! That certainly is not how these bikes are marketed! If they expect me to spend what a small car costs on a bicycle, my expectation will be proportionate. Most commentators out there only fawn all over these over-hyped, over-priced heaps of shit without any objectivity at all. My wallet is grateful there’s a Hambini in the world, preventing me from getting gobbled up by some multi-national marketing campaign.
