Custom bike makers have two large wheels
One is labeled “mountain bike feature”
The other is “road bike feature”
They spin them when they need to make a new showcase frame
spinning both wheels furiously and they eventually come to a stop
“Errrrr…. Looks like we’re making a…. Um… drop bar bike….which is uhhh…. Suspension corrected”
This is then compounded when the customer wants to pay more, every extra £1000 you spend with them gives you an extra spin of one of the wheels
