Yeah, definately no open laughing at the folks that buy these, at least they're on 2 wheels (it'll not be the stockbroker set...more likely middle-aged-quadrophenia-mod-types with a parker and a squirrels tail hanging from the saddle!).
I'm concerned about the brake position issue and will keep an eye out to make sure none are draughting me.....some falls are gonna be made.
I'm probably your typical non-mechanical-type to buy an off-the-peg....looking at the range of ss/fg now available from the likes of Evans I'd still most likely get standard Langster, but at least the London "Wrongster" makes the Charge Plug (http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=71373) look credible. I predict "Wrongster" sales will be v.low and am slightly tempted to buy one, hide it in the garage for 10 years before cashing in on a rarity (like my 2 original choppers buried somewhere back yonder!!).
