I like it. As many people before have said it's a decent option if you want the Polo look off the peg. Compare this to 'your Dad at a disco' efforts from Spesh with the London/Boston/NY etc. Twatster. What would you have for 400 GN?
If I'd spent a bit of time perfecting that look via my own efforts I would be a bit sore that someone can just buy it off the peg. So I can understand some of the opinions previously stated. Yorgo and David make good points - the great thing about LFGSS is the lack of snobbery and the friendliness (and piss take) that goes with it. Let's not lose sight of that just because it's becoming a bit more popular.
The one worry I have with a brakeless bike that isn't pretending that its bound for the velodrome is the potential Daily Mail brakeless backlash-in-waiting. I trust they'll be sticking a front brake on when it goes into production?
