2009 Bikes - Bloody Nora!

Clearly my memo to bike companies teaching them that backward sloping top tubes (a la langster) are wrong got lost in the post.
Langster = bad
Fankgster = really, really bad, even if it does happen to be better looking than the langster, like the giant one.
The style is still incredibly awkward and looks like an ugly inbred child of bmx and a mountain bike that was only born with one gear and now it's parents dress it up in powder coating and hope the other kids won't pick on it.

Please write to Brian Rourke imploring him to never build another 853 frame with backward sloping top tube. They"re a waste of space, trust me ;)
