Some idiot has bid on that giant!

Thanks for posting, I bagged this for £5.50. I live locally, going to pick it up tomorrow. No idea what I'm going to do with it, I have a 5 year old boy and a short wife. It's definitely too small for the boy and my wife couldn't give a shit about bikes...

The secret is in the riding position, i.e.

5' 7" - Soprano singer
6' 4" - Monkey fucking a football

Flip Flop dual rear hub (in a very fetching gold finish) gives you the option of fixed gear, if you are feeling keen, and don't like to put your feet on the ground at traffic lights, or a single speed freewheel if you don't like having pedals hit you in the back of the leg when you slow down.

anyone else having troubles with their pedals?
makes you wonder.

-.- what a retard, how the fuck does he stop? puts his feet down on the ground -.- what a douche

Firmer and lighter than the vintage raleigh frame which seem to be popular among cycle couriers and messenger etc
-.-

Narrow gauge tires along with the aero deep v rims provide a very low rolling resistance, and by dumping the dérailleur, you can save weight and a significant amount of pedalling effort (since the chain does not have to pass through all those superfluous sprockets.)

WAC does he not under stand how gears work. . . fucking mongaloid

However, it is not much crack at serious hills, so if you live in Cumbria, I would give this one a miss, unless you are a velodrome fiend!
if you went to a velodrome with this, well. . .

£280 - makes me lose faith in humanity really

Farm gate umm I mean large bike, Youngs of Lewisham. Might be nice.

Esoteric stuff: 3-speed Regina freewheel

I like that, does that represent a quality, good value purchase?

Edit- only £280, that's a bargain, will it go much higher?

Got to admire the salemanship of the chap though.
