You get me wrong. I'm not suggesting it benefits anyone to ride a dangerous bike. I'd certainly never recommend one. As I said before I can't speak for other brands, but on the evidence I saw the No Logo bikes aren't dangerous. If anything they seem engineered a bit on the side of solidity. That brake cable faux pas in the picture earlier in the thread is a bit alarming, but it could well have been a bike hastily assembled by a photographer, I don't know. The bulk of their bikes are sold via independent shops, so ultimately it would be up to them to make sure they're properly assembled. It's quite a strong statement to say, categorically, that a brand of bike is "dangerous". Is there any evidence to back this up, other than that they a/ cost £270 and b/ are made in China?
