They love the Bianchi Pista, knock the Langster, laugh at the Condor Paris, think the standard Condor Classic is pretty nice and then throw some daft bike in at the end.
All of the cyclists are in full lycra, helmets, etc. Photos clearly taken laying on their sides and pulling faces as if they're jumping and having the time of their lives.
The column/blurb was mostly complimentary saying how some cycle purists were going back to basics, how it's not for everyone and how some go the whole way (have a death wish) and ride without brakes (though mentioning it's illegal). The last couple of lines mentioned it wasn't like buying into any other trend as this really was for experienced cyclists.
Not bad considering it's The Mail on Sunday. Not bad at all really. If it has to happen that's the kind of accessible way that is just about forgiveable.
I did find it strange that they would rate the Pista above the Langster given their readership though. You'd think keeping their readership alive would factor in somehow and being able to later attack brakeless riders without having recommended a track bike for the road would also factor in.
I'll post it later this evening when I'm back at home.
Oh, and the writer was Tom Bailey I think. I'll double check later.

Mail on sunday riders wouldn't be seen dead near a non-steel bike. Aluminium is foreign, and increases house prices.
