All Griff's are gold!
I amazed that peoplespend thousands on these super light carbon fibre framed things with super slick gear changers and super skinny seats (but padded @rse shorts that looks like a nappy!) and super skinny wheels and tyres and there's still no motor...crazy!
Certainly not the case with Chinese spanner versus a quality brand Mark.Bit like women who spend thousands on handbags when a Tesco's 5p one does the same job.
Bikes are like handbags...you spend all that money thinking you're getting a high quality product but Louis Vuitton produce them for £100 and sell them for £3000. Your 'A list celeb' get given them to make the statement of 'you need this'. 'Mrs Hello Reader' buys it thinking that they look great, when everyone else thinks that they're a mug for spending so much on something produced cheaply. It's the same with Maserati (C-Tek) Car chargers...a Lidl one will do...Bit like women who spend thousands on handbags when a Tesco's 5p one does the same job.
Herin lies the difference; a quality product should cost more but sometimes people think expensive equals quality not the otherway round.Certainly not the case with Chinese spanner versus a quality brand Mark.

but if you're trying to keep fit then surely a rusty nail is betterI beg to differ, bikes certainly aren't like handbags. You try riding a Boris bike up hill verses my bike which weighs 8.25kg.
Yes they both do the same job. But mine does it quicker.
Bit like cars really.

I totally agree!Bloody cyclists are the cholesterol of the road network. Lycra clad, fat tw4ts, riding 3 abreast and blocking the roads shouldn't be allowed. You shouldn't have to endure a fat ar5e, with a sweaty crack, in your eyeline for 5 miles at 10mph. It's an afront to basic human rights and anyone guilty of it such end their days bleeding in a sh!t filled ditch.
As 3 time Tour de France winner Greg Lomond once said "it never gets easier, you just go faster"
Ah, but do you ride a bike to race, or keep fit.I beg to differ, bikes certainly aren't like handbags. You try riding a Boris bike up hill verses my bike which weighs 8.25kg.

Yep. I had a Chopper (oerrr!!). My first bike 5 pounds second hand.
Raleigh Burner - surely?Why did you paint your Grifter gold?
