Is there something strange about this bike?

I know it's cheap but.......

It was built by a monkey, bar/lever positions make it look odd. Apparently the brakes are broken as well.........

Lol! I love the way no-one has questioned it..

Surely within that lot there'd be someone who has seen a bike before, and would recognise that as wrong?

Hmm... It might be handy for commuting into London traffic! Apparently it's only 21cm wide when assembled, so those bars should fit through the narrowest of gaps!

Those must be tiny peddles if it's only 21cm wide.

Depends on use.

Tesco obviously believe in it.

Expect it to fall to bits at the whiff of an incline. And last around 6 weeks if you your lucky enough not to see one.

Looks like someone has mounted MTB shifters to the tops of the bars ????

It's the sort of item that puts people of cycling.

That's what's commonly known as a BSO or a bicycle shaped object. Also to be found at sports direct, argos etc... Terrible.

In its defence, I expect it's better than my first road bike from 1975. I paid more than that in 75 as well!

What the actual f@&k?!

I agree. People think I'll have a go at this biking malarky and buy a turd like this and it will always leave a nasty taste in your mouth. They only need to spend around £250 or so to get something that resembles a bike a bit more and off you go. Upgrading bikes as you improve.
