how is it standing up right on its own !!??

Porsche have yet to announce but I have it from a well reputed source that there is a gyroscope inside the main frame which is based on the one designed to counteract the revolutions experienced by the good Dr Ferdinand in his underground hideout when the Cayenne was announced as is mentioned elsewhere on this thread.

I can achieve the same effect as spending 5 grand "Porsche" bike for free by getting a soapbox and loudly telling passers by what an utter bellend I am.

Interesting write up. Interesting, equally, that such a thing exists!

I can't quite place who would buy it - or why - when you look at what you can get in the bike world for £5k

A bike, or 10 years gym membership? Hmmm....

But that's the point the article makes. The Porsche hasn't made its mind up what bike it is, whereas the one you've linked to is a dedicated, top of the range 2012 brand new road bike - it's as good as it gets in road bike terms (individual preference aside).

Evans have been sending me e-mails for 2 days now.

Gina and I are going to Lakeside.

Evans have an actual physical shop at Lakeside. Uh oh.

I'm sure I'd be able to push my ten stone ,twice as quick around Richmond park on my felt, which I'll add is a proper push bike not some jazzed up pretentious tosh bought by a Porsche owner lol,

I disagree. Though I don't like the bike itself, it's by Porsche, it's on a website where there's a surprisingly high cross over of people with both hobbies (yourself included, I assume), so why on earth not?

There's not going to be a great deal of new car releases or car shows on 27th December, so something light and relevant, but a little different, fits the bill perfectly for me.

Disk brakes have pistons.

It's not even that. The tyres are far from ok for a mountain bike and it has no suspension.
