Because we are in the “bike industry” we tend to get a lot of junk email
from companies trying to sell up their latest bikes or bits.
We got this one this morning and… we thought you should really see. We
just could not stop laughing! and to think this is a serious mail

hi
the site doesnt seem to be working at the moment.
just wondering, do you have any idea when my order should be arriving? (manic_mark@hotmail.com) i ordered most of a Nimbus 2, with a UDC wheel. You said you hoped to finish building the wheel last week?
That shaft drive looks interesting.
whoah, trippy! I think you’d get just as many looks with one of those, heh.
The second one with the gold seat looks very comfortable…Yikes!
whats so funny about it?
maybe i just missed the joke.
all of them are old designs from one company or another - I’ve even seen the snow-bike before somewhere.
Whilst we’re off topic (ish) check out the HURT video at:
http://community-2.webtv.net/S92237/JOHNNYCASHCHARTNEWS/
What an amazing version of a cool song.
Yes me to…
Is it funny that they did’nt master english as good as you mastered their native language? Or is it a different opinion in bike-building?
What I sure think is stupid -but that aint funny- is that poeple think mailings like this are good marketing.
I think the bikes are very interesting. The very 1st one reminds me (even the color) to Greame Obree. And I remember in the begining poeple were laughing about him to…?
Re: Junk mail
What is so funny…
Where do you start.
Just have a look at the bikes, not one of them is right, they are
mechanically bad, they are aesthetically awful, presented in such a way to
make them look even worse. Check out the race with the straight handle
bars, the ladies bike with box section frame clagged on, the trails bike
that looks like it has already had an accident, the angles and clearances of
the yellow bike… it is just every bike is wrong. Well… it amused me and
Miark.
I have to confess I missed the spelling etc. But that is me.
Cheers
Roger

Yeah! The gold seat looks very comfortable too. It might matches the bike but… What about our Unicycles too. May look nice on my Unicycle, don’t know about anyone agree with me on that subject.

It may just be me but who would want that snow bike tethered to themselves (note tie on cable)? Though I wouldn’t mind trying it, I wouldn’t want to be hit by it after a fall.
Re: Re: Junk mail
Many proffesionals have a race-bike with such.
I’ve even met Miguel Indurains brother on a bike like that…
Hey, about handlebars… it just what you prefer or believe in:
that spagethi-handlebar that made in 1989 the 8 second difference between enfant terible Laurent Fignon and Greg LeMond…
Do you noweday still see any of these?
not very atractive (like 99% of the mass-market bikes), but
… its “chain”?
HA!!! give im a hug from me, have’nt met for tooooo long.
hope to see ya soon! (both!)
Re: Junk mail
Most people don’t realize that thin bike seats are far more comfortable than
really wide ones.
