Note there is no mention of how much it weighs.  Looks heavy with chunky spokes and disc brakes.

Made by tossers for tossers is my take.  What do the more knowledgeable people out there think?

Hey Hilljockey,

For that price I would expect the bike to pedal itself (as well as feeding me grapes while I watch it do my housework!).

When are you picking yours up??

I hope you don't understand the implication there...

HJ,

Someone should buy it, or a flock of them (Note to Dr Brad) so that everyone of these riders could whip Hadley in a Di2 race. Money well spent. HJ, you would possibly climb out of C (?) grade if you didn't read gthis dribble and rode your bike a little bit more (Note to Metro)

Sorry, Hilljockey. I should have taken the time to read that properly before I posted it.

There is no implication intended there.
Your reputation remains shining and untarnished.

Yours in contrition,

Ooo, a shiny reputation!  Ta.

Looks like the Ferret still does not know who I am, which is rather funny considering that a good percentage of forum posters do.
