My local Tesco

appears to have a bike assembly area, what *is* the world coming to???

Surely a Bicycle Shaped Object assembly area ?

All those must be pre-assembled, the forks are all the right way round.

Oh I dunno, those kids bikes on the left look fit for purpose

BTW what is it with quill stems on all the MTB's and the racer?

I checked them all as I walked past, and the others on display in the main shop. I must be getting anal

They are a bit cheaper than ahead stems. Where's the racer in the pic?

Look at the middle of the front wheel of the middle bike at the back and you can see a set of drops.

Wow! A £400 bike with 10 on the back, what is the world coming to?!

And the one in the pic is HERE

Blimey what is the world of BSO's coming too

Actually that one doesn't look that bad for a single speed conversion candidate

Well, they could have fitted a single freewheel, painted it some lurid pastel colour, knock it out for about £120, skinny trousered students would lap 'em up

I'm not sure who weighed those bikes though, the £400 one is 17.5kg, whereas the £150 is 14.5kg

You're obviously getting more metal for your money ;-)

I read that too - surely that's impossible?

I like the descriptions "Front Brakes - Yes"

Ticks all the boxes.....

I can never spot the reverse forks in photos people post, so when I looked at the bikes on display in my local supermarket last week and spotted the obvious I was dead chuffed.... now that is sad
