Sorry to turn your thread on its head Delirious5, but going to the other Extreme.
I was in a supermarket earlier "Aldi`s I think" and this years batch of Xmas "clunkers" were in store, now I know these are "Cycle`s from hell" most of which will be ridden a couple of times then discarded, but what amazes me is the price.
I thought last year was cheap! but £39.99 for an adult bike. my imediate reaction "how can they possibly create a cycle so inexpensive?..
