From: Wherever good bikes are sold

Bikes: Thylacines...only Thylacines.

Yeah, sorry about the rant before. No idea what I was thinking Anyway, nothing I say is going to stop people from thinking C40's are the best bikes ever, or whatever, so I'll shaddap now. Although if I was going to name a bike, the word 'Dogma' wouldn't even be on the list. Maybe they're trying to be ironic?

In terms of the Scapins, 531, top tubes are way too short. Even on their XL frame I'd have to run a 155mm stem to even be vagely in the same position as I am on my bike. 585 top tube on their biggest size?? It's a joke. The S8 is a little better, but a 72.5 degree head angle with a 44 rake fork wouldn't handle well. I'd prefer a 48-50mm rake with those numbers. It shˇts me that companies take short cuts like this, and the only reason they do so is because they think that punters won't notice and they're rather save the money and inventory woes.

Anyway, I agree Hewitt is a bogan, and I know bugger all about cars. Except most modern cars look the same, and I have no idea what BMW is trying to accomplish with they're new 'look'. Still not sure about that 'Magnum PI' Ferrari either.
