It's like a funny bike, only it's tragically sad instead of funny.

i feel incredibly sorry for anyone who has ever evr ever spent money on an ALPHA or will spend money on an ALPHA- my heart goes out to you truly- its not your fault you didnt know the truth- yeah you got all talked up 'bout a beemer but rode home in a saturn

youd be better off taking a road frame and just beating the top tube down with a hammer than getting an alpha.

why does it really matter, though. If you want to ride an alpha ride an alpha. My friend's (with some upgrades) has held up to doing messenger work so it's not like the bikes explode the second you get in the saddle.

Though that would be an amusing flaw in a bike.

(no, I'm not advocating bikes as pipe bombs. The stickers are a joke! Really!)

hey, ride what you want. im just in the mood to poke fun at everything. (aka- im sobering up and im bored.)

i lost my brother to an alpha with an exploding upon weight in saddle problem.

i think our beef against these bikes is that you can get a better bike for the price. the components are garbage, and if youre trying to go that cheap, just get a decent road frame and a decent wheel set, some single speed chainring bolts, and a cog/lockring.

youre gonna spend under $250.
better bike, better components, less money.

and it wouldnt look like sloth went berserk and bent your bike.

OMG! LET IT DIE!!! Who brought this up again? JEEZ!!

It's funny, all the alpha bikes that I've seen in person have been really small- like 50-52 cm- do they make any larger sized bikes?

my thoughts exactly. i see those ****ing bikes everywhere, too.

When I was in DC, I didn't see any. It made me smile.

It's time for more travel.

ahh this thread is making me want an alpha frame more and more now. Maybe I'll have to stop in, complain about Trophy Bikes and Fuji for an hour and he'll sell me a discounted frame.

I like ugly bikes, I admit it. Which is not hard to tell due to my current schwinn world sport conversion with a mis-matched peugeot fork.
