You ever heard the saying "A face only a mother could love?" I haven't either. But if I had,I'm sure I could apply it somehow to this bike. It's ugly! No two ways about it. When I took it out the the trails this last weekend all of the "SERIOUS" bikers looked it and then me then back at it again in a kind of "You've got to be kidding!" sort of way. Oh how fun it was to pass them not minutes later on all the climbs as they click frantically through the vast array of gears on their "SERIOUS" biker bikes.
This is one of the dreaded Trek bonded frames that I've heard many a horror story about. Alot of folks on the bike forums claim that they can suddenly become un-bonded,if you know what I mean.
I bought the frame as a joke really. It was cheap,Plus,look at that puke green lettering! And I don't know if you can tell in this shitty photo, but printed on the top tube is the word ALUMINUM with mountains graphics in the background! No shit-ALUMINUM!! WAY COOL!!!!
Guess what? It rides like a dream. I couldn't believe it. It's light,fast and just soars trough the trails and flys up all the climbs. Man who needs suspension? Just had to share.

It looked good until I clicked on the photo to see the bigger one. You were right; it's one piece of shit!!! Especially the zoom in on the frame.... you must really hate yourself ride that thing.
Good on ya!
Piece of shit bikes simply rule. You don't expect anything from them, so you are always ready to be pleasantly surprised. I wish all life worked like that.
Yes I'm going to punish myself further by taking it out to the trails again tomorrow. But right now I'm going to put myself thorough hell on my crappy fixie! This way I can avoid fun at all costs. You know how we do! GZ
Man, that shit looks good to me.
