sysuperfly Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I have to admit that this is the by far the strangest, most wierd, and deffinatly not going to make money, idea I've ever seen if it's that price. Well as one of the other posts said least it's new technology for the sport. Sy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, theres the cast dh frame made by the same people as Global bikes, they have only ever made two frames, but to get there its cost them £15,000!!
