Ok - what is it - worst bike, worst frame, worst bars etc etc

for me, the worst bike I ever had was a Raleigh Burner. Sorry burner fans!
anyone else?

One piece cranks bitd, bent so many it would've been cheaper in the long run to buy a decent three piece...

And the KHE barbados complete i got for my son last xmas... what a pile of poo...

I spent more time fixing it than he spent riding it... gone now thank fook!

New DX's pile of poo....bearing fell to bits......

welsh denny · « **Reply #23 on:** December 22, 2008, 09:28 PM »

vincent airzone- broke in 6 places in 2 weeks.

1 piece cranks - broke too many bitd

old style seat guts- broke so many i used to go to halfauds & buy an aeroyal a month just for the seat guts and put em on the kashimax ( seat would go in the bin

then-

£££ now)

oh, and the original khe clamping forks... spent a fortune on diff stems to fit , making shims etc but gave up on after 6 months-

ps. forgot the burner- never broke it cos the geometry was so out that you couldn't do owt on em.....

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #24 on:** December 22, 2008, 09:48 PM »

mx 1000s - 900s work far better
hatta kongo - how fookin SHITE are they!
dx cable cutters, sorry, levers

oakley 3s - great for taking the skin off your thumbs
non "soft" tuff pads - not as good as the competition
anything hutch - overrated and chromophobic
shimano freewheels - oh how we were brainwashed as children
