Warum ich die Briten mag - Zitat aus dem Eurobike-review der singletrackworld.
"...The bike you ride next year will weigh less than 14lbs, fully suspended, be matt black and gold and will have lots of carbon bits on it. It will move at least four inches up and down, but you won’t notice it. You’ll ride it wearing a gold helmet, silver shorts, a breathable, yet waterproof, fleecy soft-shell and you’ll go fast – or rather, you’ll be on a 9.5in pink, full suspension, non-bobbing monster with green forks, your saddle will have a moulded grip on it for seatgrabs and supermans (supermen?) and you’ll be proudly wearing a tartan rucksack that holds your burly pads. Your helmet will be a full face, carbon job in matt black (natch).
Alternatively, you’ll be riding over hill and dale on a bike with at least six inches of travel, carbon stuff somewhere or other (probably your rack mounts), a tiny GPS will talk to your heart monitor and take you up steeper hills if you’re not trying hard enough. You’ll have 14 speeds from your internal gearing, you’ll have headtube suspension and clever suspension that won’t work outside the pub when other people sit on your bike.
Alternatively, you’ll ride on the road and your bike will weigh a bit less than 8lbs. It’ll probably be matt black too…..."
