while in wh smiths i noticed that the lates bike test was of a 5 grand sh%&&er. the custom buit p.o.s priced at 5 grand was easily the worst bike thats been in the bike test for years!! priced 1000 pounds more expensive than the best bike in the world!! and even after a ribbing the comic gave s an 8 out of 10................... well value 0/10 looks 0/10 performance according to the tested like a butchers bike so we can give it 3/10 in case a butcher buys it! so overall on average where is this 8/10 from . p.s who would have a bike fit after seeing that shocking sit up and beg position which is easily attained buy going to halfords and paying 99 pounds for a appollo bottom of the range crapper 5 speed with rst no worko's !!!! but all this aside i found out this information while having a 5 minute swat in wh smiths pps i bought a can of coke instead it was much cheaper and refreshing Laughing

They are good actually. I had one for years until someone drove into me, bust my kneecap, and bent the bike.

Always looked at Serotta as being the same level as Merlin. Great if you are a 40something looking for a bike for life, thats comfortable and not too thrilling, but not really relevant for serious race heads.

Pretty ugly thing though wasn't it?

But, I have to say, I thought the Bike fit lads did a good job on that chap, have you not seen his original position.....? Like something out of a horror movie!
