there was a young hipster from stoke
who wanted to buy arrowspoke
blb gave him a holla
he paid fiddy dorrah
but he fucked up his face when it broke...there was a sad man on a forum
who wanted people to adore 'im
thought he was slick
in fact was a prick
made an alias cos people ignored 'imi made a bike called a pengy
also like to dance the merengue
it wasnt a joke
but then my heart broke
when they shouted "its as ugly as ferengi" -

fuck it mate, if you like it, keep it. my winter bike its a monster looker and when i ride in london i get the harshest looks but whatever, the muguards keep me dry, the disk brake stops me in the wet and the 81" gear rolls quicker than most (even if i have to stop once ive overtaken to check my A-Z). if you are happy on it, keep it and enjoy. just know you'll get stick. but IMO that isnt good enough reason to change a bike.
oh hang on, what size is it and can it do bar spins if the brakes come off??

@ned and rosmal.....
people hate on low quality stuff because ultimately it can be dangerous, gives people the wrong idea about what bikes should be like and mostly, its unneccesary. while i appreciate that not everyone can afford expensive stuff, there are a lot of people on here you can verify that that its possible to build a decent quality bike with good bits for the same price as the unipack for example. it annoys and offends me that companies can make good cheap bikes that arent scarey or badly made with half assed components, but they dont seem to do it. and as consumers (beginners, broke or less well informed etc) it can be hard to tell the good from the bad. really i dont care what people ride, i dont have to like it, and there are a hell of more expensive bikes out there that i also dont like.. but people riding is good, as long as they arent an idiot.
as for the comment about being a nervous rider; well the junction i saw you at, with your girlfriend maybe,was a dodgy one. drivers cut it all the time and then haul on the brakes in their cars, basically driving badly. so sorry about that, its easy to have your rhythm thrown on that corner and thats prolly what i saw.
otherwise, welcom to the forum and maybe next time i see you in a unipack shocker...i'll shout hello.
