His face is as funny as his bike, the poor kid showed up at bolehills this afternoon on his new bike, I was as diplomatic as possible, I said I would put it right if I could take a picture. 5 minutes with a 6mm key and he was learning to manual. :slayer:

And what brand was it? That's right, MAFIA.

He made it onto a BMX track, no mean feat nowadays
It's still better than 95% of the BMX bikes UK kids got in the 80s (not naming any names :angel:)

I did laugh though

Agreed, when a 75 degree head tube angle just isn't quick enough for you to dial in those knee jam stem picks you have to think outside your box. Bonus points for having the sense to put the bars forward so they're still in line with the forks :daumenhoch:
