shite. :daumenhoch:

-
There frames where absolute bobbins. but the cranks where spot on they even ended up doing pinchless ones like profiles which where ok as well.

shiter than a shite thing with a pile of shite in it (and some broken glass sprinkled in)

I got given a fishbone gyro once. I didnt like how it looked so I didnt use it (very wide diameter all the way round). The cables it came with werent like normal gyro cables, they had a 3 cable pinch bolt deal that looked like the ones you could buy so you could make your own gyro cable at the right length. I thought that I might use the 3 cable pinch bolt deal so I could shorten my upper cable. When i took it apart to cut the lengths down it wasnt a pinch bolt at all, it was a block to hold 3 nipples. The cables were all made to length but werent fixed together, just bolted together. After all that I didnt even manage to get any use out of the pinchbolt.
I have somehow ended up with a fishbone chainring. I have no idea where it came from and its still got the header card on it. If anyone wants it, let me know.

I had a fishbone "blowfish" freecoaster a few years ago.
Weighed about the same as a small country, but it did work okay.
I got the impression a lot of their parts were generic taiwanese types that were just rebadged. The internals of their freecoaster were pretty much identical to the original oddy freecoaster and the ultimate hardware freecoaster (sealed version).

my eyeeeeesssss
what i REALLY hated about the mid-90s was the absolute DOGPOOPOO that these generic companies flung out to try and make some money as BMX was on the come-up again.
Endless CRAP issues of ride full of bike tests of reeaaaaaaaaaly bad bikes that were like £400 and you wouldn't even pay £90 in motorworld for them these days.
The fishbone frame with the gusset like a windjammer frame plate (remember them, i think trevor cowell milked them) was the trough of egregiousness!!!!!!!!!
UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......
i hope no-one who thinks they've uncovered a stockpile of midschool gem parts gets upset.. but unless to be perfectly honest it isn't standard, s&m (at a push) hoffman or for rarity value like early homeless or something, then take it down the tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Egregiousness!!! :2funny:
-
well that kinda covers all the angles :LolLolLolLol:

i thank you, goodnight
(had parent's evening tonight, 2 hours of being "nice" about people's kids, you have to go vent somewhere) :-X

It's weird as i've heard that word twice in one week! I heard it on the Russell Brand podcast (no really it's good!) and now here!

The Russell Brand podcast it great. shame its only once a week. All I listen to now is that and KATG podcast, which is an hour a day so I struggle to get through it all.

egregious is such a good word.. an insult that sounds like it's a total compliment
eg "hey endemol, the new BB series is egregious"
endemol "why thank you"
what is KATG alex??

what is KATG alex??
The song at the begining of every show goes
"Hey all you arseholes come and listen to us, its the Kieth and the Girl show"
Talk radio with no censorship cos its a podcast done from their house in NY. Its been going for about 2 years and they have just got to the stage where they can give up a day job. Funny chat, intresting views, frank talk. Very good.
Just do a google search and find their site or find the podcast through I-tunes (for free)

ah i see... back on topic.. anyone else get a hernia just looking at that fishbone set-up?? strap on some manly 95s eh. ooohh that would be lovely..
