» Cheap Tat
Stupid, stupid, stupid
I tend to buy something unnecessary and gimmicky once every few months or so because I'm a man and don't seem able to say no (Wii, Gameboy Advance, Minidisc Player, Walkie Talkies, guitar, in-line skates etc. - all unused). So it's the week before Christmas, and I find myself in one of those cheap arsed sports shops that's had a sale for the last three years. And there, just beyond the chavtastic Burberry style hats and behind the faux Chelsea T-Shirts, I spy the one thing that I've wanted since childhood, a BMX bike. With no make but the promise of gyroscopic brakes and stunt pegs I was hooked. I was unperturbed by the fact that it was so heavy I could hardly lift it and cheered on by the reduced cost due to yet another sale and carried it up to te counter (with the help from two others).
A week later, I unpack the box and start to build.
Two buckled wheels, a bent fork, a punctured tyre, and a lazy bloke who can't be narked to take it back. There's £60 I won't be seeing in a hurry. Cheap munting piece of Oriental bullcrap.
Length? A bit longer (and a lot shiter) than a proper BMX.
