+1.

Ideally a picture of the actual bike, preferably taken in your kitchen so we can comment on how the frame blends with the cornflakes box or the salt cellar.

At the very least, a link to the suppliers or manufacturers webpage.

Don't worry about the Captain - he gets a bit grumpy this time of year

Now if you could get a picture of it pointing in the other direction it would qualify for the "Post Images of Beauty" thread;)

Beasty is right, you need to turn it the other way and I think they both need to go into the images of beauty. You're the mean one, saying you have a shiny new bike and not posting a picture is a bit like saying you've pictures of Liz Hatch naked and not sharing them with us.

Really great price that though might not come with inner & outer cables, box, or instructions in case you are expecting them. Minor thing really.

Expecting nothing at that price, so anything that arrives is a bonus.

I need to spend money in order to get my mojo back but I don't know what I want, cross frame, mtb or a new planetx?

I am more thinking of getting an mtb and going up some trails..
