Hehe, you dont sit down, the little seat is to save having the weight of a normal seat and seat post while also stopping you from getting the seat tube up your ass.

Bad news, the frame is cracked.

So I'm sending it back next week for them to look at.

so that's a fake seat to prevent yourself from becoming one with the bike?
why are the gears so small? or is that because of the camera

Yes, indeed it is.

The front gears are small to get better ground clearance.

Which means to get a decent ratio the rear gears are also small. I normaly run somthing like 22tooth:19tooth and 22tooth:18tooth.

Its a fairly specialist bike and isnt really much use for normal biking, due to the gears, the seat and the rear brake pads.

so what is it used for exactly?

Trials! WOW! I saw trials with those specially designed motobikes the other the day for the first time. That was amazing!

If you can do those tricks on a pedal powered bike, I bow to technical prowess!

Motor bikes can go a little bigger.
What was it that they did?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

How about if we spray paint BP6.Com all over your bike, David, then we’ll have an official BP6.Com trials bike!
