No - I have no personal knowledge of these bikes so cannot condone or condemn.
My issue is with the legitimacy of the programme.
You could give the winning bike of the tdf to these people in flat pack form and you would get the same result.
This programme amounts to no bonafide evidence against the quality of these bikes.

I have and I can tell you I would rather ride my 20 year old "Apollo Kaos" than the crap that is coming out of the supermarkets in the UK.

Exactly - the only point the programme conveys is that someone incapable of assembling a bike will not be able to assemble a bike. Its nonsense.

**** sake, it's not nonsense! It was saying that exactly the people who these ****ing bikes are aimed at are not capable of building them! There is a (possibly to subtle for you to see) difference.

I'm beginning to suspect you are labouring on this on purpose...

"Don't tell him, Pike!"

LMAO. Such a great show

This programme was forwarded as substatiation to tesco / asda bikes being poor quality.
I was making the point that it dosnt reflect on the quality of the bikes , so much as the ability of the people assembling them.
Incompetent assembly is going to result in problems regardless of the inherant quality of the bike.

So the expert who couldn't assemble the bike without other tools was also incompetent was he?
