How much does it cost to Oldham?
That's a lesser spotted Universal Hemorrhoid. Run all the way away quickly.

To the forum @Greatgatsby5 .Sorry but that's what's known on here as a BSO (bicycle shaped object)
Not 25 but 24" wheels for the smaller yoof. Full squisher.
Usually inhabits mail order catalogues when new and Cash Converter type shops and railway embankments when a bit older. Avoid.

It looks like a cheap full suspension MTB, re-sprayed blue, with old road bike forks and flat bars. A bitsa, because it's made from bits of this, and bits of that.
Whatever it was originally, they appear to have put some effort into turning it into something that doesn't look too bad at first glance. But is likely to ride abysmally.

If by "beautiful" you actually mean "a crime against nature, physics and aesthetics", then I would concur.
Only consider buying this to actually ride if you have a serious grudge against yourself.

Oh ok gentlemen, thank you for opinions. I liked the aesthetics of it, but of course I don’t want to deal with the „BSO“

Trust us, it wouldn't be much fun at all to ride. It'll weigh a ton as it's likely to be steel rather than aluminium and the components will be poor quality.

Give it a miss. It looks like it's been cobbled together from various random parts. Long term maintenance on something like this won't be fun at all.

Geometry doesn't look good at all. It was designed for suspension forks, so the front end should be taller. By fitting rigid road forks the front end has been dropped so the head and seat tube angles have been steepened by several degrees. The trail will also be changed as a result.
