Christ on a bike, that's gopping

Wanted a Britten?

Wanted a Britten?

Quoted from the article.
“The colors were drawn from my love of the Britten V1000; John was a hell of a risk taker… I love the 80s colors and love the effect it will have on all the red lovers out there.”

I didn't think it was possible to make a 916 shaped bike ugly,but this was a resounding success.

Good anti theft properties that paint scheme

[mangocrazy]

That is fucking awful. How to reduce the value of a bike to a quarter of what it would fetch in original spec.

Having ridden and very very much admired an actual 916 SPS - I really really want to burn that one, despite it's pink frame

[Mr Moofo]

The designer of that concept and the painter who did it, deserve to die

[ChrisW]

It's horrible but it has made me think that a dark blue - otherwise standard - 916 would look good.

[Taipan]

Quality street hydro dip!

[Ian]

I've no idea why but my first thought was Cadbury Boost rather than Britten

[Count Steer]

I could, just about, say 'Yeah, whatevs' but those wheels.

Had to read comments to realize it's a 916
