Just saw this cool bike over on the ChainReaction site it’s a peach and the good thing is they’ll build up a bike for you.

If you read any sort of magazine associated with your chosen discipline of cycling, then you’re guaranteed to have come across the part where pro riders show off their pimped out bikes. BMX, Dirt Jumping, Downhill….they’re all at it, with custom paint jobs, blinged out rims and whatever else they can think of.

Everyone knows standard just doesn’t cut it any more, so if you have a spec list in mind then why not get in touch with our sales staff and get the wheels in motion? Our qualified mechanics are here to get it built up for you, the sky really is the limit!

We have pretty much every part you can think of and endless colour possibilities, so whether you want something sleek and colour coded or you prefer to stand out from the crowd then we can do it for you. For an example of just what is possible, check out this bad boy we built up for our showroom….

  1. That is the most disgusting thing i have ever seen

  2. Ha, I’m actually loving it.

  3. Its growing on me, looks like its been made by a child out of Lego or Duplo with all the different colours! :0

  4. Remember when some car company or other used something like this to display available colours, folk liked it so much they released the multi colour version?

    it´s too much new school for me,i prefer all black, whithout prejudice off course.

  6. I really like it…

    Billy, I think you’re thinking of VW – pretty sure they released a version of the Polo with different coloured body panels… in fact *googles* http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&rlz=1C1CHMA_en-GBGB341GB341&q=polo+harlequin&oq=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=FpBpS8PTEIfu0gSg_62hCA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBAQsAQwAA

  7. i love it, and i have a plain black bike

  8. Jason, that’s the badger. I probably like it cos I had a multi coloured Vauxhall Viva ages ago…one coool car.

    maybe its a emo bike…

  13. Big Pimpin’….. lovin’ it!!

  14. sweet bike but its just wouldnt stand out at the trails enough for me

  15. emo clown poop while jumping to jazz flute

  16. don’t care much about that build but I do know that my vomit was a similar colour scheme recently

  17. yeh it does have a ‘vw harlequin’ theme to it! just shows how much stuff you can get in awesome colours now compared to 2-3 years ago! and thats alllllll gooooood!

  18. It’s a nicely specced build, if there was some sort of coordination it would look mint.

  19. looking at it makes my balls hurt

  20. You know how people going on about mountain bikes trying to be more cool and stylish, banning skinsuits, finding it’s own identity etc. Well this really isn’t helping one bit.
    On a different note i’ve figured out what is wrong with Dirt these days. It’s becoming a magazine about buying bikes not riding bikes. I wish you guys all the success in the world but it’s not for me anymore thanks.

  21. Hey No No No, have you actually looked at the magazine recently? Dirt 95 had the top 50 places to RIDE your bike in Europe. Dirt 96 has a huge section on Alternative Races…yeah, RIDING your bike. We usually only have two bikes tested in each issue, so that is hardly overkill (in fact Dirt 97 only has one, and all the other mags have way more). I think your ‘figuring out’ is wrong.

    DIRT HQ.

  22. Is that some sort of wiper seal on the seatpost / clamp?

    I’m with Dirt HQ, I think the mag is the one least likely to look like a brochure. Even Mr Jones’ bike reviews are about the riding and not the shiny bits (I think.) But it’s something to be careful of, I guess it would be easy to take a load of PR photos and bung them in the magazine every month.

    Maybe no no no is talking about the Dirt 100?

  23. Dirt HQ, I’ve bought everyone of your magazines for five or six years. taking issue 95 as an example:

    148 pages

    54 pages of adverts
    17 pages of bike bits / reviews
    14 pages of nike propoganda that relates very little to how real people actually ride.
    11 pages of columns (mainly good stuff)
    7 full page photo pages (more please this used to be one of the best bits about dirt)
    4 pages about how to buy and sell on Ebay, give me a break.
    13 pages of interviews (good stuff)
    8 pages of Steve jone’s incoherant ramblings (enjoyable still somehow)
    14 pages about 50 best resorts – Not my cup of tea. As Peaty says it’s who and how not where that matters. But even if i was planning a holiday the descriptions aren’t really comprehensive enough to give me enough knowledge to pick one resort over another, I do like your longer resort write ups from previous issues. This seems like a re-hashing of those along with some knowledge from Rowan.
    2 Pages of Mountainbike science (VERY interesting stuff, i love this, i’d read a magazine full of this, more more more please)

    So that’s it 28 from 148 pages that interest me. Sorry to whinge, I respect your right to make the magazine how you want. It’s probably just me that feels this way but i just thought i’d let you know.

  24. mtb jeff, Dirt 100 is in my opinion horrible, and sums up a large part of what i hate about mountainbiking in general, ie lots of idiots who think they are mountainbikers buying overpriced tat then pootling round trailcentres. If you enjoy that go for it, but to me you’re doing mountainbiking a disservice. However my hatred for the dirt 100 is a separate issue. I know the fastest bike is crucial if you race WC or even nationals but really how many of us do? Was your 1998 LTS any less fun to ride than your 2008 Enduro? I don’t think so.

  25. To be honest no no no, I have no idea which kind of a magazine you read then. The only mag type that comes to my mind, that is really into riding and totaly not into any bling bling is one of those polish or German super lame road biking mags that have 150 pages which contain:

    -5 pages of component adverts (most with shimano ultegra cranks, and campagnolo brakes)
    -30 pages of nutrition and regeneration products adverts
    -10 pages of interviews with some 5th class road bikers from Bougabile le Blanc de la Fatish in some not clearly specified flemish country,
    - 1 page article about how extreme in safety terms CX is
    - 2 pages of MTB section: xc world champs from 5 years ago, and how did Gunther Marc Pedalieu changed from MTB into road biking.
    - 3 pages about road biking in some spot around lake Garda
    - other 100 pages: articles about importance of nutrition and winter training

    Now Dirt is one of the few Mags that have reviewers who actualy ride well, or very very good, a bit of Top Gear Clarksonism kills most of stupid teenage adressed WHAT IZ COOL stuff like the bike above. I also haven’t noticed uber lame and notoriously present in BMX mags pics of some PRO doing big stuff without a helmet.

    And the bike above is the show off of CRCs possibilities to customize the bike.

  26. I think I’m with you on the Dirt 100 thing.

    But I’m a fan of the idiots – they are the guys keeping my local bike shop in business, and if more people are on bikes, it’s all good.

  27. I think the Dirt 100 thing is superb, I haven’t seen a single product there that I wouldn’t choose myself. It tells stupid ZE COOL THING oriented kids what actualy is good, instead of telling them that the best spokes, bars or rims ever are the pink ones! I talk a lot with one kid and his only about it! He wanted me to advise him the good disc brake to buy and what mattered to him most was the hose colour!!!

    Go Dirt, educate the society!

  28. I’m liking this discussion now, I understand you a bit more about you No No. But I think Waki is right, I’m not sure if the magazine you want exists. And your breakdown of the magazine, I would say that proportionality it is the same as it has ever been. There has always been a mix of advertising, product and features, Dirt has always had that balance.
    As for people pootling around trail centres, well if they weren’t there then maybe we wouldn’t have so many MTB specific, and good, places to ride.
    And the Dirt 100? Well I can tell you, that is a really tricky thing. just trying to pick the 100 best is hard, but what we were aiming to do was to put forward to readers good, solid products that do the job. There is a lot of shit out there, so we were trying to help people out. You sound like you know your bikes, but not everyone does.

  29. Now without the irony (which I absolutely thrive on) No No No, think for while. You want to start a business which is biking oriented magazine, you probably don’t have much money at the beginning so you need to find sponsors. Think what do you need to start a business, rent an office, buy computers, printers for previewing – just think how much money costs printing of 1000 copies (no, no its not just the cost of mag paper itself,) and how small number to sell in fact it is. Now after time you are earning more money and you want to take your mag to the next level. You need more qualified staff and press material providers. Your friend who is a photographer, graphic designer, text editor whatever, working for the “nice price” is just not providing work good enough (cuz he has not much time with a wife other job maybe a kid?) so you want to hire professionals. Do you know what the salary is with all the employment costs? Magazine cannot thrive only on passion, it can’t live without it but it can’t also live without constant external funds like adverts.

    Now Dirt has a top level pics and graphic design of which even some furniture designers wouldnt be ashamed of. They need to finance it somehow. Furthermore the adverts are often of a high quality, not regular bad pic from the producer done with IXUS cam.

    So think in company ownership reality in scope a bit more

    CHEERS!

  30. All this bike needs is is a set of Reverse 820mm Bars on it.

    in fact DIRT is the best mag i see since my beginning in mtb 15 years ago, but comming from the old school (skate,hardcore,rap and beers)i cant understand this fashion thing: mega coloured bikes,skin tigh jeans and this fuckin emo attitude.Im very identify whit DIRT but this colour scheme goes against my principles.maybe im geting old.but a hardcore old indeed!

  32. So… _is_ that some sort of wiper/seal on the seat post then? :-)

  33. Frankly Dirt become a little staid a very long time ago.

    Unfortunately as someone above has correctly pointed out, the magazine people are looking for doesn’t exist.

    The Ride Journal is close – it may be a broader church than Dirt but the photography & writing is on another level.

    The media in the cycling world is unfathomably traditional in business model and in use of design and technology. Consequently sites like Dirt (which use the same media sales driven templates as all other Factory Media sites) are nearly entirely reliant on advertising sales – along with the print counterpart.

    Sound like a few other dinosaur business models slowly dying out? Dirt won’t die though, it’s cornered a section of the market to allow it to have a decent level of control over its audience – but it doesn’t end up being the product it could be.

    The changes in the media world over the last have been far reaching, combined with the recent economic climate and it’s testament to loyalty of the audience that many titles are still standing. However, this change is allowing people to see what a print title should really be about and refocusing people around media products that are genuinely different, insightful and provide tangible permanence lacking in many of today’s throw away ‘zines.

    The future is 130gsm, uncoated and from an FSC managed source. The future isn’t for everyone because not everyone is the future.

  34. I guess this is what some years ago everyone was after, a missing puzzle: components in variety of colours, something that has different colour than silver and black. There were only a couple of products which had a colour and they were usualy the elite ones like yellow deemaxes. So dear customers, eat the crap of your demands :)

    Still, this is the style right now, observed mostly in dirt/street community. Regular disciplines of mtb still hold style fitting my taste which is black&white with one colour added(ok there’s too much white mountain bikes around – yes mine is also white but I bought it before the hype begun) One of the precursors of colorful style in MTB was a merry lad from Canada called Darren Berrecloth, indicating that it is the Slopestyle coming in with filthy colorful shoes into our beloved MTB scene. And without a doubt Slopestyle is the most freestylish discipline of MTB.

    To end: it is the Hip Hop that stands behind all of this!!! Long live Rock&Metal!

  35. Mtb Jeff, I’m with you on the wiper seal seat post theory:-)

  36. It’s a shim you dullard, not a wiper seal!

  37. Doh! Of course.

    Nothing worse than a gritty post though, when will someone invent something?

  38. have you tried an old bit of inner tube? works wonders!

  39. reading dirt stops my balls hurting

  40. waki, I get your point about economies of scale, but if you have access go and look at any of the really earlly issues of dirt and tell me that these “proffesionals” you have to hire do a better job than the original team that did the (even post dyer) early issues. Those magazines had passion and style and made me feel passionate about riding bikes. It’s just not the case any more. Again I appreciate this may be just me and I’m sure Dirt mag serves some sectors of the market very well, just not me anymore. (no disrespesct is meant to the dirt staff here, I’m not in any way questioning your proffesionalism, just making reference to the language used by a previous poster)

    I get the feeling Velokaizen knows what I’m feeling, I’ll have a look at Ride Journal. If the photography is on another level I will be truly amazed as iI fell this is one of Dirt’s strong points!

  41. You’re all overthinking this. Chain Reaction have clearly built that bike up to show you their variety of components and colour options, its not to say buy a multicoloured bike you complete bunch of idiots!
    It’s saying pick whatever you want for a bike and they’ll build it up custom for you. multicoloured or all black.
    If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

    As for Dirt, its an awesome mag that covers a lot, it can’t keep everyone happy on every page, stop whining about whats in the mag, or what other people are riding, if someone wants to spend £10K on a bike then thats their choice, and if you’re being sour about it then it’s because you’re just jealous that they can afford it, the truth is that you ride because its fun, on what ever bike, at what ever cost in whatever colour you want, push your own limit, and it doesn’t affect you what other people are doing, it’s the people that are trying so hard not to be trendy that ruin the sport. so give it a rest and go ride your bikes.
