A Blokes Guide to Buying a Mountain Bike.

Forget the all that flash terminology crap, self serving propaganda & let’s put any pricing issues aside for the purposes of this exercise.

Guy’s when you enter a bike shop, it boils down to two simple choices.

1.)THE RACY MODEL (BUYS LINGERE AT VICTORIAS SECRET)

Pro’s for the ‘Racy’ are:

- She’ll be hot, and I mean ‘hot’.
- She’ll be fast and speak with a foreign accent only bike techs can translate.
- Other guys will drool over her and want to take her for a ride.

Con’s for the ‘Racy’ are:

- You may find some errant, unexpected spending on ones credit card now and again.
- High maintenance.
- Relationship’s of this kind, last 5 years or less.

2.)SUBURBAN HOUSE-WIFE (BUYS ‘PRACTICAL’ PANTIES)

Pro’s for the ‘Suburbanite’ are:

- Reliable. Tea is always on the table.
- More forgiving when you come home drunk.
- Your kids will have left home before you need to trade her in

Con’s for the ‘Suburbanite’ are:

- Only hot when pushed really hard (6 times a year max)
- Any guy with a racy will take the piss out of your model.

So there we have it gentlemen.

So what’s it to be?

The Racy or The Suburban?
