I don't know. $850 for a Land Rover, rollin' on 26's, with a 21 speed Italian Shimano (probably Ferrari-built?) transmission. Seems too good to be true.

I dig the Accrue wheels.

Wonder if they roll on a straight line method.

For what it's worth, that site is an automated aggregator site. Essentially, it puts together links and keywords and photos from across the web, trying to click-bait people into hitting the site for their ad revenue or other purposes. If you read that site, you will notice that the article is rather nonsensical and doesn't say much at all about the bikes, Land Rover, or anything else.

I did a little research, and considering that Land Rover bicycles are available through Alibaba as marketed by Hong Kong's Solomo Group under several different names, I suspect this bike has absolutely nothing to do with Land Rover. But...I can get you 50 of them for around $100 each.

Ha, I thought they were give aways that came with a Land Rover or something. I didn't go any further than that site, good detective work.

"Frame Material - Strong Steel "

You'd rather have weak steel? :D


Yeah. 41 lbs.

At that weight, you are better off getting an old Varsity. The Varsity will survive Armageddon. The "Land Rover" might survive until next week.

Of course, the Varsity won't fold. It probably wouldn't fold in a car crusher.


The truly sad part about the CL ad is that there's a decent chance someone will fall for it and actually shell out some not insignificant bucks on what is basically a powder-coated folding turd.
