two wheels, metal frame, seat...not that much difference really is there?

4 wheels, engine, seats.
All cars are the same to drive then?

yeah but there are loads of bits that make up a car, bikes are simple

Theres lots of bits that make up a bike too and they can all make a difference
Of the top of my head, frame, Bottom Bracket, Cranks, Gearing, Brakes, Pedal type, Crank Length, Wheel size, tyre size, tyre treads and many more

I've ridden a lot of bikes and each part makes a difference to the overall ride.

Look obvious example
My commuting bike has 2 wheels a metal frame and a seat. So does Sportos bike. Ask him if you think they ride the same.

Yeah
Yours doesn't even have stabilisers!

yeah but it's not like a 4 pot super mini compared to a V8 pickup truck is it?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:15, Reply)

Sort of
If sporto rode my bike the way he rides his it would break in seconds, but if I rode his the way I ride mine I would have a heart attack and die trying to get it up to 40mph.

And this isn't your preferred suicide method?

No.
I'm going with the Bungee rope, superglue, cheese wire, building method.

No
I am saying that despite having two wheels, a metal frame and wheels our bikes are very different. And that your assumption that all bikes are the same is rubbish and you are not only bent but a spastic.

yeah wel, I get on a bike and peddle and it goes forward, end of

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:27, Reply)

I expect it more like
You get on a bike, pedal, wobble about a bit, fall off, repeat
( Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:34, Reply)

nah, your mama's way to fat to fall off

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:35, Reply)

Well, apart from a frame, PJ's new bike doesn't have any of those things.
