Want one

Alright, I'll let you have that one, but I'm having one of the good special editions they do.

Nice that it got higher compression as well as aesthetics.

Not my thing, but I can see why people would like it.

Errm, MCN say it's got higher compression, do they mean over the K4 or the K5 SV thou? Cos I'm pretty sure the K5 has a black frame and wheels, so that suggests MCN are talking out of their arses a bit (who's surprised?)

I think MCN talk out of their **** quite a lot :P

Its a bit like Tomorrows World. Who has ever seen anything that was on TV with Raymond Burke?
