The Bombers are plush and strong mate, very responsive and suit me down to the ground (excuse the pun). I'd like to try fox 40s but I think I'd get 888 World Cups before them. Cheers

I've ridden boxxers, didn't like them. 888s suit my riding style as they're strong as fook and don't take a lot of servicing.

TR1GG3R replied... on 15 December 2007

A couple of people have said that now, not sure what could be there in place of it though.. Orange build it as a Triangle because it's the strongest geometric shape. (I suppose you could build an 'arch' shape bike, but it would look a bit like a penny farthing!! LOL) Cheers mate.
