this is what happens when you keep photos on a CD for 30 years. these are 640 x 426, they were originally 3456 x 2304. another had no pictures left at all, and a few CD's were 1540 X 800 (?) while others are full size but the images have deteriorated.
I swear i've seen an old photo from maybe the 60's or 70s of a woman riding a bike very like this. Don't know who Bandit 9 are, but I guess they copied the design? It is called a MkII, which implies there was a MkI.
Took me a while to figure out all that architectural digest stuff is from India. A caption to their photo is "By understanding their design process, it becomes clear that Bandit 9's high standards are apparent in the bikes". WTF does that mean?
Ah, I see you've never encountered architect-speak before. The main, and perhaps only, objective is to sound far cleverer than the reader, so that you wouldn't dare question anything they tell you. Or AI wrote it. One or the other.
Tell me about it! It's a blurb designed to make you come away from noticing that the end product diametrically contradicts the stated brief with no more than "OK?"
So their charging $13,000 for a $1,500 CT70 clone with bigger wheels and a suppository for a gas tank?
