We’ve just taken delivery of this natty folding bike from value-meisters Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op – Revolution is their house brand, though the bike is made for them by Dahon. It features an alloy frame, Shimano running gear and full mudguards, and even comes with its own carry bag (which is a bit of a tight squeeze) and folding pedals. And in these credit crunched times you’ll be heartened to hear that the Compact will only set you back £273.06. It’s exclusively available from www.edinburghbicycle.com – look out for our road test soon.

@mdavidford I can see how it confused you when I pointed to the reviewer at the bottom. but hey if you cant read an entire comment before getting all keyboard warrior blah, kind of like you usually do that not my fault. I should have guessed the first person to reply to a comment would be you, you cant help yourself.

@chrisonabike It never ceases to amaze me how drivers consider public land to be their private parking spaces.

Erm - it has - as per the item above: (Technically, a 'budget cap' and a 'team salary cap' aren't quite the same thing, but given how much of the costs are paying riders, it would have a similar effect.)

A lot of pro sports leagues have team salary caps. Curious that hasn't been mooted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salary_cap

Well your original comment did rather suggest that was your understanding. The bit 'critiquing' the pros and cons was sandwiched in the middle of railing against the makers. And the amount of ill-thought-out tripe that gets posted under some of these reviews, it wouldn't surprise me at all if someone thought the manufacturer provided the pros and cons.

JB may not bé Mr Nice but in this case he's 100% right. I thought when Lappartient was elected he knew sod all about pro cycling and his real ambitions were related to running thé Olympics.

@mdavidford Well duh, is a manufacturer going to put negative comments on their own products? did you really just try to explain that?

Surely Fred Wright's going to win a race in his career that isn't the national champs. He's been close so many times now.

The pros and cons come from the reviewer, not the manufacturer. And they do explain in the review why they think the lack of MIPS could be viewed as either/both a positive or a negative. Less so with the shape, but it's easy to see how that could be considered a good or a bad thing, depending on whether it suits your head shape. If anything, it's a deficiency of the review template - that it doesn't have a section for something like 'other considerations' that aren't pros or cons.
