PORSCHE RS BIKE BY ALEXEI SAYLE IN THE TELEGRAPH. 

"INTERESTINGLY THEY DIDN’T SEND IT OUT TO THE SPECIALIST CYCLING MAGS AND SITES PERHAPS HOPING THAT THEY’D GET AN EASIER RIDE IN THE GENERAL MEDIA. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE CALLED PORSCHE WHEN WE RAN THIS STORY HERE BUT DIDN’T GET A RETURNED CALL FROM THEIR PRESS OFFICE. THE FUNNY THING IS WE QUITE LIKED THE LOOK OF IT. AT LEAST ON ROAD.CC IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REVIEWED FAIRLY IN ITS OWN RIGHT AS A BIKE AND THE REVIEW WOULD HAVE BEEN SEEN BY POTENTIALLY 350,000 (LATEST MONTHLY GOOGLE STATS) FOLK WHO WEREN’T PREDISPOSED TO HATING CYCLISTS. MORE LIKELY, THOUGH, THEIR MARKETING DEPARTMENT SIMPLY COULDN’T GET THEIR HEADS AROUND THAT CYCLING JOURNALISTS WOULD HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF METAL BASHING OR AS THEY’D PROBABLY PUT IT, AN APPRECIATION OF THE FINER POINTS OF PORSCHE ENGINEERING. LIKE CYCLISTS DON’T BUY NICE GERMAN CARS. ARF!"
