Pinkbike copycat

December 17, 2006

Published by radek


Yeah, I know that some say that imitation is the most sincere form of flatery, but there is a limit right? Ok, check out this website www.silverbikes.com

I just came across it and had to laugh my ass off.

What do you guys think?

They probably just copied the source from pinkbike. I mean how else are they gonna get the little logo next to the url in your browser?! their server sucks too

I have lived in China as a teacher for the past three years and have come to expect things like this to happen. Not much to offer in lines of innovation but they are awful good at duplication!

Hey SIlverbikes, you don't have to change it. No problems here. I think it's great that you used that look. The only reason why I put it up because I though it was funny and something unusual to see. By all means, use that look. Don't change anything. Silverbikes is cool.
