"Grand"? (from zooming in on the name on the frame).
Looking at the rear gear, chainset and seat clamp, it is the dog's doo doo rather than the dog's doo daahs.
Not worth spending money on.

100%.

Would love to know what this series of random bike IDs is in pursuit of.

Entering grando mtb into Google gives https://grandobike.ch/ Current designs are not an exact match, as may be expected. The price of an approximate grando machine comes out at £530, which is surprisingly expensive for what at first glance looks like a supermarket special.

I can identify the "type" of bike it is.
Its a cheap nasty piece of junk, "designed" so that its "features" are obvious.

LOOK....its got disc brakes......well, actually its got a front disc brake, because thats the one you see.....rear is a rim brake

LOOK....its got full suspension....... the frame is just about full of suspension parts, so you really can't miss it.

Good enough for a gentle potter on the whelk and winkie trail

Remember, anything you do (or don't do) to your bike can have safety implications

Well done for taking the time to Czech. Obviously Chinese but not from a Tchi Po range if price is the criterion.

It's no so surprising when you take in to account that it is coming from a Swiss distributor.

Awesome that you guys managed to decipher the name. I thought it started with an O. Thanks

As for the why - just out of interest as I am getting into bikes and these are photos of bikes that girls I used to talk to sent me. Was going through the photos and came across a few ones of bikes they had, so thought to ask what they are.

Don't Thorn recommend this? Can't remember which way round though.
