I think Tigre still has the market cornered with the "Pedo-Tiger" concept.

agreed ... and i believe tigre was sportin' the stripes long before the yahoos in the link above ... which was the basis for my opinion that a design infringement lawsuit might be brewing.  [evil]

We do have plenty of lawyers on the board...

Then again, Jeff Tigert could probably claim prior art ;D

Tigre might want to take out papers against Target (http://www.target.com/s?keywords=tiger_bike&LNM=Tiger%20bike&CPNG=sports&AFID=google&LID=14p812551&adgroup=bikes&MT=broad&KID=5f7e5792-7b4d-c509-ca68-00001a4d86d1&ref=tgt_adv_XS000000) though.
