Abstract: We show that a family of isolated complex hypersurface singularities with constant Milnor number may fail, in the strongest sense, to have constant bi-Lipschitz type. Our example is the Briac con--Speder family

X_{t} := (x, y, z) i n C^{3} | x^{5} + z^{15} + y^{7} z + t x y^{6} = 0

of normal complex surface germs; we show the germ

(X_{0}, 0)

is not bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic with respect to the inner metric to the germ

(X_{t}, 0)

for

t e 0

.
