how odd..

Who ever fitted your kitchen should have realised that the units needed to come out a little so your cooker would be flush.
Robust bike though. Looks tough.

so so true
Posted 2 years ago # -
aha! I get it now. .
So . . . No other foes riders out there? There must be!
Posted 2 years ago # -
I'd love a foes but its a bit out of my pocket.
that one looks very nice
Posted 2 years ago # -
From Halfords then.
Posted 2 years ago # -
podge - they are very expensive and i certainly couldnt afford a new one!! Although balfa had some on sale for same price as an intense tracer . . . Still not exactly cheap!
. . And thanks! Tbh my riding doesnt do it justice!Posted 2 years ago # -
I keep my eye out for them secondhand now and again. seen them going brand new for a grand a couple of times too but never when i have the cash
Posted 2 years ago # -
For such an expensive bike that i'm sad to say looks average.
Maybe photo doesn't do it justice.Posted 2 years ago # -

. . . certainly is one of the stiffest trail bikes about,
You should try their hardtail
. So wanted to love it - it looked the dogs . . . to be fair I didn't really give it much of a chance . . . feet flying off the pedals in the rooty corners in FOD had me running crying back to full-sus 
Posted 2 years ago # -
no i agree, they're not the prettiest of bikes, although the new ones are swoopier and a bit easier on the eye!
Tbh foes are more about stiffness and going down hill much faster than I can!
Posted 2 years ago # -
mamadirt - that does look lovely! I bet it beat the cr** out of you though!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Certainly did - my wallet too
.
Posted 2 years ago # -
i'd love a foes hardtail, if only to look at and polish!
Keep it coming with the foes's. . Got to be a few more out there?!
Posted 2 years ago # -
I have tried to put pictures of my foes's on other sites and it never happens for me, pants.

My FXR frame, to appear in the classifieds shortly.

ooh nice GrumpyStevo - how come you're selling?!
forgotmename - are you making sure that the links you use end in .jpg as opposed to all the re-size gubbins etc?

My XCT-5 when first build up.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Crell - nice that, just wondering where you got it from? Is the grey paint job a custom thing? (only seem to be available in black and red at the moment!)
Posted 2 years ago # -
It is a custom job - painted the same grey RAL as a german made post box
Started life as a red one from Balfa, who had it re-powdered for me.
Foes will do custom colours form the factory as well. I love it.

Selling for a couple of reasons
1. lack of use. I was off the bike for best part of a year due to injury. Have started back on a nice new Evil sovereign HT and am really enjoying it.2. Foes is capable of way more than i will ever be able to do on it, this is probably why i enjoy the HT more. On the same trail at the same speed you get a greater sense of fun/ragged edgeness(?) on the Evil compared to the Foes.
Suspect i will sell it and regret it, as i will probably not be able to afford another new one for a long time, B-29 is mighty tempting though.

Yeah I know what you mean - my FXR takes me to speeds downhill that I'm not very comfortable with!
To be honest, it only seems to come alive at medium to high speed - it's a bit uninspiring on the slow stuff..

If that had of been the XCT you'd have had a salePosted 2 years ago # -
RRR looking sweet but, your a big guy? bike looks short and the wheels arew to small.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Aj - yep it is a little bit short for me but not too bad. .
Podge - go on buy the fxr! You know you want to!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Grumpy Steve - liking the FXR. What weight is the shock set for? (eyeing the piggy-bank, meaningfully....)
