My good friend Brian snapped his aged Marin susser last week and was really down in the dumps. Local LBS(Ralph Colmans) reminded him of the lifetime warranty and promptly worked on getting him back on two wheels . Top guys indeed as 7 days later we were christening his new steed ! Brian ,John and I spent this morning blasting around our semi-local trails at Haldon nr Exeter . Comments ?

the little tacker infront took some overtaking on my SS gearing !

Brian at speed.

a bit of cake and coffee always finishes a ride off just right.

saw this in the carpark and thought mmm nice, fancy one of those .

Those old boys look like they would tear me to pieces on the trail. Ace 🙂

didnt know if haldon was worth a visit but from those pics i may just nip in when im down next – cheers knottie! 😀

nice but wet i bet .

Not that wet or muddy .

Love that TREK with those DUC 32 forks what model is it?

its a “69er” the original single speed version.

Where are the shots of Brian lying in the bushes then?? 😉

Looks good Knottie & I see John has a new helmet 🙂 won’t miss him wearing that one.

Only drawback of a Fabia VRs is that they are not uk type approved for towbars therefore if you got one and had one fitted (as you could legally abroad as they are type approved abroad) it would be illegal in the uk and therefore you would be stuck with roofmounting the bikes or normal rack on tailgate or getting the inside of the car filthy.
And I had my heart set on one as my retirement play car….
Cant beat a good lifetime frame warranty 😀

Those Trek 69ers are mad things, I grin every time I see one. I think I want one.

Will be at Haldon about 7.30 tomorrow – good to hear marin honouring their warranty. 🙂

did you think the chap shouting ‘knottie’ at you was talking to someone else?

Good news story

did you think the chap shouting ‘knottie’ at you was talking to someone else?

Lol! Yeah but Knottie was concentrating on taking biking pics….. yay! 🙂

Sorry to have not heard you(im old and cant hear great) .Strangly I did keep an eye open as had a feeling you(Del) would be about. Where were you ?

slight hijack sorry

Del – what’s St Andrews Lane like at the moment, still running fast or overgrown with brambles/branches etc?

Probably going up there next Saturday for a ride.
