    Gaz Gaz Gaz! Starting to get expensive now.

    I casually mentioned it to Mrs Spider last night and she told me not to be so “Bloody daft”.

    I may still buy a full face lid for the next time I suggest making a rash mid life crisis purchase.

    This one’s not expensive

    And neither is this one..

    So when are we starting club racing?

    Assuming the 29th December is an 8 o’clock kick off again then count me in!

    That felt looks a bit tasty and it’s in preston . I would have had that if I hadn’t bought a bike last weekend.

    I’m in as well purleez. Theres a chap here at work wants to join us too. He’s a mountain biker and, after I’d told him about our evening, he suggested it too the lads he rides with. They all looked at him like he was mental. So he wondered if he could join us instead.

    I’d spotted that Felt in Preston too. Not that I’m looking, or owt. Honest!

    I’d love to do the 29th too.

    I have this, but I think the 19.5″ TT is too short compared to the ones we were riding, and I’m not sure I trust the original straight laced front wheel. I bought it as a wreck for £25 from a kid whose dad resprayed it in the Caterpillar factory, then spent about another £200 on bits.

    Trust me, 19.5″ will feel way too cramped for anyone over 5’6″.

    Mine’s 21.5″, but the previous frame was 21.75″. Stem length and bar height play an important part too.

    Hmm, thanks. I’ve found it okay on skateparks, but riding there and back kills my back (whereas a few hours on the ones we rode at the track didn’t).

    Maybe it’s new frame time. That’d mean the only things I haven’t replaced would be the forks, bars and stem 🙂 Might just whack a one piece crank back in and sell it. It looked way better like that, the modern bits don’t go well with the retro frame.
