    Going to take it for a long weekend in The Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.

    So with out cheating can you tell what it is?

    Sheldon’s not allowed to play either. 😆

    Looks like a nice DW Turner. Liked by people who ride, hated by posers who prefer how it looks in the carpark.

    It’s got to go back any way as it’s a test bike. 🙂

    I wasn’t aware that Giant made mansized wheel bikes. 😉

    Tang has it.

    does the sticker pack only come with one E and one R? looks like some one has been playing with the mechano IMO.

    Must be shit then.

    Think I’ll just take it back without trying it now I know. 🙄 😉

    Tang.

    No matter how good it is my Jones won’t be going anywhere.

    It’s a medium BTW. Not sure if it’s big enough or not. I’ll find out over the weekend though.

    So I was right – it’s 5 Spot with silly wheels! Except it’s not a proper Turner. Or am I talking b******ks? Sorry, like the old Turners and I know that’s biased as I’ve never ridden one of the new ones. But I wouldn’t buy a car if it didn’t at least look right. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

    didn’t say it was shit, just don’t like the look of it, particularly the rear end, looks like its just been tacked on at the last minute. I didn’t say your not allowed to buy one, you put pictures of your bike on the internet and are surprised that not everybody likes it 🙄 back at ya 😆

    Mrpink.

    You had yours long?

    Does the linkage creak?

    This one creaks like a bastard under load. I suspect it’s not been grease properley though.

    I said silly wheels – I was just jesting. I think Sideways have a DW Turner as a demo bike so I might give it a try and compare it to my old 5 Spot.

    did i mention that i didn’t like it BTW

    I think I’d just about be able to live with that. 😉

    Nice. I’ve had a DW 5 spot for a few months now, and it really is an excellent bike. BTW, no creaks yet! Let us know how it goes.
