It’s not fair to show bikes with all of those stem stackers under the bars, a quick swap the other way and they will look 800 times more Gnarr.
Science fact.
Yes.
£280 for a gravity dropper!! WOW that’s inflation!!
I paid £148.50 in 2006 from riverside cycles
For £4300 those Treks ought to be “all right”.
£75 for a phone cover!
…meanwhile On-one sell Reverbs this week for £150.
£709 for an mobile phone!!!!!! (iPhone 5s 64gb)
That Slash 9 just looks… right.
The Juliana frame looks just like the new SC Bronson or Tallboy2.
So what is the difference between an enduro bike and a “technical trail bike” then?
We’re going with colour…
What flavour of Forks are on the \9 ?? 160mm 2014 CTD’s ?
Look forward to hearing how they ride!
“So what is the difference between an enduro bike and a “technical trail bike” then?”
Ones hair and the others fur!
£45 for sleeves????? is that correct a Shrug?
I’ve often thought a Shrug might be better in some ways than arm-warmers. Any thoughts Chipps?
The Luminator is brill. Lumen 800 would make great headmet light partner. Santa?
