[#3440467]

Went round my 'dealers' house yesterday mainly to speak about potential build for a 29er HT and he had a Bos'd up Nic Helius AM just sitting there looking, well pretty damn nice actually.

Jokingly I asked him how much for it as it stood. And he told me.

Now I'm seriously mulling it over.

Why oh why oh why... .

Once the seed has been planted, it germinates then propogates. I've got a Yeti ASR seed germinating as we speak. I'm determined to fight it.

Oh god. You mean it's time to abandon all hope?

Thing is there's already a Solaris seed in there already.

One half says you already have 2 Cotic hard tails, what do you need another for? You need a full sus...

The other half says youd be way over biked and you never keep a full sus for long anyways...

Aargh!

Just say no!

These evil low life pedallers of misery (see what I did there) will lead you into a never ending spiral of despair. Sure it seems harmless enough at first, fixing you up with a seemingly harmless bit of fun with a HT 29er but do you really think that the Nicolai was there by mistake??

He's luring you in. Before you know it you're into him to the tune of £ 3.5k worth of german pure strength industrial gear and there's no turning back! Then there's the constant upgrades to satisfy that constant craving of that next big adrenaline fix. Before you know it, you'll have the same dishevelled unkempt appearance of this lost soul. Note the sunken cheeks, unshaven face and charity shop cowboy outfit. Then read HIS story.

A cautionary tale if ever there was one.

Bregante, I think you may have just saved me...

Although to be fair I think bos forks are better made than those comedy American ones...

It's times like this when stw shows it's true colours.

Thank you!

Nope. Let's just say it might have suffered from the odd pedal strike on occasion in the past...

He's an evil pusher bike pimpin man that dipper.

And he keeps replying promptly to my emails too!

Keeps telling me its an absolute bargain..... 🙂
