Are your bikes boutique? They're not cool unless they're boutique... 😉

Yep, they rock . . . they take all your money 😈 , dump you on your @r$e 😥 , make you feel like an OAP 🙁 , make you feel 12 again 8) , then they swan off to ebay and go and live with other people leaving you with a fotopic account full of memories - b4st4rd$. I love 'em - now what's next . . .

[i]bikes ****ing rock! [/i]

This statement is the truest statement ever made in the history of the earth. And probably the universe.

History will see us correct.

Tazer hardtail on ebay at the mo' Juiced, and a Mountain Cycle Battery starting tomorrow.

It's gotta stop - I've spend £hundreds since some ****** tried to nick my Slopestyle from work in May - it was the perfect bike, I rode it everywhere and didn't notice or even care that it was totally impractical for a lot of the places it took me as it was my only bike. I didn't notice the weight, it was like a big old sofa, getting me safely to the bottom of the d/h track and cushioning my tired old bones on the trek back home 😥 . After my lock was cropped I got scared and went through goodness knows how many tiny frames trying to find something that felt as good to ride everyday, that wouldn't get stolen - folding shopper, Schwinn cruiser, Intense BMX cruiser, Cove Sanchez, Flow Myth, and 2 x BMXs - then I discovered the Tazer FS with its crack addiction 😉 - fantastic little bike, rode it every day to work, didn't worry about leaving it outside the shops with its rewelded rear end screaming 'steal me and I'll dump you on your @r$e' . . and suddenly the Slopestyle felt like a big heavy lump when I took it out at weekends 🙁 , hence the sale.

I decided to drop the proceeds on a lovely new Tazer hardtail for my posh weekend ride - one of the nicest bikes I've ever built but I should've known it would never work after having been used to full-squish for so long - 2 rides and I'm hobbling around like the old lady I don't want to admit I am and I'm off clicking the 'buy' button again after being seduced by the lovely black MC Battery. Spent all day Friday building it up but even then I knew deep down that it was never going to be 'the one'. It's sat behind me now looking fantastic - part of me desperately wants to take it down the local d/h tomorrow but I'll be stripping it for ebay instead - makes sense to sell it unridden surely.

Feels good to be back to just the one and I'm sure the little Tazer FS won't fold on me at the speeds I take DH 😉 . If anyone knows where there's a little Tazer frame (without cracks or rewelds) in need of a loving home, you know who to call. In the meantime it's gonna be an exercise in patience . . . and self-control 😉

mamadirt - how about a tiny fakenger bike. Haven't seen one of those.

I don't think they exist - I know, I've looked 😉

They're pretty good. I just hate trying to find a new one since I always wonder if there's anything better out there. Currently trying to decide between a slacker, longer travel hardtail or a Pitch full sus.

yeah, but if you were skint, the government had taken your only dog, your car got pinched by scrotes, cooker stopped working, wife left you for a tyre salesman, boss said your facebook post was not company policy and your mates were useless divs and everything you thought was true and real suddenly turned into a lie. You'd ride yer bike....and feel just a slightly little bit better with that wind in your hair. Bikes are indeed ACE.

Fail!

Bikes are indeed great, especially the ones already sitting in your kitchen . . . surely it'd be rude not to take that little Battery out to the local DH after work tomorrow - it looks so damn purposeful . . . and anyway I remember selling my previous two Tazer VP frames cos they didn't have enough [s]skill compensation[/s] travel 😉

Somebody slap me!
