I recently bought a Minion DHR II (29x2.6) from Tredz for half the price quoted above by Freewheel or are 27.5 tyres becoming more rare and therefore more valuable?
That Evoc backpack just doesn't look right, probably get comments like "See you couldn't afford the whole back pack then?" or "did it shrink in the wash?". Also it doesn't look like it would be very comfortable for ladies to wear or is this a male specific one?

Weren’t all the Bottle Rockets in the UK bought because Jedi had one and made them look so cool? I think my cousin still has my old one, maybe I’ll see and rebuild it if he doesn’t want it any more.

I desperately wanted that exact Bottle Rocket in that scheme, or a TR250.

Always wanted a Bottlerocket but bought a Blindside as a more appropriate second best.

Some of the Markus Stitz routes I've followed over the years have a tendancy to avoid some nice trails to instead take you up a near vertical muddy and tussocky climb, the Pentland Hills section on the Edinburgh Capital Trail comes to mind.

Anyone bought it, is it any good?
