I have just joined STW and would like to introduce myself!
I am 40, live in Lincoln and ride a Santa Cruz Heckler.
I ride mostly in the Peak District but occasionally visit the Welsh/Scottish trail centres.
I ride with a couple of guys from UK-MTB.com but would be happy to ride with some new people!
What's your position on the "artistic" uses of an octopus?
single speed yes or no?
do you use rock to "mend" your bike.
Do you have any of the following, a single speed, gaggia classic coffee maker, a fast Skoda estate, a DX light......................
Welcome
Hello.
hello
looks like I have come to the right place then with all the humour!
Welcome. Nice bike 🙂
Welcome fellow Heckler rider...
Hi SBrock, just one quick question for you...what tyres for...
Of course you wouldn't dream of coming on here unless you can average over 20MPH on a mountainbike, would you hmmmm?
If you are not gnarly enough to overtake DH boy in inners riding a fixed Xbike while picking your nose you're out of here 😉
Welcome to the world of non-sense.

Providing you don't drive an audi, you'll fit in fine.
Hi SBrock & welcome! I was christened in the crypt at Lincoln Cathedral some 43 years ago but have been lost to Jesus 'cos I do go over to the Darkside on occasions (Campagnolo equipped 531 in royal blue if yer interested!) Haven't been back to Lincolnshire much since 'cos I live near Dartmoor which is flat enough for my liking 😉 How about posting up a photo or two of yer bike so we can assess the state of your garden 😉
be careful with that, you had better jet wash the drive/paint the fence before any photo posting nonsense................... be warned

These have a main purpose in life, do you know what it is? And it's nothing to do with bikes.

I thought they were the membership requirements?
Sweet bike btw.
Run. Run now while you still have a chance...
Used to live in Lincoln myself, but saw the light, and now in Sheffield, mmm, Peaky!
Out of a job at the moment, so if you wanna ride mid-week let me know, addy in profile.
Welcome by the way
ALex
Your outer chainring looks very worn.
Hmm, no dirt on the bike, tyre logos and valves line up, matching 'bling' hubs and spacers.
Should fit right in, welcome!
Look, he even washed his A3 TDI!
Dude, the downhills in Lincoln must be proper gnarl to the power of rad to require a stem that short and hardcore!
Welcome to the madness 🙂
BTW you need some weed killer 😉
From Lincolnshire?
High Six buddy!
Touch of mold on that lower brick line though
Is it the done thing to crash another poster's thread?
Thought I'd post here given the thread title. I've just posted an ad but thought it rude not to introduce myself properly. I'm also new to STW though I've bought the mag often enough. Anyway, I ride a tiny Ti Airborne Mosquito hardtail around the Peaks. If work's web censor permits I'll get a pic up shortly.

Just post a pic of your bike and see what happens. Good luck!
the sum of the parts is greater than the whole.
Here it is. Probably looking a little worse for wear.
Do much riding in the Wolds? Fellow (NE) Lincs rider here.
welcome dood
whereabouts in lincoln? theres a few of us on here 🙂
Wallpaper behind the rad is looking a little creased

Hey sadexpunk, did you ever get yourself a Swift?
Thanks for all the replys!
The pic was my bike just after i finished building her, though only the frame, forks & rubber were new. A year on she is still looking good!
The short stem is how I like it as i love riding the gnarly bits of the dark peak - the riding is totally shite round here, wouldnt be too bad on an xc HT but it bores me to death!
Alex will take you up on your offer, I get plenty of time off in the week as I work shifts!
Rims are DIRTY. Paint on floor, and logos and valves are not lined up.
Shoot the man.
Shoot the man.
I am feeling The Shame.
Hello, your bike is a 'she', does she have a name? (is that a girly question to ask?)
no i just call her a 'she' - dunno why but she rides well!
Instead of 'he' rides well 😯
Hey sadexpunk, did you ever get yourself a Swift?
certainy did dood. will take a pic and send it you when i get chance. im nearly there with it. just need an 80mm zero rise stem instead of the 90 on it at the mo 🙂
Wish i'd kept mine and geared it...... 😥
