[Closed] Hora's new frame time. My word its nice.

From personal experience I'd say the latter (famous last words, eh? 😆 ) - best climbing, d/h capable bike I've ever had (as you know, there have been one or two 😳 ).

(Has a look).....nope none for sale!

Feeling left out amongst the Oranges on Saturday Hora!?

Sweet lord. What a tool

[i]Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel[/i]

🙂

Short term test-piloting rocks. You go Hora!

Is that a pic of him on the previous page then ?

Its been millions of years since I was a Chocolatefoot lurker, but some things never change 🙂

is that hora?

Mama dirt fine sentiments!

So many frames.. You know I can build a frame in c30mins now.

Ndg let us know when your free next

. You know I can build a frame in c30mins now.

So slightly less time than you keep them? 😉

😆

30mins is a loong ride

Back this weekend with a mate from the club Hora - riding with some other forum, MTB Britain Christmas ride or some such nonsense 😉

9.30 somewhere around ladybower

"From personal experience I'd say the latter (famous last words, eh? ) - best climbing, d/h capable bike I've ever had (as you know, there have been one or two )."

I'd agree, however I have never, ever seen one that wasn't cracked. Mine's now a shed ornament.

ndg what day? I might be on something 'sprightly'

200!!!

Under 24hrs reposting and lazy 2nd time aswell 😛

I always had the thought that Hora was a sprightly young thing with a liking for ill fitting frames due to excessive radness

Has Hora sold enough stuff on Classifieds to be called a Trader?

Has hora ridden enough frames to be called a test pilot? 🙂

Meh. No fun now!

Bye bye mr bigbaws....fancy registering a new login just to post that!

Mr bigbaws? What happened? Deleted/modded post?

Anybody else think that all the spendaholics on here are a bit sad?

No.

 

Hora - saturday, meeting at the layby on the right on the way up to the derwent visitors centre, no idea on pace.....

[quote=monkeycmonkeydo ]Anybody else think that all the spendaholics on here are a bit sad?
I reckon they're mostly quite happy having that money to spend. Are you sad that you don't?

Hora, someone registered a new account and posted something along the lines of "Is it just me or does Hora look like a paedophile"....I thought that it was a little ott if I'm honest! Perhaps it was Elfin-he has previous 🙂

We'll be pootling round there on Sat. Keep an eye out for a battered black Hemlock and a slightly less battered white El Guapo being minced...

Err I drop a few hundred on something that will return a few hundred and you start a topic on Jag XFs as though you were considering one?

Nope. Anyone else think that worrying about what other people do with their money is more than a bit sad?

I think its all a pyschological crutch for empty lost souls.I think hora etc would be happier if they spent some money on counselling instead.They are in a state of addiction whilst the rest of you are suffering from envy.The only two acceptable states our rulers encourage.Your victims of Capitalist brainwashing.RESIST.

Druid,how have you worked out that I dont?

I think [b]you're[/b] underestimating hora to be fair. He is a complex character. The man is an enigma, wrapped in a conundrum. Unfortunately he's also a bit of a nob. Nice bloke tho' 😉

So far this year I have had an ASR-5, a Blur TRc and now a SB66c, if my current life is sad I cant wait for it to get better.

My heart goes out to you stewartc. That sounds tough.

I dont think Horas a knob.I read his posts about his background and life.It made me wonder if all this pointless consumerism him and others are taking part in is merely a cover for deeper mental health problems.I think the many bike(crack) dealers who enjoy and encourage his posts are merely making matters worse.Let's face it a £500 bike would be fine for what 99% of you do.But the greedheads need you to be dissatisfied in order to make big profits.Its all about the Fetishism of commodities.

So, did you get the Jag?

I reckon a £1000 car would get you from A to B in pretty much the same way as an XF.

Any of you bought a jag on credit?Seen any good credit deals about?

Oi, don't you go trying to fix Hora; he's what the rest of us use to make ourselves feel better.

You do realise that I buy all my frames secondhand and up until recently my XTR mech had been on every bike that I've owned since 2002. My Saint cranks (edit-replaced last month as the crank arm fell off) had been on my bike since 2004. etc etc. The frames and forks change- the most recent forks are £250 sale ones as everyone is scared of Mazzorchi 55's. I've very good at frame-swaps. The difference between me and others is I verbalise what I'd like alot- but isn't that bang on topic on a bike forum? Verbalising what you'd like is different to actually buying. The last brand new frame from a dealer was back in 2009 - even then it was new old stock (a £650 Blur 4X). So am I 'stupid' I don't think it lost much when it came to sale.

The Jag: I'm not picking but the majority of fast cars bought and driven in the UK are bought and driven by people who have no clue about their potential. Yet there will be a Sparkie or delivery driver who could drive the nuts off the thing with class. Do you yearn to be an automotive wannabe/All the gear? Don't begrudge another mans toys. Enjoy life huh?

Just chill. Lifes too short though, in your nursing home -what will you regret?

Like a lot of folk life is stressful for me- I come on here to be a bit of a dick, joke, relax, not to take myself too seriously. If you come onto a forum all stiffly/uptight and confrontational - what is your life like?! Chill for ****sake.
