so suggest away, nothing fancy, weird is good, the budget is around £600* i had in my heard a charge duster singlespeed but can swayed by more sensible options. I ride mostly in the peaks. I'm not overly aggressive, an almost sensible type rider, will be doing SITS solo (so looking for something that'll work there too), i like jazz, poetry and i sometimes pick my nose when no one is looking.

*totally unrelated but i put in a £700 quote for a partial rewire (sidejob cash in hand type deal) this morning, funny that. again unrelated; honest.

Pick up some cheap bits off here and build yourself a nice long travel hardtail (just happen to have a Dialled PA frame if your interested 🙂 )

You took this pic:

.......and I was 790.

Recomend a Cotic Soul - Awesome. I loved the bike in that pic(Stumpjumper), but now ride it in bad conditions to preserve my beloved Soul.

I might possibly be the wrong man for you ton, my time frame is more like end of the month and you seem to want to sell kinda now. If however I'm wrong then I'm the right man for you.

Steve, cool picture right? I wish I could claim it, my best friend took that, well she was my photographer so I think it counts for something.

Yep, cool pic. Don't know exactly how I came across it, but searching for SITS 2007 pics. It lead me to looking at some other pics you had at the time. You there this year?

Yeah i'll be there. I'm now addicted, even after last years' muddled muddy mess, which I rather worryingly enjoyed. How about you?

Yeah, I'll be there mate. I sure enjoyed O7 more than 08, but it is addictive. I'd be at MM too, if it wasn't for 2 of last years team marrying each other - on that weekend 😡 (perverts 😉 ). I'll try and get in touch, and we'll meet up hopefully. We live locally, and gonna set up thursday night next to track. I'll be putting the totem pole up again. I will remember, and message you nearer the time though.
