OK, been working hard and think I deserve some new shiny.
Made up my mind on a Cotic rocket. Moving parts over from a Canyon Nerve AM.
Is it crazy to buy a new FS frame when it's unlikely to be dry again for 6 months?
I know I'm in the wrong place for sane advice but c'mon, whaddaya reckon?

cant you ride a bike in the wet?
Don't know where you live but the only dry 2 weeks riding I got this year was in the Alps. Everything else was a varying degree of swamp like symptoms...
It's only a set of bearings 🙂
eh?
i dont own a hardtail, both my fs bikes with gears and everything work fine in the mud
a 'winter bike' is for tarts
Debating the same myself. But after this summer, I cant imagine the winter will be any worse!
Just GFI!
Its been a damn site dryer here for the last two weeks than it has been all 'summer' . Get it bought, and go and get it muddy, you big jessie 😀
a 'winter bike' is for [s]tarts[/s] blokes dreaming up excuses to smuggle another bike into the house, under the radar
FTFY 😉
Just bought a shiny new FSer to get muddy! off to Aston Hill on saturday & PORC on sunday gonna be a cracking weekend!
What's the difference between summer mud and winter mud?

Summer mud is wetter
I knew I came to the right place for spending support. 😀
Our work is done... Now go spend your monies! avast ye!
Just ordered my new Stumpjumper Evo so definitely the perfect time of year 😀
And yes winter bikes are for tarts and yes I am a tart.

a) are you suggesting that summer is any drier than winter?
b) my FS is 5 years old and has been ridden year round without needing a single bearing change in all that time (just a few shock bushings at a few pence each).
No
Bought an ASR5 on Saturday
I'm so pleased about it that I'm just looking for excuses to tell people, and this thread was ideal 😀
I christened my Anthem the other week on it's first ride, was pissing it down and it came back caked in mud. A good time was had!
Cheaper now than in the Spring when everyone is buying shiny new bikes, surely?
FEED THE PET!!!!!
it's a great time for a bargain..

ease your conscience by buying a spare set of bearings up front?
