Shush he's away so unable to read this.
He's 5'9.5" tall (half inch is important).
Rides mostly in the Peak/s, so rocky gritstone trails.
Looking at around £800 - £1,000 without the forks.
Any ideas?
Thanks
He doesn't need any more!! Get him a unicycle 😆
Even though you are correct binners, it's one in and one out 😉
Is that just the frame for 800-1000, or everything bar the forks for 800-1000?
Soul?
Latitude?
C456?
Got to be steel, for his old decrepit aching bones, sooooooooooooo hows about a Cotic Soul or an Orange P7
* I can fully sympathise 😀
Not a Soul, C456 sounds good.
What are the Boardman bikes like?
He'll have own saddle, maybe seatpost too. So more or less everything else with the frame.
Choice was some really good quality shoes or a bike, mmmmmm scratches non exsistant beard and ponders.

Then possibly a set of hope hoops would take you to the thick end of 1k
Oooh yes, never thought about one of those (s****).
Now I *think* I'd been talking to the aforementioned NBT about c456 and I don't thing he was massively impressed.
It might have been someone else though....
What about a custom job from 18bikes. that is 1000 for a frame only mind.
Didn't someone once say that it's not about the bike?
I know, however when you hit middle age every little bit of gearing and lighter components help 🙂Didn't someone once say that it's not about the bike?
[i]Give him a Handjob[/i]
He'd probably appreciate a Pompino more 🙂
He's back from the Belgium biscuit cycling trip now, so hoping he doesn't read this thread.
Nettles - behave 😉 (I'm sending MartynS over to sort you out next weekend).

Now if that's not a euphemism for something disgusting, I don't know what is 🙂
Its actually two euphemism's. Depending on who you ask. Both are equally vile, obviously

Dirty boy. Make sure he washes his hands and scrubs his nails.
Dirty. Very dirty.
Touche'
He's had a 456, Inbred, Soul, Blue Pig from what I recall, so would probably prefer something steel rather than aluminium, but probably not carbon?
Piglet? Or tell him he's a big boy, and get him a 29er 😉
Ooops

Yea, bugger off, we're talking about you, not to you!

Hold on, I didnt know you were married to Hora?
I had a little go on a piglet at the weekend (just around the carpark mind), it was heavy man!

Sweet Jebus woman, you're pure filth!
Lol. nettles
GavinB - you forgot the ..... wait for it - Raleigh ascender.
What are the Boardman bikes like?
I love my HT Pro which fits your budget. Ridden for 2 years in the Peaks now and still loving it.
But it sounds like others here may know his fancies better than I...
The Raleigh Ascender sounds fast - what was wrong with it?
I really haven't got the time to list it's merits, you know things like having 2 wheels and a saddle.The Raleigh Ascender sounds fast - what was wrong with it?
The list would be even longer for it's negatives 🙂
Oh, and I admire your attempt at having a secret thread, whilst nbt is 'away'.
🙂
Doh!
