Is there such a disease as Bike-Polar?
" I reject your way of life your bastard roman mentality and inbred church hypercritical perspective."
Old priest/altar boy injury playing up then Kaesae?
I have just spent god knows how long reading this thread and what der hell is this all about?.
Are we talking bikes?. NHS? ebay?. loonies?. frauds?. thieves?. people with no maintanence skills?. stalking?. or does randomness cover all of the above?.
"or does randomness cover all of the above?."
More or less, yes.
ah ok so now it makes sense ;o)
[i]But its definatily worrying where all these frames 'come from', [/i]
I must say that it doesn't worry me in the slightest where they come from, and as several posters are apparently 'in the know' but coyly refuse to elaborate doesn't that make them complicit ??
Just loving the way KC has immediately seized the stw 'vibe' though, top bombing [code]

because you're not going to buy anyway ? Or because you don't care if something is nicked ?
and as several posters are apparently 'in the know' but coyly refuse to elaborate doesn't that make them complicit ??
I get the impression it's more hearsay than hard evidence of criminal activity. I don't think it's complicit to avoid condemning someone when you don't know the facts.
[i]because you're not going to buy anyway ? Or because you don't care if something is nicked ?[/i]
No, because I don't care too much about online exchanges which may/may not be true concerning people/events about which/whom I have no connection.
[i]get the impression it's more hearsay than hard evidence....
.......when you don't know the facts.[/i]
so typical of 99% of forum discussions then - hence my lack of interest other than as source of amusement 😉
I'm not one of them, but The Edinburgh cycling 'village' is quite small, I would imagine that there's someone who knows someone who knows exactly how this person gets his frames. What they do with that info is down to their conscience.
so any of the village people care to break cover or is all 'tappy nosey' stuff.........
hilldodger - Memberso any of the village people care to break cover or is all 'tappy nosey' stuff.........
Well, I'm one of the Village People and I have no idea what's going on.
I'm the Police Biker btw.
can i be the construction worker?
Is that a hard helmet, or are you just pleased to see me?
Can I polish it for you?
i wasn't pleased to see anyone at the end of that ride. brrrr cold! 😀

Yay the thread's alive again!
Loony does up suspect frames, sells them through the devil's marketplace, stw get wind of it and hey presto lunacy abounds!!!!!!
amongst many clunking volte faces and inconsistencies, he starts out criticising us collectively for being corporate capitalist whores who own expensive bikes, but dont have the soul of true riders, then attacks a poster (simonbarnes?) for only riding a 500 quid bike and being stupid for spending more money on a camera.
Half of me is amused by him, the other half cant quite stop thinking about the eccentric, deluded kids that entertained you at school that with the benefit of adult hindsight you realise were probably mentally ill.
I wonder if the frame numbers a still able to be read on the frames after they have been so expertly resprayed from rattle cans that are colours only ever found in the clearance bins?
just a thought....
So, is this chap really injured as he sayshe is? Check out this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140353630342
So where is he getting these frames from? How come he is only selling full sus bikes and bearings? As a true bike enthusiast surely he'd have some interest in the HT frames too?
If they are knicked, then how come he's managed to get away with it for so long? If you'd had your Spesh Enduro stolen you'd be (and the authorities/police/insurance claims inspectors I'd guess) scanning every forum and online ad like mad wouldn't you? So they may be legit. Old stock from bike shops, trail centers, factory returns, insurance claims etc etc? Maybe he's well connected having been a slave to the real world at some point in his life?
No complaints from the previous owners because they are all in the woods with the slappers.
[i]Bastard roman mentality[/i] I'll have you know I'm from Anglo-Saxon stock, thank you very much! I won't have that kind of slur on my ethnicity. 😉
That 5th Element certainly doesn't look like it belongs on that frame, the spring preload won't go any further along the thread without hitting the frame, and that's not right. It has a TF Tuned sticker on it, with a serial no. underneath, so quite possibly Tim has a record of the original owner and frame.
down the shops or off to school or your work in the morning.
Classic. Sell someone an enduro to get them in to cycling... to work.
Sounds like he's not into ripping people off at all this guy. I am glad that it is still going, this thread entertains me more than trouties lights (which I can't afford).
This accomplishes nothing. Pay attention to what’s important, we as a people are in a bad situation due to an idiotically ineffective philosophy and very poor leadership. My responses on this thread aren’t meant to make sense they're for stupid people to try and figure out. Just like the rest of this thread.
I suggest those of you who feel this kind of behaviour is worthwhile, get in about it. To those of us who can and will work together to improve our current situation, I say let’s leave the fools to it. I will judge my life on what I accomplished in real terms, not how many people I tried to criticize into living there life the way I want. Lording it over me, I think not.
there / they're / their
🙄
Read the feedback biker helping bikers and getting it done.
My responses on this thread aren’t meant to make sense they're for stupid people to try and figure out
phew! That's a relief 🙂
It is a little odd that someone can refurbish frames at a volume like Argos Cycles with no obvious line of supply.
That last rant sounds quite good if you say it in a Gil Scott-Heron voice
The revolution will not not be televised.
The revolution will be live.
and the heads of all romanesque caplitalist stw'ers shall be put on pikes for the common folk to laugh at.
He might get caught on CCTV though - harvesting his frames.
ow. that was a hell of a read but worth it, didnt have to look up at the x factor once. i wish i could contribute something close to the caliber of this thread but id only let the side down.

Odd that a mountain bike industry insider should be contacting people to waste there time at work.
MTB_crasher aka tracknicko were do you work ?
Good to have you back. Please see [url= http://www.spelling.hemscott.net/homophones1.htm ]There, Their, They're[/url].

I just emailed a likely candidate about ten minutes ago. Companies house info and all. I'd be very surprised if thebikechain hadn't done similar.
MTB_crasher aka tracknicko were do you work ?
Maybe his address is available on his Companies House info?
(Doh, didn't realise last reply was two days ago, sorry for bubbling this up again)
Best thread ive read in years 😀
What destiny for the children of fools.
Bravo!

Lazgoat scottish mate it's my solem duty to defacate all over the english language oxford or cambridge it's all sh1t to me. och eiy laddy
I resurrect this thread!!
You idiots come into my life start calling me names, nipping my tits and wasting my time. You try and provoke me and to get a response. Well if the game is to provoke and get a response I would suggest that I have provoked all of you and gotten far more of a response that you fools ever will.
Wake up call for single twack! if it's OK for me to be provoked it's OK for you to be.
Just so you know what it feels like!
are you mental?
i don't get it?
but great to have you back!
job centre closed because of the snow? dont worry, trisha will be on soon.
Attention seeker alert ❗
Medication has worn off again 🙄
Ah... STOP NIPPING HIS TITS ALREADY!!!
;o)
best troll ever 😆
he's been plotting that comeback for days.
does a section only last for 2 months?
LMFAO or something like that.
Scottish?? with spelling like
? Well two out of three isn't bad. Other than that slip you're a genius. And don't pass it off as a typo mistake in the heat of the moment NAE**** would ever try and pass "aye" off as "eiy".och eiy laddy
Keep up the good work...
The Kaesae is back, aaahhhhh, the joys of the forum.
Still am tempted to get my frame [s]stolen[/s] refurbished by him
jesus! shut up mate, you are a total bore. get on with riding/refurbishing as not all of us care about you.
why go off on one at jesus? Its Kaesae that seems to be the problem in this case..
LOL!
What a tool.
First chance I've had to catch up on the forum for a few days. I've got a coffee and a jam donut, can someone sumamrise this one for me? Looks entertaining...
Just so you know what it feels like!
pathetic - "Oh look I'm being provocative". Unfortunately, if you wish to do that you actually have to say something...
Simon - you smell.
Simon - you smell.
tell us something we [b]don't[/b] already know :o)
Glad you are back 😆
Had any dates yet?
"I am the resurrection and I am the frame tuner"

Tom I don't have a boyfriend I hope you enjoyed yours.
guido - maybe his luck has changed and he's found love. either that or he's a human coffee table in someones "playroom" with that dicky back lending itself perfectly to an all fours position.
Nipping my tits. Brilliant. He's gone up in my estimation. A microscopic amount admittedly.
Top thread resurrection kaesae. 😈
Decor makes it appear you live in a pub?
😀
Put that photo back. Seroiusly.
missed it - damn.
Did he just call us "Single Twack"?
Hurtful little bastard. 😥
"Hurtful little bastard"
or more to the point
"Huwtful little bawstard"
That pic has made my day.
My boss is wondering why I keep grinning.
I wish I had copied it to share with the world. DOH!
Sorry guys
lock up your bikes the loon returns, before they become bodged 'refurb jobs' from his secret source of frames!
I wish I had copied it to share with the world. DOH!
won't a copy still be in your cache ?
Too slow!!
Imbeciles!!!
This reminds me of the house of lords with all the heckling.
or should I say house of gay lords.
YOU STROPPY MADAMS!!!
Playground insult or offensively homophobic? Hmm. Perhaps you're a bit of both. Either way you're an idiot of the first rank.
This is almost as good as the GT Nearly New but not classified thread.

This one has heritage tho.
This is great tho-and manwells has posted his stumpy again.
All i want now is for Lee Anderson/IWH to post and we are back to the old days.
For me, the GT Nearly New was the funniest. This is slightly behind, but I'm glad to see it back.
