I have a saracen Kili flier.

I've got a broken one of those in the garage. Completely cracked all the way round the seat tube, just above the weld to the top tube.

I used to have one of these (well the frame at least). It was rubbish.

I also have a broken kili flier in the garage Mg variety.
I broke 2. Chatted to the Saracen guy at the Bike Show and they did offload the whole lot to a chap who ebayed them one by one over several months. I sold the 3rd Mg replacement as new and it had a flattened top tube to reduce the stress point where it met the seat tube. Like Realman - my two frames went at this place. The latest ones might have fixed it - I was just twice bitten.....

Heh heh, that Diamondback looks a bit like my Switchblade...

When the Saracen breaks (assuming it will) I'm going to see if it burns. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I have a Nicolai singlespeed, though it's a Argon CC rolhoff version it's without any guides as specced, I think the only one in the UK apart from the stolen one it replaced.
(up for sale BTW)

'98 GT Bravado (Reynolds 631 beauty, most parts original, still rides amazingly)
custom geometry Sinister Ridge (FTW is a legend)
Sinister Gruitr (4.5" - 6.5" for long days in big mountains and general misbehaviour)

my big bike is an Orange - I couldn't justify going any more niche than that when the Orange is simply *so* good at what it's designed for. Though it is due for replacement next season...

Can anyone give me a plain english instruction on how to post pictures on here??

Anyway, my bike, an 07 front with an 08 rear so it doesn't go snap like all the other 07's did!!
See very few of these around, i love it. It went to the Alps again this year, it was the only bike that stayed in one piece!!

I've noticed Nicolai's getting alot of stick recently (from the lower echelons). I have the pleasure of being aloft a Helius FR and I flipping loves it. Only ever seen one other FR and a CC on the trails.

raleigh rsp100 - had it since i was 16 and use it for commuting/pub bike/touring/shopping bike now. had it locked up next to an uber trendy fixie outside the pub last night which made me realise how uncool it is in fashion circles especially covered with old no fear and mbuk stickers and panniers... glad i decided to stick with it tho instead of getting a langster/flyer which i was toying on replacing it with and deciding to treat it to some new gears and cranks instead ๐Ÿ˜€

In the nichetastic world of tandem mountainbiking these are relatively popular. I don't think I have ever seen another on the trails

For a couple of months it was the only one in the country. Now there are two. But I think its going to get more popular in 2010
