Having been off the bike for the past 5 years due to babies being born, Hip op ,etc, etc, etc. I thought it was time to get back out on the bike. Looking around the web and found this site. So saying a quick hello, I don't need to know what tyres for taking the kids to school or what stem for a pub run , I ride an old 2010 hardtail with old skool 26" wheels , still a few bits missing but will be built by Friday. Then off to Haldon for a few weeks to get my body back in shape .
Welcome to the Jungle!
Thanks tiggs.
Thank God - thought I was the last fat bloke with 26" wheels!
Finally another fan of hip hop.
Wilkommen, fellow 'un-hip' person.
What did you have? Mine were bilateral hip arthroscopies to solve FAI issues.
Seems to have worked...
Welcome back, ur now officially off the wagon
Another fat bloke with 26" wheels here and I'm not even riding mine at the moment.
Welcome aboard!
Being fat and riding a 26" hard tail is the new niche. Gone are beards and single speeds. In is fat and 26" wheels.

WHAAAT!!
What happens if you've got a 26" SS hardtail and you're a bearded fatty?
Welcome bud

You get cat aids... the good type
Laughs at "Old 2010 hrdtail", my newest MTB is from 2004.
Welcome aboard, help yourself to the rum.
Wait! There's rum?
Excellent!
OP, is your bike grey? If it is, be wary, The Pinkster will start stalking you. He's like that.
Welcome!
*raises cap*
E'ening guv'nor.
Welcome
Some one with a big wheeled bike will be along soon to try and convince you they are the future.
I'm 26"
Not yet convinced 🙂
I'm 26"
Isn't that a little uncomfortable in the trouser department?
I don't need to know what tyres for taking the kids to school or what stem for a pub run
Someone will tell you anyway.
Welcome.
Ola!
I got a free pair of flairs with my hip replacement 😀
Portly and 26 inch straight steerer here too
Flairs? [\spellingnazi]
They did light the night up 😳
26" bloater here too (although I have got one 29er for local rides as there's nothing to bend the wheels on round here).

This is a flare. They light things up.

This is a flair. It's a bike trick.

This is Binners. In his flares.

My small apology of an ironic joke seems to have passed you by CFH
Oops.
But, look at Binners there, doesn't that make it all worthwhile?
Most definately, he must have huge bicycle clips 😀
he must have huge bicycle clips
Euphemism?
did cross my mind whilst typing but those tight trousers hide nothing
