So I've stopped shaving, I've started lusting after a ti hardtail, even considering running it SS, I'm the wrong side of 30, how long before I get a job in IT? Should I go the whole hog and get a 29er?

What has this place done to me? It was all ok until I started looking at the bike forum!

You'll have to get this bike, ride it and realise what a load of bollocks is spouted about SS, and then go back to a normal bike. And shave.

as long as you don't get a job in IT anything (even being an attentionwhorenicehmongeringelitist) will be excusable!

Get a job in IT and you may as well kiss all you social skills goodby and start thinking about your World of war carft account and how much you fancy the digital Lara croft as she understands you more than a real woman ever could 😉

Ride whatever you want to. Just don't grow a beard and take wacky photos just to join the try-too-hards that seem to lurk around these parts.

Barry I've never lurked around your parts, that is a outrageous slur and I demand satisfaction! I will get a local ragamuffin to deliver the challenge to you. Shopping bikes with nice baskets at dawn that'll settle it

I have a feeling I know which local ragamuffin you'll send. I'll be biding my time, watching, watching...then - like a tiger, I will pounce.

I use a stubble trimmer and only shave for (rare) meetings now.

I want a ti hardtail. I've spent the same again as my bike cost on upgrades.

But I still don't want a 29er or a singlespeed...

hmmm, tonight I may just have to drink some niche cider and contemplate what has become of me. I find facial hair is a very good prop for a contemplative mood.

I'm sorry but offering an young hairless pussy for sale is just plain wrong! Are you gary glitter in disguise? 😉

once again the level of singletrack sinks so far beyond good taste it's unbelievable. Shame on you all, you've warped my fragile little mind 😕

Horseshoe mustaches are the shizznit for singlespeeders of distinction.

That's it I'm going to GHD my body hair. It's nouveau-niche!

GHD's tend to overheat and cause burns. I'd be careful TSY, as you may end up walking with a comedy stylee if at all goes a bit wrong

*shakes head at tazzymtb*

Nobody ever said being niche was easy.... and making myself look like a 'no hair there sphynx' seems far more risky 😯

Riding in sandals is comfortable too, cough cough, so my err, [i]friend[/i] says.
I've also heard that rigid forks are the way to go too ...

You can stop working in IT eventually too, although you don't ever say that you have 'given up', just that you are not working in IT [i]at the moment[/i] ...
