    why?

    do you have a singlespeed with mud tyres?
    thats the way forward imo for winter hackery.

    my photos are of a very high quality, but i doubt many shops would accept them as currency.

    why? shits and giggles. got a SS but its a kona A FS jobbie… also have a 29er with a rohloff which i could run rigid with mud tyres.

    but i want a CX too. cos it looks fun 😈
    plus i reckon it'd be good for round where i live, not too techy trails and quite a bity of road.

    based on my experience – you will buy a CX bike, never take it off-road and then it will get stolen

    I love mine. Livened up my commute no end and done wonders for my fitness.

    That ^ was the bike that got me into 'cross (and then back into mountain biking). It was reviewed in Cycling Plus in 2004 (?) and I fell in love. Never had enough folding to buy one though 🙁

    Got this instead:

    Joe Nation I know what you mean I couldn't afford on back in 2004 and always wanted one, got the chance of buying this one off on-one earlier in the year. Great bike I love it though it does spend a lot of time on the road. Your Pompino is nice though must be one of the first I've seen with gears.

    Mine's an almost entirely off-road machine, apart from tarmac to and from the trails.

    Mine is the cheap one (£750 I think) 'cause it needed to be under £1K for the bike-to-work scheme.

    Mr Flash, what's going on with that saddle? Are you time trialling on that bike or what? or are you just lessening pressure on a LOT of tackle?! LOL

    6 foot – probably something like a 56, maybe a 58 or 54


    (60cm Dolan, I'm 6'5")

    I'm 5' 10" (although I have VERY long arms) and I ride a 56cm Genesis Vapour.

    It's on the larger side for me but it makes it very stable. I ride a 55cm road bike.

    ok, so a 56cm would be about right?
