I love weddings. In fact I love them so much I have had two of my own. To Mr and Mrs Hobbs I send the traditional cry of “How much”, beloved of FGF readers all round the world.

This is also a rad mountain bike

I still can’t see the word “rad” in an article without scanning up and down the page to see if it’s a windup.

Does the head angle on that Sonder look slack because we are used to seeing suspension forks with dropouts in front of the stanchions?

Did you read the guardian review of Blackbird? Was a great piece. In fact it made me glad the film was made just so an actual artist with some talent could write such a funny polemic about it.

In a way, it is amazing that Flatley is able to fulfil a 12-year-old boy’s fantasy of being a secret agent, with a 12-year-old’s idea of what a secret agent actually does. The acting and writing are like the non-sexy bits that come between the sexy bits in a porn film made in 1985.

🤣😂🤣
Review here, only 1 star.

…not to mention a bunch of offset built into the crown

Rice people! But AXS stuff

Yeah! Drink at your desk Fridays are the best 😉

Interestingly* ‘rad’ means bike in German.

* Yeah, actually I’m sticking with that.

Hope you and Tanya enjoyed War pigs last week (no video?)

“It’s just a small bike. What harm could it possibly do?”

We’ll, let me tell you. I organised a 2 hour work team building session at Manchester Velodrome BMX track once.

We had one broken wrist, one broken finger and a Tibia, (which a participating paramedic was sure was just a big bruise, it’ll be OK in a couple of days). Obviously this bloke then developed a DVT below the cast and was on the sick for about 6 months.

I got threatened with dismissal should I organise any such stupid shit in future. 😁

You might to check some of those deals before you post a link.
The dropper post at Tweeks link goes page not found 404, is actually £710 and they won’t have any for two months
The dropper post at Sigma is the XPLR version which is cheaper than the one you have here anyway
The GX Eagle upgrade on e-bay is from Italy so has import tax implications I think

Bit late to this one but I can highly recommend a fully rigid Sonder Frontier with 2.6 Maxxis Hookworms as a great crosstown commuter.

I’m running mine with On-One Jeff bars and it’s brilliant 😊
