Grumm where did you get the fitting bolts for your bash?? is your back tyre a purgatory if so is it one of the ones with thick er side walls? where did you get that??
Njee20 – that'll be v nice, look forward to seeing your pics once it's built up. It'll be better than you're Epic simply because the Trek has got proper forks and no Brain! 😉
If the top of the range one (£5k+) weighs 22lbs how on earth will you get it down below 20lbs though??!!
It is the top of the range one, I've not actually weighed it yet, but the wheels/tyres are heavy, I'm changing them, along with the stem, seat mast, saddle, cables. I suspect it may be <22lbs anyway.
Nope, I have a credit card with too high a limit, a shop who are very amenable to supporting my whims and a brand new warranty Epic frame to sell to fund it! 🙂
I bought a nice bike in about 2004, then I've just sold it each year to fund the next one! I've not lost money on a bike sale in at least 4 years! That's maybe not great.
are you really not going to buy any bikes for a year? i know you are tying to cut back on being a serial bike swapper but what am i going to look at for the next year? could you not have a self enforced 2 week 'cooling off' period bwtween seeing something you want and stumping up the cash?
i like the new on one colours but that orange is remarkably similar to the 89 quid apollo i used ot try and put customers off buying when i used to be saturday boy at halfords.
It started as a standard Scale 35, and I seem to have swapped most of the bits over. It still needs new saddle, stem & bars. I am sure it is still heavier than njee20's new one!
Nice bike Grumm! Have you ridden it much yet? Need a shorter stem though surely?
Cheers Adam. I built it up sort of for Emilie and sort of as a pissing about on jumps etc bike for me. Not really ridden it yet though due to being ill for about 2 months – surprised you haven't seen me whining about it. 😉
Mebbe does need a shorter stem, but that's all I've got for now.
I have an itch which has been scratched but it won't be built till Saturday night.
The beer is in the fridge, pizza menu's by the phone, Spotify playlist is sorted and the tool box has been checked to ensure everything is present and correct……… can't wait 😀 😀 😀
