before this morning

and after

on one barry white

Cove Stiffee 2009:

The frame is an Ebay "bargain" bought for £90. I know it is a gamble buying second hand carbon but it seemed like new until I started thrashing it. Forks are R7 Platinums. Weighs in at about 22lb.

New forks and front wheel 😀

on-one 456 summer season

Cotic Soul 2010

Recently bought a orange P7 – see a couple of threads back, but the frame was too big for me – felt like a tank (stand over height was the issue).

Stripped the P7 frame and sold it on, bought the Cotic Soul (medium 17 1/2 inch), finished building up earlier today.

First ride tomorrow.

my pig from earlier but with a bit of a facelift

I want in on this, how do I post a pic on here? Apologies I really should know this. Thanks

That Cotic above looks quite tidy. I've recently finished tranferring parts from my Epic onto a scandal frame. Just needs a white seat post clamp (to go with the white brakes, forks and saddle) and it'll be done. Looks better in the flesh I think. New flat XC bars on the way too for a better racing position and to save a few grams.

My P7 Pro before I put proper riser bars on it:

I went to flat bars on my Zion but changed it back to risers last night:

Don't laugh at the tyres… I was cycling to work

Here's my two penneth, now with Rebas and Middleburn cranks.

My Yeti arc

Maybe not quite what you'd expect, but this has been my most commonly used off-road HT for a while now…



This time of year he's usually on CX tyres tho' …

Does this count? Arrived today 🙂

got a real bargain; building into a really budget fun 456

My On One Summer Season…….

Seen that photo somewhere before Bigbloke………

witty name that is very nice

Crap pick of mine from today.
It was bought as a stock GT avalanche 2.0 to be sued as a rigid road/commuting/shop bike but as usual this went by the way side 🙂

Rode today on its first off road ride and felt ace (in the White Peak) – nigh on perfect for the terrain – road/off road/road/off road ad infinitum.

Spec is now as follows:
Avalanche 2.0 frame
Recon air forks
FSA XC 300 wheels and spesh tyres (for now)
Truvativ stylo cranks and gxp bb
Raceface ride seatpost and charge Knife saddle
Truvativ stem and syncros bulk bars (Ritchey foam loc ons)
XT front and rear mechs – deore shifters – sram 970 cassette
Stock Tecktro Aurigo comp discs (for now)
**** bros Acids pedals

only just posted this in another thread. ah well..
