[Closed] Show Us Your Next Bike.

brave man indeed.

Going over to the dark side!

I take it, the SJS test ride was a success

I've got an uncle john frane downstairs, and a load of bits arriving next week 🙂

No pictures but having my Dialled PA resprayed for 2009, and a couple of new components should be ready mid Jan.

Dibbs.

No mate we only went to SJS to get some brake levers for my Gryphon.

Amanda's still not been on a tandem yet.

And I've only been on one up and down the road.......

Looks like we have a lot of learning to do then.

Rode one of these at the Rutland Water Demo Day earlier this year

Thought it was a fantastic bike, so if things are not that tight next year…

ssstu, been down that route
rode with my daughter and wife.
not very successfull.

ton.

sssssshhh.

Amanda might hear you. 😯

managed llandegla and dalby red routes with the daughter.
i do not think she pedaled much.

1 good point is you can climb the steepest of inclines at the very slowest of speeds.
i found this very usefull.

Ever since reading the ST review then reading other stuff out there, I'm keen to give this a try...

For many not an obvious choice but being more a 4inch travel or hardtail rider, it would be quite a change!

I decided I needed a little more travel as my FS.

Gears are now on it BTW. Test ride is tomorrow.

Long grass is protecting the root structure from the frost nicely, thanks.

possibly give up the Ti HT's for a lightweight build of this :

[img] [/img]

hmmmm, good question.

i just stripped down my intense 5.5 and popped the parts onto a yeti arc frame, so now i'm scouring the sales to find the bits to build back up the intense (if anyone sees a craking deal on some hope hoops 5.1/am4 and pike air 454 please let me know).

for a totally new bike i'm in a quandry; i really enjoy doing some road miles on my cross bikes and always wonder what a pure road bike would be like, an s works roubaix appeals, but i can't justify the cost at 1.5k or so just for a frame. so i'm tempted to build up a yeti arc-x with more road orientated gearing than my s works tricross.

then again during the stw downtime last week my interests wandered and after seeing the silly money you can pick these up for these days i'm so tempted...

[IMG] [/IMG]

I know what you mean. I'm keen to spend my bike money on an urban tiger fireblade and I get to keep the sv1000!

just got one of these for £750

[img] [/img]

Still not decided yet, but it could well be this!

[img] [/img]

Also considering the 08 Meta 5.5.2 and 08 Kona Dawg Delux. Not yet got any budget for a new bike so it could just mean putting some Maxxis on my Caldera next year.

[img] [/img]

Finally arrived 🙂

[img] [/img]

not telling...............cos i might just change my mind.

My next steed....

[img] [/img]

Now half complete with forks, cranks and gears etc.......

I have changed my mind since seeing this 'dale at the top of this thread on MTBR. Just off to harvest a batch of fresh organs to pay for it. 😈

I have one of these in the way

[img] [/img]

from [url= http://www.progressive-bikes.co.uk/ ]Progressive Bikes[/url]

singlespeedstu - is that pic out the front of JD's?

When I finish building it in the next few days, one of these (TLR take note - shall be riding it while I wait for the Nicolai to come back from Germany)

[IMG] [/IMG]

Something like this where I can use it for work.

[img] [/img]

or On-One Ti456 ... if I spare cash after the credit crunch.

Just waiting on my LBS to get one of these in for a demo 🙂
[img] [/img]

Then I need to start clearing out some old bikes to pay for it, oh, and the cycle to work scheme.

[img] [/img]

I'm saving up for one of these

Probably splash out on tsome new forks too

And maybe an XTR groupset 🙂

[img] [/img]

$1600 From Chainlove.com Should arrive on thursday... now I wish it would stop damn snowing!!

[img] [/img]

probably that .....unless someone can come up with a 29er i can get a similar weight on and a similarly snappy ride ... and no i cant get a scandal as my shop doesnt deal with 🙁

I have a Nomad and a Summer Season. I can't see any reason to "upgrade" for quite a long time. Unless the marketers get cleverer or the massive find the next "must have" big thing that will improve my riding and enjoyment by umpteen percent.

Either one of these;
[img] [/img]

or one of these;

Either this

this

[img] [/img]

or this

[img] [/img]

probably one of these

or these or maybe the slot dropout scandal.
[img] [/img]

I'd like one of these:

[img] [/img]

Won't be everyone's cup of tea I'm sure, but at £411 (bike to work), it's a ferkin bargain! 🙂

[img] [/img]

Hoping it'll save my back!

Edited because linky don't work.

[img] [/img]

Not ridden yet due to brake mount requirement (and I know I need to shorten the brake cables). Oh and pedals are on order.

Was supposed to be this, but someone beat me to it 🙁

[img] [/img]

Don't see the point in paying £1800 for the new 5 spot when you can get a complete Iron Horse for the same money.

Cross Check. Soon to be finished. Fixed/ SS. It's taking a while but it will be completed soon. Rob

[img] [/img]

Not sure why as it is hilly round here and none of the pubs are very far away, so makes no sense, but i want one

This for my little lad's birthday.

[IMG] [/IMG]

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

I don't know why, I just want one.

Just going through a design at the moment and here's the first drawing although there's been quite a few amendments to this.

[IMG] [/IMG]

never mind all the numbers, are you really going for yellow?

😉

No! The colour isn't going to be yellow!

The seatpost's a bit long innit ;¬)

It is but as I said this is the first drawing, since this they've taken all my measurements both of me and my 2 favourite bikes and are in the process of changing a few things and I've specced a different fork that's been modded slightly for me 🙂

No picture, but my next bike shall (subject to domestic authorisation) be my mate's old track bike.

For riding on the track, mind. None of this fixie kid nonsense for me!

(And I'd quite like a CX, too.)

I've specced a different fork that's been modded slightly for me

Travel limiting kit fitted by any chance..... 😉

Ooh, snap sheldona!!

Mine is hopefully in the paint shop this week!!

Just built one of these.

with white Magura Thor forks, and other bling bits including a Ti spring. XTD shock feels pretty rubbish at the moment but I have it on good advice the take a LONG time to bed in.....

Seriously considering one of these...

2002 S&M mini dirt bike

[img] [/img]

Just accumulated most of the parts for a period correct build. Pulled the trigger on the NOS frame order last night and checking my account today the headset, b/b and brake lever have been despatched but the frame is showing out of stock and order still active . . . I now have maaaajor parcel stress 😐 Just praying that they have unearthed one from the warehouse depths and that it's winging its way (was in stock when I ordered it).

[i]puts another beer in to chill and polishes heavyass antique (well they are 7 years old) parts . . . again[/i]

one of these, hopefully turning up in the next week or 2
[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

just for cruising around on

[img] [/img]

...or not...!

[i]Show us your next bike[/i]

I can't see that far into the future. Whatever it is, they don't make em yet!

Sheldona, those angles aren't right are they?

Next bike...

Stu maybeeeeeee along with reducing the A?C down 25mm 🙂

Nickc, No, I've since given them the dimensions from my IF that I want this new bike to feel like 🙂

Still in the design stage at the moment so looking at 8 to 10 weeks before I get to see it

mini bike!!! want one now after seeing hairychested

just ordered one of these
[img] [/img]

and when i get back to england i'm going to order one of these
[img] [/img]

Clunker, ditto.

Thinking about going for one in vanilla white.

delivered today, pedals, light brackets etc fitted tonight, skinnier mudguards needed - first ride on friday morning (2 days snowboarding first!)

[img] [/img]

Track bike for me.. it's the only thing I'm allowed since I've got most other biking options covered.

Maybe one of these - but only if a bargain comes up and someone wants to buy my Blur 4X for good £ (so not likely really!)
