Looks good. Tan walls are nice but tyres are so dour these days. Tioga Psycho IIs in grey or butterscotch were the bomb

Kitchen roll = not zany. 3/10
Plastic chopping board = health hazard. 4/10
Red & black bike = anarcho-communist. 10/10

Is it not too low without plus tyres? Is it a harsh ride?
Not sure about purple grips there.

Try running more downforce

What exactly is wearing out?
2x stuff isn’t massively expensive. Saving a few grams going 1x isn’t worth having a non-optimal chainline and running out of gears

Get these, should fit if your tyres are 2.8″

It was scientifically proven that 27.5+ tyres are faster off road than 29ers.

It’s winter, get a discounted Felt Surplus plus hardtail from merlin cycles – buy now pay later

What you need is a Scott Spark

Let’s be civil shall we?
Ok great, let’s stop the keeping of predatory carnivorous animals as pets. Shows how insane society is that this is ‘normal’.
How would you like to be completely domesticated and reliant on an owner for your own existence? Yeah, you wouldn’t.

I’ve bought custom titaniums frame from China for less than I could have bought a steel frame from a UK builder. These builders are the same ones who supply Alpkit / Sonder and many others.

Care to name? Were they good tho?

or a cheapo B’Twin from Decathlon

GT Xizang – either era
Muddy Fox Interactive
Whyte PRST1

Where are you needing to find a place?

You say ‘back to 9 speed’. I never went away, rockin’ the 3*9 old skool here.

Same here

Hallelujah!

Finally some good looking tyres are back.
Just need Panaracer to reboot some Magics and Tioga to give us the butterscotch

No.

the Canyon is easily the best value with GX Eagle, a Fox fork and a dropper, and would suit the riding you mentioned. And in that blue, has the best colour.

Avoid 1x if at all possible, function > fashion

Canyon Grand Canyon FTW

Looks like a Session

Canyon do some kind of cycle to work thing so maybe a Grand Canyon https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-al-sl-8.0/

Or there’s a £1.5K Lapierre full sus at Cycle Republic if you can find it

Pace letting you choose a colour is a dealwinner for the tarts out there

replace it with an Avid BB7 and never have that problem again 🙂

Just buy an E-Class estate and sling the whole bike in

the new one is 1x only so completely worthless

ta, some of those Ted James bikes are real nice.

You simply can’t rely on political parties or figures to make the world a better place

how smashed in is that Xsara?
