I'm currently looking now, it appears they have 30 days to fulfil the contract after the order is placed. As you say, probably just bad form.

And not the best cutomer service on the phone on a saturday either!

Steel is for people who can't afford titanium.
Saying that my Salsa wasn't cheap.

Steel is for people who think Alu frames are dull and titanium frames crack at the welds, eventually. :wink:

Fisher Paragon 29er (Alu)
Inbred SS 29er (Ti)
Roberts (853/ Colombus mix)
Bob Jackson Pista (853)

And obviously a Kona or two, somewhere….

I like 29ers as I'm huge, but that is FUGLY!

Are we travelling back in time?

BD, e mail me with a recent pic if you're wanting a date with a lovely, 30 something, MTBing lady. It's a genuine proposal, I'll pass your details on.

Cupid.

No need. If you're relatively bike fit.

This place is getting as bad as LFGSS :roll:

No money left for creosote then :wink:

Nope, I've always been sh1t.

Mmmmmmm Moots! that is a lovely bike.

Spot the bike snob! singlespeedstu, take a bow! :wink: One mans bling is another mans mass produced steel hardtail. I think the green On One looks great.

You're not niche you're just trying hard…. :wink:

my 69er project is just comming to fruition, I'll post pics for a slagging soon :D

Use the same wheel, take the tyre off and measure the gap both ways round. Halve the difference and there's your tolerance. Asssuming it's supposedly symmetrical.

Shold be spot on, I wouldn't be happy with more than 1mm out at the dropout. Your LBS should have a frame alignment gauge, ask them nicely.

Is your wheel straight / correctly tensioned?

Apart from kaesae being a complete cant I agree with *same time*, what on earthe are all those words ^^^^^^^for?

You want to live in the New Forest, the wood grows on trees round here :wink:

Bogies?

I didn't think you could burn wood and use a balanced flue? Aren't the temperatures too high?

My guess, and it's only a guess, is that it wll be seriously affected by the heat. What you need is the opinion of a proper scientific type person, not somebody witha mutual interest in bikes!

You could just make one and try it. Tightwad :wink:

IME 'cross canti's (inc. froglegs) are fookin' scary at race speeds… but that's going quick in the mud and rain. Quite time consuming to set up too. I guess for loaded up touring where braking is a bit less frantic they'd be ok, but don't expect masses of stopping power.

Just got some Brasher GTX's off eBay for £65 brand new. Awesome boots,v comfy, light and waterproof.

Stop whingeing. You wanted cheap forks, there has to be a compromise.

And grow a set!

http://www.cyclescheme.co.uk/ is the most flexible. I know of some horror stories dealing with Wheelies, try and get your company to go with the above. You'll have the greatest choice.

The bike I was after was in the Lakes, I'm in Southampton. No problem!

You can keep your German, Italian and anything else super cars. I'm getting one of these:

1/43 scale probably.

What a cock.

Sorry to hear that. I've been off the bike since August so I know where you're coming from. Shit happens, you'll get over a hernia.

I'm going to two funerals for work colleagues next week (both under 40)which kind of puts it all into perspective. Enjoy your time in the sunshine while you can.

I once met Nick Craig in a cafe on the top of the Glandon. And he recognised me! Thoroughly nice chap. He was cycle touring and was just on his way to meet David Millar after the stage finish at the top of Alpe d'Heuz….

Vote Lib Dem!

I'm gutted as my back is not yet fixed:

:(

There I was, enjoying the innocent jokes…. 8O :roll: :twisted:

I bet she can sh1t…..

I wouldn't run a lab too far, it's asking for trouble.

The pair at the top need to eat a cake or two….

Eccles for PM! I haven't laughed so hard in ages[/b]! :lol: :lol: :lol:

FFS, what wrong with beginner or novice, grow a set!!!

You could try 'future expert' or 'possible world champion' both of which are as ridiculous as your suggestions.

I wouldn't advise running him until he's developed. Best ask your vet when going for jabs about his breeding and suitability to run with the bike.

I'd say most breeds aren't that suitable. My lurcher was ok for a few years, ss only. Now he's slowing down a bit I'm careful not to overdo it. However, all dogs need to work. Bodies and minds. Some more than others. And being pets, their physical work is walking.

But as he develops you must make sure he gets out regularly. An exercised dog is a calm dog = great state of mind to be in around kids. An hour a day is a general rule of thumb. My two would quite happily quadruple that, given the chance!

And I forgot to say, lots of exercise. Help with being calm around the place. You wouldn't want a neurotic dog around the nipper.

And if the food is a problem, same routine. It's his food but as you're the boss you can take it when you want. Be a 100% consistent and he'll be a happier dog in the long run.

Puppy classes are essential, meeting other dogs and walking with them will all help.

He looks lovely, don't forget to post some more pics on here…

Clamp them in an engineering vice and….oh…..take the wheel to your LBS with some buns.

2nd emma82, socialise them together, you supervise. If the puppy gets at all dominant with your child flip him on to his back and make you hand into a claw and press (firm but not hard) your fingertips into his neck area. This simulates a bite telling him he has overstepped the mark. It's a bit 'ceasar milan' but it works. Better for the dog if your child can do it, but 14 weeks is a bit young!

You have to be the boss, then your partner, then your kid, then the dog. He'll be happiest that way.

And never, ever, leave them alone. 99.9% of the time you'll be ok. A friend of mine had half her face bitten off by her family's golden retriever. She would have been really pretty but her face is now a jagged mess of scars….

Not pretty? They're fugly[/i]. Stop being such a ponce and go riding!

2nd On-Ones. No bullshit solid forks at a sensible price.

Shi*mano. I have repaired STi's before but you'll generally need a donor unit and possibly to adapt some tools to get them apart. And it is a living nightmare once you're in!
As njee says, the spares prices are prohibitive, it's probably new lever time :(
