Well no; however I thought you showing reverse snobbery to carbon frames and suggesting that they were the reserve of the Surrey elite based on their price.

five frame, CCDB coil, Fox 36 RLC…

Not much cheaper than a

carbon nomad or mojo hd

though is it?

enduro s works 2013 cc db air and $4000 with a command post. But you can’t buy em in the UK.

Fair point and no I haven’t.

Calm down hob nob. Yes there are people who ride bikes faster than other people. I was asking questions not making statements. I should have put a ? in there where the first . was.

But S-works enduro is pretty much the same in terms of travel as a mojo hd 160 and has a slightly longer tt and slightly slacker ht and a slightly shorter rear end which I would say gives it slightly better geometry.

Doing it right is harder. But, well…

This made me laugh.

Who said Mojo HD two pages ago?

This or a Nomad. Great bikes made by companies who look after their customers.

I think that the geo on the mojo is not perfect and neither is the nomad c. Also don’t Nomad C crack at the seat stays?

S-works enduro is the perfect bike/frame regarding geometry but you can’t get them in the uk.

For that kind of cash i would be buying a frame and building up my own bike

In fairness for that kind of cash you should be buying an s-works enduro frame and building it up….. but oh yeah

My helmet is sore this morning, is it still ok to use it ?

Go to your local GUM clinic.

As of about 6 hours ago, he has

I value sleep more than watching tennis. Heard it on the radio about 5 seconds after posting. Huzzah; I am very excited by tennis.

Murray winning a Grand Slam?

he hasn’t yet has he?

an old mate reckons all cars should have a spike on the steering wheel to improve concentration

Your friend tells some cracking jokes I bet he is a fungi

To the OP, the big difference for say pro cycling and tennis and many other Olympic sports is that the Olympics is the be all and end all so once it’s over there’s nothing else to train for that season. That’s not the case for pro cycling.

Is that why team GB men’s football team forgot to actually turn up to the Olympics?

But in fairness if you were to break down the hours per day working then look at it you would probably be more like 25 days of the year working (this is not my real opinion).

So you can just put 650b wheels in any old/new frame then?

F1 drivers to be sportsmen/athletes

Don’t a lot cycle as a form of cross training? In fact is cycling not used as a form of cross training for a whole heap of sports? However isn’t the only cross training cyclist do cyclocross?

I have a team replica madonne but it cost me £650 second hand so I feel that I must take drugs at least on a recreational level to feel like I am doing the machine some justice.

In the spirit of helmet thread speculation I’ll speculate that if he had been using a mirror he could have avoided the truck hitting him altogether by swerving to the nearside, if necessary off the road. I’ve done it myself.

Yes but however uncool you look with a helmet on you look quadruply uncool with a mirror on you bike; and lets face it its better to die looking cool then to survive whilst having a mirror on your bike.

imnotamused Strange way of justifying your purchase but kudos for openly being so unpleasant.

the British hold an Olympic medal above pretty much anything else.

The FA cup?

Footballers suffer cramp due to spending most of the recovery time between matches engaged in intercourse with glamour models getting drunk, smoking, taking coke and glassing revelers in night clubs.

Do other athletes work as hard as cyclists?

No other sport has as long a competitive season except maybe tennis. Though if you lose at a grand slam in the first round you don’t have to keep competing.

All your bike-park features – table tops, jumps, big berms everywhere on wide fast tracks that are a massive ugly scar on the countryside.

Firstly the jumps at a lot of trail centers are often awful, lips to steep and high for the length of the jumps so you have to squash the hell out of them; or two mounds meant to be a double going uphill. If they are going to put jumps there the people who build the jumps should be able to jump so that they know how to make it flow.

Secondly a lot of the berms are in the wrong place at trail centers making them completely useless anyway.

In essence they should build all the features you don’t like but only if they are going to build them in a way that works.

Is Kaesae an individual or an organisation?

He is some form of hive mind

I cannot bare to even own a TV let alone watch one!

But you own a computer and watch YouTube videos and peruse the internets; as though that is somehow better?

which were valued at 2.5 times what I paid for them blood diamonds.

I almost claimed his soul for myself till you spoiled it

Sorry. I just didn’t think; how could I have been so insensitive to your needs?

But does it make humour more funny as well?

Would be interested to know if Jinya rides clipped in or not.

He has those pedals which are spds on one side and flat on the other side. Just so he has the best of both worlds like.

Which doper will win today?

Swift? 😀

Enjoy your scribbling

Same to you sir.

Have you got a mirror nearby?

Don’t look in a mirror that is how they control you.

No they are repentant cheats which is better than an unrepenatant cheat or a cheat who still denies it but not better than someone who has never cheated.

You are right ^^^^^^^

That is still a straw man you are posting

Nick Nobel when will you end the omerta? Once you admit what you have been doing cycling can become clean and we can all hold hands forever.

Looking at You tube videos is not research.

I think it the most effective way of researching.

Admittedly by this I mean researching the epic fails of 2012 and other years should you feel the desire.

Long forks on hardtails are gash

is incorrect then?

Nope; it is very much correct.

I speak nonsense– its intoxicating

Same here.Though I think I am more of an irritant than an intoxicant.

Flirting with older women in my office. Love it.

Solo speaks sense. It is refressing
