Where?

Newcastle bikey recyly place. [/url]

Chances are it'll do everything you'd ask of it..
changing the components around would mean you got past any spec compromises it already had.

Newcastle has the same sort place..

great idea and also brings more people to the two wheeled world.

just give it to someone you ride with…
or…

give it to recycabike..

Stay at Malthrone in Mabie forest.. up the fire road.
cheapish and no nonsense.

Bunkhouse /camping [/url]

the answer is sram gents.. so my mates tell me (xt running fine for over 8 months on knarbike)

Its all about the money.

common fix is a durex. Don't bother with flavoured..
the spring does'nt care.

was there last week…
also did Ae, Kirroughtree and Mabie.
Cracker of a week.
Bike is shagged though… my 44's are dead.

bastards.
I'm down the coast on the newcastle side of the tyne…
I'll keep my eyes open.

give the guy at the shop a slap..

Cheap frame… poor ish finish i suppose.
There is a ridge that runs round the tube..
and 15mm insert depth sounds right.
the insert area is slightly tapered where a cup presses in.. which in turn holds bearings.

Love mine though. Excellent cheap hardtail with decent geometry

I've got a rock frame which is nearly identical to one your describing i think…

That ought to fit.. the standard model.

Fit it with a plank and a hammer as i have many times to this frame.
It'll be fine.

man the f up.. i.e. just go to the pub with teeth in tact.

Surely the geometry has a greater influence over the ride quality than the blingtanium quota.

You, me, a bottle of rum. one on one.
It could be magical. how about it bitch?

Hmm odd one.
I'm normally a 47 in anything italian yet of my 11 pairs of different styles of dm i have 12's/13's and 14's

so i suggest try some on first.
Go into Schouh and waste their time first.

They're a G width, and i usually buy them snug with a cm ahead of my longest toe.

just leave um. They'll be fine.
In our riding group we operate an "it'll be fine" policy. It's known as bareback bike maintenance between us.

Essentially if something does'nt stop the bike rolling it'll be ok.

Rag um use them as intended, only replace csu if you really really need to.

Hahah mixed brands upsets the bike tart-facist brigade.

I was busy writing my hollywood screenplay in starbucks when i happened upon this thread.
Most entertaining.

Run on the rear.. add some speed.
use something thats a better all rounder for front.

Started the night with that by the trailside with my mate….

Rode this..

and ended with this…

and this.

No bull, honest realistic pricing. Good phone communication.
Maybe a text when bike is ready to pick up/parts that have been ordered.

Always carry simple everyday stuff.
Cabinet full of ready to buy bling.
I.e. always have an xt chainset in stock.
Sometimes you need to be able to buy one.

Wheel building/ or employ someone who can.

Keep it up..
had similair health concerns myself.
Take it easy.. i.e. walk before running and eat and sleep well. Don't over do the beer for a while.

I'm with epic on this one.
Bodge it..
if you do it again maybe then its time for the bin.

Local guy has pikes lowered.
Run at 60mm for dj/street and general poser duties.

I can find out how if you wish.

working in a department store means i've always been tempted to ride into the building sometime.
Escalators, walk ways and slippy floors to ride over, then a carpet department with rugs for trials circus trick tomfoolery.

buy it.. it'll clearly make you a better lover.

hmm..
i try to dress fairly low key for the commute, i save the socks with "****" on and the kerrrrazy jerseys for rides with the lads.

Utter genius.
Only in Britain…
not tittles – just a tribute.

I take it i'm not alone in thinking high and mighty commuter heroes are tools.

I could have lamped the bloke who decided it was a good idea to cross the road in front of a big motorbike this morning. Lad on big touring motorbike was lucky he managed to stop safely.

I was within a few feet of him for about a mile this morning.. very little regard for his safety, or anyone elses.
Just plain selfish, as bad as the crap car drivers.

if you go to the likes of the bars on mosely street and appear to have more than a tenner you'll be popular with the local slags who have ideas above humble stations.

Avoid anything orange in ill fitting shoes.

Buy it, if you don't get on with the frame flog it to me for ten pence then use the kit for another build.

FURY owner :)

Woody – its a gusset saddle. Bought it from ed cycles.

However it died a month after i got it, the rail snapped.
Shame. – back to the boring brown spoon again.

Surely it's a Kinesis catalogue frame? or will it actually be designed by dmr?

Betta blast.

plus one here. ….

One potential problem with long term pain killer use is liver damage and also dependency.

Meh i did some boss level mince when i was last in Scotland.

The lads mock me for it because they know it bugs me.

To be honest your not alone. Don't worry about 'looking cool'
I'm afraid none of us do.

Lush.
It looks like you've got some fantastic memories to call upon when you feel all hope is lost back in your 9-5.
