metal gang bang.

Speak to the place you bought the fork..

or these guys

FORKin happy importerer type people

Split it.

Keep the stuff that is useful to you.

Nice picture..
take everything with a large pinch of saracastic bastard and you'll get the craic on here.

Oh, and never call your trusty bike a steed as someone will post some wee for you to add to your shoes.

Most annoying is the weld that comes loose in every single mavic 717s and proceeds to click and rattle at certain speeds.
50 quid a rim complete with nervous breakdown everytime you go out, or ride faster so you can't hear for the air rushing past your ears

No accounting for taste is there girls.

It looks wonderfully fit for purpose to me.
Enjoy.

Considering m and s will fit you up with a linen suit for less than 100 which would do the job i would head down that route.
Failing that, john lewis do a machine washable lightweight beige suit which would be smart for 160.
Perfectly adequate for the job.

Simple tie, and shirt sorted.

Balls..
will just have to buy it instead.

Brill idea.. and i know it's a cliche but you'll actually improve your technical abilities..
The first time you nail something you did'nt think possible on rigids you'll officially be a riding god.

I tend to stick to cheap cassettes, cheap chainrings, cheapest possible chains.
Don't really feel i can justify the bling.
I'm just gonna forget to maintain/be too lazy/ to look after it properly.

It's not a kona, it was originally a Claud butler Rock from 04 ish.
So read that as generic taiwanse factory frame :)

Rides nicely though.

Looking good..
the little guy doing ok with the bike? :)

And yes, the yellow was by accident..
Originally wanted a day glo yellow. Got a call from powder coater to say the powder must have been contaminated, so, just asked them to do gloss yellow.
I'm very pleased with the results. Oh and the nicolai is a beast!

I was after a Striking colour.. think i may have achieved this..
local powder coaters did it for me. £30 notes.

porn

well done crc.. have some Koolaid on me.

I reckon its actually for that crime against fashion of a shirt the fella on right is wearing..

but yes. bit harsh.

Do what you like with your sticky out bits long as they're not in my face.

I'd run an eskar on the front in a 2.3.
sorted.

Yep.. as mr cynic al above says.. it's par for the course.
How often and how do you ride it?

We don't actually know what the other is saying. Mostly it goes on body language. Seeing as most men can't express themselves in words alone anyway it does'nt really matter.

Usually a series of grunts followed by "two pints of the guest please" does the trick.

Propose now.. life is short.
You must care about him enough to contemplate it.

Rode with a guy once with university who had one. Was beautiful looking bike.

Can't believe someone would'nt know what it is .. *pace*

The one that porn website uses..
where they pick up white trash at supermarkets.

The seats seem to do all sorts on that one.

But in all seriousness S max is a brilliant vehicle.

A zafira will also be excellent, and has many fans on this forum.

"Brakeless dildo coming through"

I've got some of the new stuff.
Running 44's on my mountain cycle.
They're taking a while to bed in.. really constipated before you get um moving. Scotland trip in july will be when they truely get the chance to perform.

I think the La Chouffe cap makes them work way better though.

Ibis ? you mean you steal some Jewish guys credit card and use that to straighten the wheel?

too much grease.
barely needs any at all.

put up with it..so long as the wheels still reasonably true.
i'm guessing the walls have folded in slightly?

I'm a clumsy bugger and for a while ran 717's on both bikes.
They did'nt used to last long with me riding.

form follows function.
not a bad thing as such

The bike on the left is my mates absolutely ragged trance.

Pikes, burly wheels that sort of build. Bit of a trail centre hero type

PP Hill Climb 405 Iconic Film

always ensure when doing a mid ride wizz you don't do it in the middle of the trail

My set of black hope mono minis are 4 years old.
Only just had big bother with one the other day.
The lever has come to bits.
I shall rebuild it and get another few years from them no doubt.

hammer/gaffer tape
Thats what i did to my last ones with windows.

Nice job..
i've just had my commuter frame sprayed a nice public transport grab rail yellow.
Looks great with red anno bits.

Charge duster i had weighed nearly double the zaskar it replaced..
It rode better on all round trail rides than the zaskar so i soon forgot.

Brilliant brakes.
Lad local to us has a sam hill fan boy spesh downhill space shuttle with the latest saints fitted.
They're amazing, although, the servo wave is not for everyone.

Are the frames shipping with multiple decal options?

BLOODY hell thats good for a grand.
