better off sticking with the usual suspects..
kidney 1/2 watt light or the usual Cateye stuff.

go and buy something else.. and get a refund of deposit..
or buy one of the ex demos.
How much deposit did you pay?

Cheap thrills and sorted geometry.
And, because i object to paying more than 300 for a frame.

mine was a whoops purchase from ebay as an unloved frame/fork combo due to being too small for previous owner.
I love it.
Long road rides, offroady stuff, touring and trips to the pub.
Done it all!
Great fun.
I probably love it more than my mountain bike truth be told and it’s worth bugger all.!

I know that junction, you usually have to wait for about 10 buses coming the other way so bikes are often expected to sit in no mans land waiting for a gap in traffic.
The speed limit along there is 20 also. The guy in the Punto is clearly an ass hat and deserves his next bowel movement to be full of glass.

The top car park is intended for those who shred the knar for five mins then have a rest and repeat for a few hours.

Having run Eskars for nearly 3 years i’ve just bought some Purgatory tyres.
2.2 folders.
They feel fast, and seem to have a little more grip through kitty litter relative to the eskar 2.3’s with the same wheels at 30 psi.

i shall be watching this thread with great interest.

Presses the same anti snob buttons as the first gen Citroen Berlingo and vehicles like it.
I like the idea of something cheap and functional. The On One inbred of the car world?

I suggest posting him a wee in his shoes kit.. i.e. the diy version.
A small bottle of your own piss and serving instructions.
Enough to dose a pair of size 10 Loake shoes in an f fitting should be adequate.

Have you sought the opinion of a trusted local bike shop yet as opposed to all of the arm chair experts on here?

Probably something to do with the paint finish..
it does seem to stick to mud rather well.

It’ll be an ex Audi company car driver. They’ll be used to a push button handbrake.

post this on bike radar if you have a logon also.

It provides great entertainment. It means more people look at me with disgust on my flat pedal equiped, ugly gas pipe tube singlespeed roadie thing.

Pompino singlespeed with v brakes and drops.

I’m on a day off today.
I’ve already been out on the single speed roadie and proceeded to kill another free wheel.

Once I’ve had a cup of coffee I’m gonna head out again for a ride on the mountain bike.

been there done that.

Riding home in a foot deep of water on the pompino while leffe’d up last weekend was fun.. and today i’ve been out on the mountain bike in axle deep mud.

It’s far more fun at this time of the year as you are not cold.

Another LHM user here.
I think the stuff I’ve got is Total branded left over from when we had a hydro-pneumatic Citroen.

accidental double. whoops.

Slowly getting used to this.

Ride to work on something crap that works well. Then chuck a kryptonite new york and a cable round it.

To the OP..
I recognise that view… the bottom end of Holywell. It’s rare that bit is ever dry in places.

They look lovely in a “look at my new bike” thread, but, in reality you cannot beat black grips.
I had a set of specialized grips actually post themselves by air mail to get away from the handlebars.

generally the sektors get a service every 2 months or so.
If they get a week of riding or a paticularly grubby day out then i bring forward the lower service

This seems to keep things sweet.

I find the modular nature of shimano kit more time efficient.

In the 4 years i owned my Mono Mini brakes i spent a lot of time swearing at them.
I have hands like shovels so pissing around with circlips and seals is low on my list of favourite jobs.

all running 34mm means less parts across the ranges.
in theory.
Should make manufacturing cheaper.
Which makes a lot of sense.

Ah you got the same headset press as me.
Chances are the trees were close relatives.

tends to be taxis who have a main bulb off running fogs in fair weather

Scott sold a bike remarkably similair a few years back in the hybrid range.

It’s individual thats for sure.

bettablast plus one..
easy to get to off the a19 in the northeast.

Thats the job they did on a pals bike.

reason i ask.. work bonus is burning a hole

only the 15″ which they are probably discontinuing.
Damn On-One style cheeky price to entice.

3 bikes some other STUFF and 5 adults.

shysters in every walk of life..

how much are you down as a result?

Have you been in touch to tell him they are shagged?

some people are reasonable/rational.

Great value for money.
The damping lacks the precision adjustment of some other forks, but, they’re great point and shoot forks.

I’m 14 and a bit stone with kit, the standard spring is a tad soft on my standard 150mm uturn fork.
