I think it was Oscar Wilde who once said “The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.” Jezza in controversy shocker, just as his new DVD comes out…..

Some good builds there BenjiM…

Get over to britmodeller, it’s a great forum and there are very knowledgeable posters on there. Itwata are very good by all accounts.

That Pronghorn is gopping…

@ Monogramman… what was your experience with Surpluss bike bits? I nearly brought from them this summer.

Wearing mine right now… I’m ex military, working with the military, training them before they go out to theatre. I’ve got friends out in theatre currently and I’ve had friends injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. The friend injured in the ‘stan lost both legs at the knee. His recovery and attitude is nothing short of incredible. I wear mine in honour of those that have sacrificed everything both past and present.

I lost my HTC Touch 3G during a house move and had it replaced with a HTC Hero. I was quite happy with that…

I remember the Ti road bike they made years ago, the Vitamin T (I think) that was rather nice. Do you think they got a job lot of those chinese carbon frames off e bay??

Weasel.

Satellite Communications…..

Be proud of how you created and birthed a dreadnought. Insist that your sister takes a look at it….

Keep the ML (fellow Maverick owner here!) get rid of one of the hardtails but keep the bits to convert between geared or SS?

I’m on a one a day anti histamine and have been for several years. I use the Tesco one pound for 14 tablets.

@JEngledow Have you changed your washing powder or softener? It may be disagreeing with you….

@Turboferret… I’ll e mail you a bit later, cheers!

Avoid the Intempo RDI. I had one and it suffers from a known component problem. It died a bit out of warranty and they denied all knowledge of said problem and wouldn’t help me out. Now using a non Dab Klipsch which is very good.

@Dezb I’m sure he did… cracked at the chainstay?

Count me in… Mind you the last time I did a STW Swinley ride it was very cold or very wet and WCA broke his frame….

I have an app on my phone for running called Micoach. It uses GPS to get you running at differing paces. The program tell you when to run faster etc. It uses a voice coaching system and by would you believe it you can have Victoria Pendleton as the coach…

I feel their pain…. My RC plane is still stuck up a tree. I stoofed it in last thursday and I can’t get it down.

Great thread! I’m nowhere near as fit as I should be and this sort of thread is inspirational. I was once told that summer races are won in winter. If only the winter was 25 degrees and light until ten….

YHM matey!

I’m an ex crab who currently works with all branches of the UK military. Having seen how the Army operate I doubt they could the job any better given a limited budget, aircraft past their best and the volume of cargo on the air bridge.

Believe it or not the Crabs don’t actually cancel flights just for the fun of it or to inconvenience contractors. Just think it’s another days worth money tax free…..

As a Maverick rider I’m not best placed to comment on looks….

Newer Santa Cruz bikes with the sh*ting dog style top tubes.
Jeff Jones
Whyte full sus bikes
Marin full sus frames

I had the bottom of the range shimano pedal and didn’t get on with it. Felt like I got hot spots with them.

God I used to lust after one of these…. six inches of rear travel! It was cutting edge in the day.

It was my first Mayhem, The course was tough but why should it be easy? I had the pleasure of having to go first and the run wasn’t fun but the traffic would’ve been far worse on the first lap if it was shorter. The mud in places wasn’t fun to ride but there you go. The climbs were tough but I got a huge amount of satisfaction from beating them. The last downhill was a blast, yes it was rutted and grassy but it’s not like you’re riding around a trail center. Its a private estate, what can you do.

I’ll be back next year, fitter fast and with the same stupid grin on my face.

Thanks to all involved with organising. I had a great weekend!

Nothing wrong with Mavericks, I love my ML7. Now Jeff Jones, he does make an ugly bike!

Pics and name please!

Good- It’s not just me then. I’m sure there must be some reason for my apathy but I can’t work out what. It’s even getting to the point where I’m tempted to buy something new and shiney for the bike to make me gout out and ride therefore justifying the new part.

On the site where I work we had a woman who worked in the admin department. She was no looker to be honest but someone found pictures of her on a ‘specialist’ amature website. Several of her naked but the most popular one was one of her legs open showing her klopper. Going by the shaving rash she needed a new razor. She worked on the site for a couple of years after the pictures surfaced blissfully unaware.

We used to go by the name ‘Turn left Ayrton’

Countzero- I can recommend Skunkworks. I read once that when Ben Rich (Skunkworks head man) was on his deathbed he said that they were working on aviation technology 50 years ahead of the time. He died in 1995. Have a look for a book called Dark Eagles as well.

I was in your position last week. Contract was up for renewal. Thought my Hero was an excellent phone and wanted a Desire. Orange offered a Wildfire or a Sony X10 mini. I phoned up asked for my PAC number, when asked why I explained and lo and behold I got a Desire. It’s an excellent phone by the way.

Try the Craggenmore it’s lovely stuff.

Received mine this morning. Perfect condition! Thanks to OP for the heads up. Still can’t believe I got a £150 pair of sunglasses for £33!

Pedal on gets my vote. Spent far too much in there in the past….

Heard something on radio four about this earlier this evening. It sounds absolutely shocking. I think they’re dabbling with something similar in blackpool.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve not thought about seeing a physio, I’ll be asking my sister (a physio) about that one. Bloody shoulders!

Just you, opens up for me….

If you do go ahead with your build make sure when you ride it there is always someone following you filming your ride. Then when the wheel fails you can then send the tape to You’ve been framed and then spend the £250 on a v brake compatible wheel….
