only fear of being associated with you radoggair 8)

Great bike – very comfy on longer rides due to the less racy riding position, builds pretty light and great looking with the usual Lynskey weld and finish quality.

Mine is built with Ultegra SL, Hope Hoops and Planet x finishing kit.

I do but no recent pics :oops:

Did you hear about the prawn who went to a disco….

…he pulled a mussel.

My M&S renewal has doubled since last year and now due to the AXA underwriting I cant get an online quote as my house apparently now lies in an area at high risk of flooding/subsidence. Incidentally, Greenbee quoted me but it was £58 more than M&S.

I toast mine too and apply the butter very liberally. I started toasting as we always have an emergency loaf in the freezer that I wasn't paitient enough to let defrost.

I also like malt loaf and custard a la microwave……mmmmm

Moving from your current location to Glasgow – you are mad! Plus you will have to commute on the M8 8O

The secret drop of doom at inners, or the double black shore at GT?

Suit you sir…..

This thread just keeps getting better, convert beats up young lads and old men – way to go hard man :?

I replaced my old Xen with a Giro Phase – seems to be better ventilated but just as well fitting.

TZF, why not have the day off and show us round Gypsy Glen?

For the purpose of jimmy's decision making:

Will see you there then J :wink:

This must be a contender:

DG, there is a new red option at inners thats great fun and avoids plora and the old climb is a bit overgrown but still very much useable. Inners also offers the option of cutting onto the Southern Upland Way for some superb riding if you fancy something a bit less 'trail centre'.

Radoggair make that possible +1 a defenite 8)

Jimmy – You know a ride will help revitalise your motivation to study !

Just as I would expect you would say the Nicolai is better :wink:

Out of interest why did you upgrade to a CCDB?

TLR, having previously owned a Helius FR and now a DW Spot, I can safely say that the Turner has a much better suspension action.

If you could rewind your life…….you wouldn't be who you are today.

Do some research and you will see they are not just a fad :roll:

You could also say 26" wheels are not as strong as 24" wheels…..

Spares are hard to come by….?? Rims and tyres are pretty plentiful now.

The advantages of having a big wheel really only come into play on a rigid bike when there is no suspension to help roll/overcome obstacles and they are less agile & slower to roll – how do you work that one out?

I think 29ers are a bit of a fad – Definite troll

I like that – very smooth. Those Force levers look neat too with the hidden caable routing. Deffo need a nice carbon post to finish it though :wink:

I bought a 2008 unit 2-9 in the sales for £380. It really is a great bike, some of the components are pants, but the geometry is superb and it is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

If you used a raised chainstay design you wouldnt need to cut the frame either.

mainly because i've always grown up

No you aint shorty!

"well built hunk of a man"

As ever Radoggair, your description of me is perfect. No wonder you will be pitching a tent on Friday :wink:

Would Stans 355s on Hope hubs not be more comparible to the Rovals in terms of weight and width?

They are harsh and for the cash you could buy titanium or a pretty nice steel frame.

I did the 3 litres once……and learned my lesson.

Old Nicolai Helius FR ran nearly 2:1 on the shortest travel setting too.

Orange st4?

Pretty big in 29er form.

Good idea! I was thinking of running the anti turn washer on the drive side over the top of a chain tug (suitably modified to accept the torque tab).
