clikky linky thingamybobCurtis Freeride frame, T45 tubing, speak to gary and he can make it correct for 150mm

reviewed by stw member tiger lights are fantastic value and have an excellent run time

I'm 11.5 all up sopping wet and run mine at 95psi, still not getting full travel unless it's a truly big hit

Yes

too much road for me in this route, will be out earlier too

Always rains on us in Cornwall, going to Barmouth/Dolgellau this year

Ridden with lights all summer, lets me stay out longer, Average ride on Mendip starts at 7pm and end 10.45pm.

Lights all year for me

New 20mm axle for SC Shiver currently £85 at CRC…paid £11 from LBS 12 months ago for the same thing….now thats serious inflation

in my shed

Buzz, I have no problem on bald summer tyres on mendip at the moment, it's all about commitment and momentum. Science officer can vouch for this.

Monkey wrenching, or quality allen key?

KING have used for years run buttery smooth, fit and forget

My Ti 456 should be here on monday…..getting a little bit excited now

will this work on business contracts??

I suppose i've cocked up by ordering my Ti456 ? Never mind, it's my choice.

Sold my FS Flux going back to a geared hardtail, riding the ss convinced me this was what I needed

I have that Curtis ss, 100mm as Clink already said in 853 and it rides like a dream, even now sold the Turner flux because riding it made me realise a hardtail works better for me, a truly amazing bike.

THIS WILL NEVER BE SOLD!!!!!

my screen started to melt they were soooooooo hot!

Breckenridge 400Try and find this, fully sewn in groundsheet, doesn't move in big winds.

Engraved my own dog tags at work….Sorted!

Mmm home dentistry is not a good thing, Mrs C used to work as a dental nurse. Had a patient come in 1 day he didn't want to pay to have a tooth removed, said he could do it himself, a few weeks later she see's him and finds out he tied a weight to it, threw the weight out of the window and broke his JAW!!!…..tooth still in place.

Old man has new 600mhz Panasonic Plasma, amazing picture, no shadowing, just truly fantastic imagery,

Don't forget your AV reciever, or home Theatre system though

Curtis, Gary makes amazing frames!!!!

All pictures I've seen of them are in Scotland, Peaks or Dales.

Not seen anything Somerset way…sorry if offended

White 853 Curtis just after cleaning so apologies for slack chain

work ok for me too

Look here

Rich C ….”I guess the Mendips does only have 40 minutes of good riding, if you are very quick on your bike “

Or you don’t know where the really good bits can be found!!!

I’m not joining you, be too late a start. Normally out on trail by 7am

Badgers – burrington – crooks peak – blackdown – hams…and plenty of off piste DH in rowberrow….sounds like a normal sunday for us Scienceofficer!!

Try not to promote this trail too much as your riding a SSSI. Bat boxes in the trees if you look around.

Tangent Andy C has my number and where I work, contact through him if you want to see, or Swan at Rowberrow on a thursday @ 7pm

oh nice spanner work by the sound of it!

Tangent, had a 725 SS Dekerf myself, I can confirm a vastly improved ride on the Curtis, it just seems to have a more lively uptake, in comparison the 725 felt slow and lethargic

As Dibbs says Royce and RS7 works great, torque correctly and check torque after several short rides till fully wound on then no problems

Tangent, is that Andy Chamberlains Curtis? If so it’s T45. Horizontal stainless dropouts disc only, none of that ebb for me

Ivan I have a full 853 SS Curtis, there is truly no comparison. The best £900 I have ever spent, I can ride 5-6 hours( longest I’ve done so far on Mendip) because it’s custom and all sizing is as I needed I have no discomfort whatsoever. As comfy as my Flux but only the one gear…..remember if you buy it, it will be forever.

Tried a mates 456 and totally unresponsive in comparison (sorry Brant & Colin). If your local drop me an e-mail

If your a keen cyclist,then don’t think you could run a perfect shop as you would like it yourself. However, if your a good business mind and think long term you should be okay. A sound business plan and cash flow planned out are 2 of the most important items in any business, businesses only fail through lack of cash, not by poor profits.
Keep the cash correct, the creditors happy and treat all your friends as customers, we all know how tight us cyclists are.

If your still interested I wish you the best of luck.

Hora, we regularly have feathers in the dogs mouth, and frogs left in the garden, frog’s have a tendency to play dead though and when you lift them up the buggars jump!!
