I am a lanky 6foot4, I ride a custom Roberts 21" and live on the edge of Cannock Chase, also have a 29er in build too that your welcome to test too.

Little icy over the past few days.

My 26er runs Hope with no issues, the 29er runs Phil Wood which I am still paying for make a nice noise like the Hope too.

My Cotic Simple:

Overspray? 😕

Go Outdoors were selling them for £8 the other week.

My old Pace RC100 was in a right state, got it sprayed in pearl white by Brian Rourkes for £75 this also included adding some new brake mounts on the top tube, sadly the prices have recently gone up but the quality of the finish was superb:

Its arrived in a rubble bag and has at least 10 years worth of rust 😥 to be honest think the sellers dragged it from the Canal. Misses has gone mad that I spent £112 on a bag of s@it

I am 6'4" 8)

Tinsy – has yours been resprayed it looks rather smart.

Was it an Ebay/drinking purchase perchance? They're always the best IMO!

Yes mate just waiting on it to arrive, been calling the wife everyday to see if its turned up 😀

tinsy, cheers fella will see what its like and drop you a mail.

Not yet arrived from the eBay seller 😥

Take care of my bikes, washed after every ride this time of year.

Went Friday and Yesterday but before that not been out for a month due to the arrival of our third Child. Been using the Turbo in between nappy changes so that has helped with the fitness.

Thanks for the helps chaps, had been thinking of one of the mju Olympus cameras, looks like its one of those then 8)

Isla Bikes – no alternative hold the value too for selling on eBay when the nipper outgrows alternatively they will px. Quality does not come cheap.

Very nice, my road frame has just gone to Jason for a respray.

Its early morning rides for me and get the lights on for the evenings, does help a little having Cannock Chase through my back door. Its what 3 kids under five does to you

mines always a mess with three kids and a wife who use it as a dumping ground, pic below of my litte corner:

Bluetones

Drop Sam a mail

Had always used Muc Off for 15+ years but like above it damaged the finsh on wy White Ind Cranks recently so now moved to Hope stuff.

I know how you feel mate my little brother went for one last week. All the best.

Go for the full scale stuff, but with some the harder plastic cars http://www.scalextric.com/shop/sets/standard/inner-city-speed/ . Then at least you can upgrade it when he gets older

Golf TDI

Cannock Chase less than a mile from my house, have spent the last 21 years riding it but still find new stuff

Tired after the birth of our third child
