200 miles is not far for £800

You are not doing the wrong thing, it is ok to walk away if the seller will not co-operate. i also see his side though, I wouldn't hand out my address to a stranger who knows I have a £1k bike…
Quirrel is right, get smone you trust locally to look at the bike..

have you taken out the ebb, re greased and refitted and torqued?
i had this once and it turned out to be my headset and saddle…although it wasn't as loud as yours…

whats flatland?
They do have a cheese sound to them, first time I heard hilltop hoods I thought it was a joke and I laughed soo hard…They really are growers tho and they have cult status in australia, especially adelaide…check out the calling album, but defo cheese warning…

This is where its @, great skillz on the bike too!

Raw… fo sho…

Isn't it a total load of sh1t that these scrotes can get away with this…
you can get a conviction for being drunk walking down the street but these guys mug people and steel bikes and get away with it…
They just have no respect and no fear of the law…
I honestly think they should bring back the punishment of 'a good kicking'. The judge in court should be able to say 'I know that we can't pin this on you, but you have oviously done it, so we are going to take you out the back and fill you in for a while'
Might actually work, although a little harsh :?
edit: and well done for getting your bike back, I do believe they are more than the some of parts and this one wasnt ready to say goodbye!

or buy second hand… put a wtd in the classifieds?
could find a £200 wheelset for £100 if slightly used…

nice flowers…the grass looks healthy… :wink:

Bike looks lovely and hope she is all you were hoping for…

I have just gone for a ride at whinlatter (forgot how bloomin far away it is!). The other thing I notice with a longer air fork is that its all or nothing. No small bump movement, but then when going off drops, the whole fork compresses and trys to throw you over the bars :?

I hear you jedi…I have a new 5 spot and the air shock ain't cutting the mustard. I think I ride quite hard, but I am also heavy, and the high pressure I have to run means that the air shoch tends to lose small bump sensitivity. It also has fast rebound, even on the slowet setting. I am reluctant to spend the cash on a coil, and also the weight factor butit would solve many of these issues.

ohh yeah… I know them…

the black there is more like a blue, but its good fun

it is very hard for fox to recommend the right pressure for a fork and weight, it really is only a guideline.
The main thing is that it will change from bike to bike and rider to rider.
stem length and head angle really affect the amount of weight over the front of the bike and how much you load up the front end.
Even with the perfect set up, you should never or very rarely use all the travel and bottom out, it really is good to only use 80 or 90% of the travel

I have had allsorts in the past and have ridden most bike brands, hardtail and full sus…
The turner suspension is very active to bumps while staying rigid under pedaling power. It takes square edge hits very well and has a low centre of gravity… I am yet to get the set up right but love the bike so far.
I have the 2009 model and the cable routing is slightly different, I think the bearing bolts have changed also to allow more grease into the links.
I think you will love the up & down post and I have heard good things about the fulcrums…

Is it the fit model? If so you could lower the air pressure and increase the low speeed compression dampening, and this will make the fork softer through all the travel, but running less sag…

I love what you have done with it and hope you really enjoy the ride…
I have just built mine and she is now 2 rides old…she is better than I have ever imagined and I think they are probably one of the best bikes ever made…

Its very dry, but not the best trail centre imo…

does the material have to be mined and melted here too?

brompton and uk based!

I don't really rate it tbh…

Sounds like the best porn movie ive ever seen… the milf riding the bike, the bike mechanic has coome round to true her nipples…

I'm losing it too 8O

Trout, you should hold your head high that you have stood by your laurels…getting rid of your pace products and warning others is very cool…

big up…

ignore me too…

Buy with confidence, from a guy with 0 feedback…

mmm….

sm one should tell the poor bugger

No wonder he is selling it, I bet it handles like sh!t

hadn't thought of chrome sockets, but I might get onto that, could be too much though as the range hood, oven and shelf are also stainless…

I wish realman…its the other way round in our household…

…Are you paul mckenna? I do have stainless toaster and kettle… and now i get thinking so is the fridge and microwave… but all are hand me downs apart from the fridge ;)
theres a dish washer in the cupboard for the dishes…

your fence is much better…

fence could do with a lic of varnish/creosote…

Dude, you should try riding in australia…Over these they have a slightly different magpie, they are bigger and much more aggressive. In the spring to summer months they will 'swoop' anyone or anything which goes within about 2 miles of the nest site. often, the first you know is when you hear a loud clapling noise, which is the wings hitting together as they try to take your head off, they will actually hit into your head and try to take you out. This actually puts me off riding certain trails in the adelaide hills when I visit the area….hardcore…

I always used to take a balaclava or really nice beanie, makes all the difference….

this would do me….
not bad self

do you run a decking company?
are you a carpenter?
are you Geppetto?
I like the build, I'm building a 5spot at the momentbut its taking me a while….

ssswwweeeeeettttttt

small house, big deck! you could have like 1000 bbq's all at once…
