I think this is what you are looking for

Sorry to hear this. Do you have any pics of the bike?

Would love to try an SB95 though.

POSTED 16 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

Bought one today after test riding it and absolutely falling in love. Bikes have always been more of a tool to me until test riding the SB95 today. I have never felt so confident on a bike before.

Which was what I was referring to. Some unsuspecting buyer might buy it on the strength of that sentence.

Or its a staff bike, and they will sort you out should any issues arise.

What possible use could building up strength on one arm have?

1.9 mega pixel camera, cutting edge tech right there.

Point her in the direction of this thread and she will soon see sense, and hopefully steer clear of trying it on in the future. We need to clamp down on classified scams on this forum.

If you follow that link above through to the previous thread, and the thread before look who pops up:

Oh, the irony.

In Espoo, Finland drinking a Marsalkka Luomuvehnä Suodattamaton. Didn’t know what it was before opening and drinking but tastes like a wheat beer. I wouldn’t be able to order it sober, let alone after another couple of them.

Just made a small donation. Sorry it couldn’t be more but I am skint after having all my bikes knicked 🙁 Send congratulations her way from the Lawson family, fantastic achievement.

The barman in a pub I frequent was the boy on the ‘Guess Who?’ box cover.

Excellent! We should have a whip round and buy him a decent bottle of whisky.

Thanks Teetosugars. The local paper have been in touch and are running a piece after seeing this thread. The power of this forum eh?

I have it on good authority the Sunn may have been hawked around bike shops and Cash Converter type establishments in Ellesmere Port earlier this week. Please keep eyes peeled.

Thanks

Chris

Cheers Bregante, here’s hoping so.

Project; Handbridge actually. I’m not too sure the Police are sending an effective message that crime is taken seriously, when they haven’t even made the effort to attend the crime scene, because “there is probably no evidence”.

Thanks everyone. The little’un is shaken up, I think it’s her first realisation that bad people out there take things that aren’t theirs. She’s not sleeping well, despite the promise of a new bike!

The irony of a programme making “lovable” characters out of the owner and workers at a cold call centre – universally hated by the vast majority of the UK populous.

60% of the time, it works every time. 😉

I’d find it hard to hate someone on the basis they would rather work in a call centre, receiving abuse constantly for a relatively low salary than go on the dole. As Binners said, do you honestly think they turned down a career in teaching because trying to sell PPI claims is the better career option? I get quite a few cold calls for products I don’t want and they usually call just as the kids are falling asleep! A polite but firm No Thanks is the best method of dealing with them. Hating on them and calling them names doesn’t help anyone.

absolute, utter ****. I hope your folks are ok mate.

I nearly hit a badger once on Kirkby fell, shit me right up it did!

Last Summer In Tuscany I startled an Eagle sat at the roadside basking in the sun, it took off as I cut through the apex of a corner on my road bike very close top it. A magnificent but scary sight!

I read that as Oh the shame! Busted doing the doll

Is it time to check on hora yet?

Nah, he’ll be ok. Whats the worst thing that can happen starving Hora’s brain of oxygen?

For anyone looking to better their time, some tips can be found here:

Hold your breath
Losing weight and giving up smoking may not be realistic within the time frame of this afternoon.

I’ve got Hora to take a good lungfull of air, then I’ve taped his head up with duct tape. We’re going to try and shatter the 22 minutes mark.

Will keep you posted

Sounds odd that calipers and levers on both brakes, in seperated boxes have been damaged in transit. Your offer of £15 compensation seems fair considering there are no pads to contaminate.

Liquid viagra maybe even more entertaining.

The red and black trails are just paths that the managers of the land had bikes in mind for when the built them. No matter how they are signed and graded cyclists of any age or ability can ride them and folk can walk them. And dogs are dogs.

Your speed on marked trails or shared trails should reflect the fact theres no stripy tape and no marshals with flags and whistles making sure the path is clear around the next corner. In the absence of those measures anything or anyone you encounter – pedestrians, children, dogs, another fallen rider, a fallen tree – that you can’t readily and easily stop for is entirely your problem.

Footpaths are for walkers only. Bike trails are for cyclists only. From Llandegla’s own website 😉

There are a huge number of assumptions being made on this thread, they ain’t ‘my’ trails, and I have no problem sharing them with responsible users, neither do I have a feeling of self importance. As for the post above, I always ride within my limits and with the assumption I’m going to encounter someone or something along the trail. I’ve been riding long enough to expect the unexpected, especially somewhere with such a wide scope of ability as Llandegla. Dog number one from last Wednesday cut through the forest as I came round a hairpin and under my wheel as I was on the edge of a small drop, if it had been a couple of seconds later I would have been airborne and please do explain to me how I could have taken evasive action to not hit a dog whilst in the air. Dog two last night came from behind and across the path of my front wheel, I guess it had been sniffing around something off trail then panicked as it heard me come past and realised it had lost its owner. I don’t blame the dog for either incident to clarify, just the irresponsible owners who clearly had no control of their dog in either situation. My speed clearly wasn’t an issue Maccruiskeen, otherwise I would had hit them 🙄

As for it could be a small child, I have yet to see a three year old hitting up the table top jumps on the black trail on her/his balance bike, and if they were, I would expect them to stick to the marked trail like any other user.

Thanks everyone pointing out this has been done before, a year ago. Let me go and start a thread on something original like wheel size.

and here we go again. Good luck everyone.

Has it been done recently, or frequently? I don’t recall seeing a thread and searched. Apologies if I am going over old ground.

Dogs shouldn’t be at Trail Centres
Is that what you meant?

Tried amending to Riding with dogs at Trail Centres – Irresponsible? but missed the cut!

In Camden? He wants a big metal door and iron bars across the window of that shed.

Sensible price range, these are very good: http://www.amazon.co.uk/electronics/dp/B00001W0DI
Your idea of sensible differs from mine!
You can get some Behringer cheapy headphone monitors for about £25 but they are nowhere near as good. I binned mine.
£50-60 is a very good price for the quality. If you look after them well, they will last many years (parts are replaceable too) so if you look at it from a price per year perspective rather than an upfront one off cost, they are reasonable.

I’m sure they are reasonable at £50-£60 Captain, its just that the Amazon link you provided is selling them for £540 (plus £4.70 postage) 😀

Happy to send back issues of MBR

A Kiss Miami Deep Thought. It was an offshoot of Muddy Fox in some description. Tange Infiniti tubing, the same as the Orange Clockwork at the time, Suntour XC Ltd group set, Suntour hubs and Araya rims. It had a lovely cracked yellow on salmon paintjob. I saved half the money from my paper round and my parents paid the rest, it was a toss up between a neon yellow Marin Bolinas Ridge or the Kiss Miami, which had miles better kit and frame. My parents were reluctant to spend so much money on a bike as my hobbies never lasted more than a month, 22 years later I’m still in love with bikes. The internet throws up next to no information on the brand but I rode it into the ground. Me and my friends also launched a mountain bike team ‘Team Crud’ 😀

how far from where you sleep?

it would be in an extension at the front of the house, no bedrooms above it!

Meehaja, thats the kind of thing I have been hearing, not sure whether to implement a ‘wees only’ rule, or not bother with a downstairs toilet at all. We have an office/study downstairs which doubles as a frequently used guest room for my in-laws mainly. They are at the age where frequent trips throughout the night to empty their bladder are needed and being able to stay downstairs would be handy.

Next year we are planning a loft extension too, which will have a conventionally plumbed en suite, so this will only ever be occasional use.

Woops, wrong forum sorry!

Customer – Mine aren’t. Mine are solid.

thinking about this – did he not wonder what happened to the seatpost when it went into the frame?

It seems thinking wasn’t his strong point.

Not a bike shop related anecdote, but I was once the manager of a Virgin Megastore and was called to the floor as there was a customer who wished to make a complaint about not being able to use a gift voucher. When he handed me over the voucher it had HMV written across the front in big letters. I explained in a patient and reasonable manner that the voucher had been paid for and issued by our main rivals, and sir could travel less then 10 minutes on the tube to their nearest store where he could use the voucher. I even gave him the HMV store address and directions. Was I met with a slightly embarrassed thank you? No, he went on to moan that he would have to spend money and time going on the tube to HMV, and that in the name of customer service we should honour the voucher. I explained I could not offer customer service as technically he was not a customer. He walked off muttering how he would never shop here again! I was very tempted to point out that to not shop here again would involve shopping with me in the first instance, not giving my competitor free money and expecting me to give him free CD’s in return.

All the houses I have stayed in, in Sweden and Finland had a wet room with a Sauna incorporated. If they can do them over there why can’t they do them here? I love them, you do a quick 10 seconds with the squegee to push the water towards the drain and that is that.

Having a sauna in a house is considered a luxury here a house with out a sauna is herecy over there

Our proposed loft conversion will have both a wet room and sauna. My wife is from Suomi though! 😀
