Hmm you know Alibaba is in the midst of has completed the largest IPO ever.

I agree wih the idea, banned in all public places indoors or out.

I wonder dogmatix are you pushing this adgenda to satisfy your own prejudice. I asked on the other thread, are you a UKIPer?

Yay! Smash the commie state by buying up cheap Chinese carbon! Do your bit for the repressed worker!

Exactly!

Its a illogical argument, the reverse of your fears will happen if we buy direct. By buying direct, we raise living standards and hence wages in chaina, and all these jobs will come back here, where the difference in price will just be the shipping.

These protectionist fears are perpetuated by the middle men because it is better for them to keep living standards and hence wages cheap in China, so they can carry on exploiting their willingness to work for naff all, and our willingness to pay through the nose.

Cant get bandit 26’s that easy.

strengthen a communist regime. I question how right that is

Ahh this is about some ancient idea of reds under the bed, the west vs the commies?

Please accept my apologies dogmatix, I was just havng a cheap shot based on your name, which is a little obvious..

A huwei is what most of us ride right now, it’s just had its price inflated by a middle man.

A friend swears by TIME X-roc-s[/url]

dogmatix is being dogmatic. I think he is just a troll.

Oh thats bollocks, you are just making this shit up based on your own fears. Do you vote UKIP?
My hubby works in engineering, since the recent cost rises in China (mostly due to wages), many of the previous offshored capabilities have now become viable to onshore again back here in the UK, and this trend is rising. Globalization is a good thing, equality for all, otherwise we are just happy to carry on buying tshirts from primark for 99p on the back of some kid getting paid very little.
In reality Hong Fu make more money out of selling to us direct than they do supplying SC and the like, so its better for them. All power to them.

When was the last time SC or any other company gave a moral fig about us the customer? Never. So why should we care about them? As long as its legal and possible we should go to the lowest bidder, and make all the others think again about how they are going to serve us better for our money. Thats what capitalism is all about. Competition.

Bah, what drives conditons are the demands of the people. It’s too late for china now, its already open, their wages are rising all the time.

The reality is that SC and the like are just ripping us off.

The free market si the capitalists idea. I’m not going to get sucked into believing protectionist bullshit.

Keeping the business in the west is just really about keeping the big men rich.
Read this clicky

So I don’t care where my stuff comes from.

Indeed, my hubby has a Mega Tr and has been dead happy with it, apart from the squeaking.
684 quid.

CRC clicky

I like this, but I fear Brant is right, a bit steep. Any idea what it would be like with a 160mm fork? Could we persuade them to slacken it out?

ok found it.

sounds good. Need more details, travel? 142?

Blimey I would go for one of those carbon all mountain frames. Group buy?

If I died first, I would want my husband to find a new partner as soon as possible. Loving someone is about wanting them to be happy.

Jamie is that last scene there with the cop and the blue car from Blue Ruin?

thanks

My father in law accidently curled one into the lining of his battered Barbour on a boxing day shoot.
Mrdbcooper does the most disgusting great stinky things I have ever smelt.
Mine are colourless and odourless.

have emailed you

My OH is a lazyoverworked boy and he gets bitten a lot.
Time to start banning naughty time.

Hmm waiting on an order. I guess he must be ill or away.

No need – “They” already put it in drinking water and seed rainclouds with it.

That was my attempt at female humour/irony, I am saddened that nobody got it..

Or has anybody received an order or communique from them in the last few days?

My conclusion from this study is that the rationalist are driven to anger and hostility by the ability of conspiracy theorists to defy logic, ignore real evidence and constantly confirm their own bias. Fair enough. I daily have to suppress the desire to handbag a chemtrailer, I’ve resorted to putting bromide in his tea.

Fasthaggis v good.. I thought it was wonderful. Really really good arrangement.

Myhermes. Cheap, will collect from home, work, yor ou can drop off at any number of newsagents etc.
You need to accept that its going to take 3 days, because that is all that they do, but my experience is that they always deliver in 3 days.

You could use DCS who offer a next day service for 3x as much, except that in the small print it is not a next day service. And they have shitty CS, are rude and basically I would never ever ever give them my other halfs money again…

Husband claimed for a mobile phone screen last year, this year some companies declined to quote for a renewal. Which is a bit of a scare.

make the videos private, then only people with the link can see it, and turn off comments innit.

Hmm hard to find, what about KS lev integra also in 31.6?

Wow lucky cyclist!

I keep thinking it was featured in midweek mini movies last spring/summer…
Oh memory.

Thanks trailofdestruction, thats not quite it.The jump is enormous, shot taken from the bottom of a rocky/forest drop thing where the rider is doing about 300mph goea overhead and lands 60yards away mid berm, dark forest, tall trees more like TheOtherJamies link.
It was spectacular, not just good.

Everyone slates myhermes but I have used them 3 times this month without issue. Max 120cm lemgth, 225cm circ <15kg. up to 250 comp is about £13 all in. drop off at a newsagent that has their service or they will collect for 50p more.
