If you hate this forum so much (as you have publicly stated on other bike forums), why do you keep rearing up and posting a load of drivel?

Probably because he knows he doesn't have to reason with someone who is unable to take on board a viewpoint different to his?! I'm sure that would put me off wanting to argue. Seems pointless does it not?!

I wouldn't worry Barnsleymitch. You're onto a loser here I reckon.

Lynch mob mentality at its best. You can always rely on STW for the righteous few to shoot down anyone who dares voice an opinion slightly awry from their own!

If its a cycling specific one youre after, PBK were knocking theirs out cheap. I love mine!

I just had a quick (very quick) look the other day for a mate who is after a set. Didnt seem as readily available as last time! I'm sure with a bit of effort you'll be fine!!!

Sounds to me like youve just justified it to yourself! I got mine from Wheelpro, but he doesnt seem to be selling them anymore. Where have you seen them in stock? (the SPXC3 model, as opposed to the 6?)

Ive got SPXC3's – on ZTR rims. Been absoloutely brilliant. Im only 11 stone though – around the 70ish kg mark. That aside, ive been thoroughly impressed with them.

sounds like your typical, 'run of the mill' landlord behaviour. Experienced that many a time. With holding rent usually gets their attention though. Tossers.

Not a patch on a V8 landrover burble!!

Jesus. We need those adverts. Now.

Next to the lighting centre.
Failing that, pretty limited in Newcastle itself!
Edinburgh in Byker I guess.

I think I might be getting confused with the rocket thing that was closer to Newcastle on the southbound side of the carriageway. Red and white with some type of advertising hoarding next to it i think……
Sure thats gone now though?

Thats not there any more is it?

haha – "tenting on leaving the pool". An absolute classic. :lol:

brilliant as per usual!

3hrs 6 here. Much easier than last year but throughly enjoyable. Some nice ST as already mentioned. I had it in my mind though that we had to do that climb again from the bottom of the road section. Kind of a shame it wasn't in again I thought – always thought it was a good, honest climb – a real shake down! Brilliant day though. Had a feeling Jebb would win it.

boonen?

gruffalo soldier – it's not too bad on the national park website. Says sunny spells interspersed with heavy showers, as opposed to the BBC's predictions of constant rain! I'm going with the National Park one…….
Will still be an excellent day!!

TJ has the response he wanted AGAIN!!

Pipedream 600 I think in a regular length. It says max user length (no pun) is 6'1. Ive certainly never felt like there was only an inch left at the bottom of mine!! Highly recommended though. Problem is theyre out of stock at the moment but expecting them in anytime soon. Sign up to their reminder and they send you email as soon as they arrive. Top service from there as well. I'm sure if it was too short they'd swap it for you no problems.

hora – :lol:

Alpkit range is spot on. Im 6' and theres plenty of room – decent price and better than a lot of more expensive ones ive tried.

TJ just loves a good virtual world political ding dong! Sometimes I honestly think he doesn't believe in half the stuff he states and is merely doing it for the reaction!!

Interestingly, MB said last night that he doesn't see himself as a cyclist – more of an adventurer. It did take him some time to say that though after beuing questioned by a member of the audience!!
I certainly wish I could get the funding he has to do something like that.

Mark confirmed last night that both record attempts completed by others in the last few months have fallen foul of Guiness rules – for whatever reason. They never disclose why apparently.

That guy on the blog came across to me as a complete drongo. He referred to Beaumont as something he scrapes off his chamois (paraphrased)!! I'm pretty sure he has no reason to call him that other than he had a decent backing for his trip. Perhaps thats what becomes of you living in London!!
I agree with reading alternative perspectives – in this instance, I have read enough of his perspective to confirm him as an angry, bitter, twisted muppet, who I'm glad has come up short of the record.

midlifecrisis – that blog you posted the link to. He comes across as a complete prat. Has he got a personal vendetta with Mark?

He's definitely not arrogant in the flesh. I guess that spending 6 months on your own makes you a certain kind of person!

Not that much wet mud last year – the whole place is prettty stoney. Ill be running with speed king up front and a smaller volume Mountain King on the back. Probably.

Barca2 – I though that but apparently it wasn't verified by Guiness World Records for whatever reason. He's still the fastest round the world!!
Definitely is the round the world beaumont!

Yeah that looked nice from a distance! What was it? Couldn't make it out! I did like the look of his Koga though – especially the Rohloff hub!! Got me planning my own…….

Its around 2 hours including a short break then he answers a fair few questions from the audience. Well worth going!!!

Good event. As per boxelder, cramp was claiming plenty of victims!
480 odd entries again although didnt really feel like that last year. Hurt at the time, but well worth the effort.

I rode K'Tree last Friday. it was deadly quiet and I rode the red and black as a continuous loop. Thought it was absoloutely fantastic. McMoab is certainly not easy but brilliant fune nonetheless! I would like to see someone ride it without dabbing at all!!

Name and shame. And then email them the link to this thread.

Increase the cost of cigarettes by ooohh, 200%, then put the extra revenue that generates in to reducing fuel costs. Or, try charging reasonable amounts for public transport. 290 odd quid if I wanted to go to London today from newcastle. I don't know how they have the nerve to charge that. Plus, that doesn't even get you a reserved seat.

He's doing alright for publicity! His attitude boils my p*ss though.

Prime candidate for culling.

Balls to that.

I'd make it a shootable offence. Or at least a good tazering. Disgusting.
