    Hi I think i brought the tandem from nbt for me and at the time fiancee, it was quickly stripped not because it was needed but its what i like doing, and has then been used for around four rides most fun one was scaring my son down our local trails.

    Due to a split and now a house sale if anyone is interested i need to get rid asap and would like it to go to someone who will have some fun on it if not ebay it will be going on soon but prefer to let some one on here have it.

    Anyone wants more info let me know.

    Will be used as I agree she might not take to it, over the years got rid of things that would have been great just so happens I cannot find anything now, typical.

    Hi thought I would update this after what has probably been the best week so far on our bikes, we would like to thank Welshfarmer for his offer of staying at his place via air b and b and are so pleeased he offered it.

    The whole area is just amazing and his place I would recommend it to any one of you who fancy visiting the area, lovely and clean and just what you need to base your selves and just enjoy the area.

    His farm,family and “The squirrels nest” have been just awesome and I was upset to leave but will 100% be going back, over the course of 5 days we rode BPW (first time), Dirt Farm (first time and just amazing), FOD and also managed a ten mile walk around some of the nicest scenery anywhere, also rode across some ridge lines which again was a epic adventure.

    Thank you everyone who posted it was time well needed with my son and has made me really think about work life balance and how I got here. (see posts before).

    Hi thanks for all the suggestions, its just a van for transport not a campervan, I did have all camping equipment but gave it away.

    I think the easiest way to put it is my relationship of 23 years broke down  (2 older kids)  and now I am left trying to sell my house that I thought was my forever home and try and rebuild my life again at 47 and a lot of that effort is going towards my son who is my world.

    He is just finishing exams and then going onto farming apprenticeship so I guess my time with him will be limited, hence a two week lads holiday but as most people find cost is a option so I guess it might be stay at home and big days out.

    Never done anything like this before but last 18mths have been rough and my fitness has taken a dive and my belly taken a boost in size, need a kick up the arse so lets do this.

    I am absolutely gutted and they won’t do anything, rubbish few days son broke his wrist, brother rushed to hospital and I lost my engagement ring down a airport sink.
    Bit upset I have lost out on 3 tickets at a total cost of £138, couldn’t even give them away either at such short notice.

    Expected better customer service in this day and age and has tainted the place we was looking forward to visiting.

    Yep bit poor really I understand they need to make money etc but I have tried ringing loads and emailed them.
    I would be happy to reschedule to October anyday in half term but I just had a short sharp sorry no go you can change names though.

    They must know that is not going to happen so they are up 3 tickets, not cheap either.

    It is looking like a really good all round bike and maybe not the best climbing bike but overall a good balance vs spec and money etc.

    Hi joined the facebook group earlier and it seems that lots of the frames are creaking and cracking around the bottom bracket cups.
    It seems the inserts into the carbon frame are failing, would be happy if this was not the case but something I need to look into more first.

    Hi thank you for all the replies,
    The evo was probably going to be too much bike 90% of the time and after regreting selling a giant anthem advanced 27.5 with 120mm front travel, 110mm rear I started to look at similar bikes.
    My son wants to do some endurance races together and was hoping this would be the perfect all round bike, but perhaps I am wrong ?

    In no rush at all and need fitness to improve before committing to racing again but need a bike to do it on as only got a levo sl at the moment.
