You don’t need Quattro unless you track across muddy fields regularly, and are keen to spend loads on fuel and additional servicing costs, a 2wd diesel audi or vw with winter tyres on will be just fine, I have an a4 avant and its superb in every way

Just swapped over my mk 1 superlight to the 2010 frame, stiffer yes, lighter, yes but only marginally, still rides like a superlight and looks much sexier with the curvier swing arm

Spent 300 on a pair of leather lined wellies but they see daily use and are sooooooo comfy, also will last many years.

A day at the races.

You’ll need a 29er specific stem needless to say……

Wheel size?!?

40k is comfortable, 70k is very comfortable, from experience. though I do have a small mortgage no credit card debts or children to pay for! And the missus pays her share too, we also drive old bangers but have nice holidays and ace bikes.

should add that my initial pm experience came from my consultancy background managing design projects but moved into working as end client PM managing contractors on construction projects to get more site experience and to be honest its what i love doing, couldn’t go back to a full time office job now.

Moved away from consulting to project management 5 years ago and it broadened my horizons, i am a cvil engineer and now work all over the world, doubled my salary in 2 years and find work much more stimulating! Much more opportunity out there if youve got some pm experience.

Yes buy one, a specialized allez will be just what you need

Gonna stick with ios 6 for a while i think for my trusty ipad, not really selling ios 7 to me this thread!!

I heard that hanging the bike upside down stops fork seals drying out over long periods of storage time

For 10k you could get a noce defender 300 tdi for offroading logging etc AND a secondhand estate car of your choosing, for bike lugging and stuff best of both worlds, and what ive done for the last 3 years

Mac all the way

Is a 110 defender county no good? Or a late td5 disco ?

Second the santa cruz bullit, thats what i have as my DH bike, not that its been DH for the last 5 years since i last hit the alps! Still its there ready in the fleet for when the opportunity arises, probably worth 600 quid if i flogged it on eBay

Currently working in Oman at the moment where its equivalent of 20p litre, so of course everyone drives everwhere in 4litre v8 land cruisers doing 9 mpg, so i guess affordability does play into people decision making. Also in the omani press yesterday i read an article about car accidents here being one of the leading causes of death and disability, not to mention the effects of air pollution. So I guess in the uk whilst 6.30 a gallon is what we pay, it certainly falls short of the true cost to society. Not that im anti car, but i think the bigger picture is often forgotten when we chose to drive our cars.

Took me 8 weeks of physio beofre i got back on and even then only gentle rides
