There is always the option using of a URT to go SS, probably the best way to do it I reckon, but many will no doubt turn there nose up at such a bike…

Unless it was TITANIUM… Still have the old Voodoo canzo ti hanging on the wall- would make a nice lightweight fs ss if anyone fancies the challenge..

tempted…

Got Van already.
Where are you based?

I've met quite a few of the Haldon FC bunch, they're a decent lot, just need help trailbuilding..

David, you're a star!

If you're ever Devon way, let me know, there will be riding and cake.

Just goes to show what the brainpower of STW can achieve :-)

Loving the computer already- loads faster than my old Inspiron 550 (!) and Windows 7 seems to make much more sense than Vista. This is my 3rd dell- pretty happy with them.

So it is 320gb?!

Excellent- tippex I can do!

Rode quite bit of it last night (mea culpa)

It's OK.
Quite tight, but gentle. Goes with the contour, not straight down, flows ok.

Yup the finns are fun- just been over, and yes, it is cold and expensive. Pack the thermals….

The train to St Peteresburg is great- v. atmospheric (the attendants all look like Olga Kleb from 'From Russia with Love') and St Petersburg is a gorgeous city, woth extending your stay for a few days visit!

ok- so I don't do that everyday…. but was being paid to do it :-)

top5- I'm at the other end….

This Thread needs pics

Took pics of them at Bestival last year- their live show blew my mind…

Hi CG-

A GPX file will be fine, I can edit that in Tracklogs :-). email in profile, much appreciated!

Looking forward to those pics….

Yup-

Cheers All, that was a cracking ride, great to meet more of you too- look forward to seeing the photos if anyone posts them.

If anyone who was using a gps wanted to post the route that would be magic…

Catch you all soon ;-)

illbetheonewiththesorehead….

Here's mine

let us know how the Canzorides when you got it all put together- used to love my old canzo ti :-)

try puppy linux- especially small and good for old pc's. mainly like using windows ;-)

I could be up for this- be good to ride eon the Purbecks again. Let me know where you're starting from ;-)

Another vote for NZ

did it several years ago, year off, baught a dodgy camper van over there, nursed it around both islands and rode some of the most amazing, uncrowded trails ever… would do it again at the drop of a hat

My Housemate;

-Clumps about loudly in the room above late into the night.
-Cleans obsessively and angrilly even when you're trying to eat, and even if it's just been cleaned by someone else.
-Acts as if he owns the house (he doesn't)
-Scares away potential housemates (3 months now..)
– Is much better after he's had a smoke, but then extremely tetchy the next morning.
– locks all the doors at night.
– Really really needs a shag…

That's what I want to hear!

Dave are you taking the camper van option? That sounds quite unique

Cheers Guys-

sounds like you had a good time…. now drooling…

jacasta,

just to save you rooting around in the loft;

Harry Lime: Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly

I'm 6'2" and have a 19 inch bizango- fits just fine. Gorgeous bike, as ws the voodoo canzo ti it replaced…

Anyone got one of the new Canzos?

Just put 130mm fox talas on my old style Trance- totally transforms the ride- do it!

Excellent- I seem spoilt for choice!

Cheers all-

really useful. Yes, am taking the van, so can get out and about, as long as it’s not full of the set designer’s tat…

Will have to check out Chopwell at least- anybody got any routes etc?

Qwerty,

Might be doing a few evening rides midweek – anything to get out of Devonport – will keep you posted!

Morning bump!

How annoying are the mountings for these things? lost 2 of the little rubber things already!

rhys

Sounds good- I think I may be doing the same route tomorrow… without the excess driving mind!

What’s the matter with you theflatboy?

She’s Hot!

Got a couple in the garden here in East Devon! Might get the camera out tomorrow…..

They’ll grip- just don’t expect a fast rolling tyre….

Badgers is all good- they try some new things without letting the flavours overpower the beer. I had a bottle of their ‘Ginger’ beer the other night- lovely.

And yes, I am partial to the peach one too…

In NZ the spekes beer had a summer version with lemon in- gorgeous- do we have an equivelent here?
