All secondhand bargains for me as well. I shul get rid of at least 2 but can’t bring myself to sell any of them and Mrs Eye is very understanding about my affliction.

Classic steel MB, now a turbo slave 1994
My lovely 853 road bike/commuter/sunday special 1998
XC HT 2001
Carbon 140mm FS 2008
140mm HT 2009
Rigid SS 2010/11 – not really sure how old it is.

He’d ride your granny on that course if his sponsors told him to, it’s his job after all.

*edit due to crap spelling 😳

Is the Liddel new one worth a spin then? Kinda went off him after Multiply, which was an awesome album IMO.

It’s definitely worth listen. It’s more ‘Princey’/ electronic / 80’s than Mulitply.

I’ve heard DJ Koze is going to be HUGEEEEEE

Two weeks, and you still haven’t turned the clutch on.

Because he’s spent the time polishing it.

Nice bike by the way, wheels are too flash for my simple taste but I’d imagine they’re easy to clean.

Agree the Jackets a a bit pricey but the Shorts and jerseys are priced well, they’re no more expensive than Lusso or DHb

I’ve got some smoke lites in the loft, the seminal cross country tyre circa 1993.

Skinwalls are back in fashion I might whack them on a bike and represent.

U all fanbois or is it not over priced run of the mill stuff anymore? Poor mans Rapha?

You’re right, Howies is rubbish. What do you suggest we all wear?

I have no experience of either but I’d get the Kona.

I’ve ridden my old explosif (V Brakes and rigid forks) at CyB. Penmachno and in Epping forest with no ill effects so the modern version should be much easier to get around on.

I’m not biased but I own 2 and I’d have the new explosif as well if I could.

I’ve got two, one on my thumb another on my ankle, they’re manmade though.

@ Barn have you bought/worn them or you just going by the description. I’m tempted but they’re either small/medium or large/xl. So they might not fit well on me.

Spamtastic

I like everything about it…

……..apart from the frame.

Don’t know about sizes, but have you tried BikeTart?

Or give Ibis a call in the States, they can be really helpful.

What about treating yourself to a Ti Bolt kit?

Or take it to your local hardwear shop

eyerideit, are you scared of things that are different?

Not me,

My wife thinks they’re silly

Personally I’d like a go on one, but don’t really see the attraction. Probably because I’ve not tried one. Hell, I didn’t have disc brakes until 3 years ago and now I can’t get enough of the buggers.

For touring they’d be a ‘nice’ way of getting around, bit like having a mobile armchair.

NOOOOOOOOO, My wife thinks they’re silly, you wouldn’t want her to think you’re sill would you?

What’s the appeal, apart from being more comfortable?

And back! that morning? 😯

I’ve not done it before but am quite keen to.

Pictures?

What type of dog, a wirehaired schnauzer?

how about Formula?

Looks like the offers gone and I was just about to buy one.

It’s been sat in my basket for the last 4 days with me wondering if I really need one.

Can you hire them from somewhere, to test?

I seriously doubt anybody in marketing could come up with that. That’s come from SRAMs Ad agency.

They’re obviously worth every penny of their retainer.

Use the force

The above suggestions are far more sensible and legal.

Why on earth would you want to do that, apart from the obvious?

Don’t even think Euro bikes have them wrong way round, like their brakes.

*watches for replies with a keen but casual interest*

Currently guiding my explosif in to a single speed turbo slave.

Valve logo alignment is a bit off.

Red bikes are faster.

Seats too far forward.

I’d split it. I would be interested in the brakes but I’ve got a cheap biking holiday coming up that’s turning out to be quite uncheap.

Sorry if that’s of no help, I’m sure someone will buy it, just hang in there.

eyeridit, OUTSIDE! NOW! If I’m not there, start without me.

RIGHT, You’re fookin’ on

❗ 😈 👿 ➡ ❓

when she’s in the Baby Bjorn in the rain!

Thought you’d be more of Stokke type of guy.

😉

That looks like a sticker to me as well. 😀

^^^^what scotroutes said^^^^

Keep it, stick it in your loft under a blanket or something.

You can’t be a pimp without your bling, as this guy:

How much post do u run out of frame currently?

About this much, sorry about the picture, it’s the only one I have to hand

I’m on a medium frame and only 5’9″ so should I go for a 380 or 420 post?

Where’s the best place for the remote, is buying a right then having it one the left under the bars the best place?

Liking the balace bike.

Can’t wait to see the boy bomb around on one in about, er 150 weeks time

As it happens I’ve got a pair of RC31’s lying around from the Sanderson I bought. I thought they were a bit too short for the bike and swapped them for my other RC31’s I had lying around.

They can come with or without V brake mounts.

Email in profile if you’re interested

Here’s a pic

Soma, what would that Ibis in that build come in at price wise?

Not that I’ve got any money, but I can dream.

On a more affordable level, I’ve been drooling over this for a while.

u gotta pinnit 2 winnit, innit?

😕

You had time for a teabreak mid ride, good going.

Eccles of Chorley cake?

I’m doing 22 at the moment and only burning about 780 max and that’s according to my garmin with HR and Cadence sensors.

I only average about 15.5 mph as it’s through central London and my average HR is about 165.

He’s be called now so should be along shorty to shed some light on this mystery.

I rode it on Panaracer Smoke Lites but that was in 1994.
