I would of gone for XT also, nice bit of kit for £900 is it Carbon?

There’s not a Mojo that’s not carbon.

*i’m probably going to regret that statement*

‘Fortunateson’ is indeed a fitting username.

You’ll have somewhere to keep the coursework now 😀

I done did it.

Which one?

SS in Epping is the way to go.

Everyone’s doing it.

bet he’s listening to this.

In 1992 it was a Peugeot job from halfords.

but in 1994 i got my first ‘proper’ bike 2nd hand.

It was a black Gary fisher, I’m not sure what model it was but it had a oversized head tube 1 1/4″ (funny how things come round).
Alpine star stem and bars
Selle flight saddle
Sugino cranks
8 speed XT mechs
Panaracer smoke lights
Spds
Pace RC 30 forks
Suntour thumbies
Shimano canti brakes (upgraded to STX RCs Vs)

Don’t think I have pictures of it :cry:.

More pane here

More asshats here

Great, thanks for the replies.

I’ve looked at the geo and it looks about right compared to what it will be replacing.

+ 1 for the Granit.

That combined with Pinheads on the wheels and stamping wax dripped into all the allen bolts makes my bike quite secure.

Liking the Eames lounger and footstool, is it a Vitra licensed version?

Bike’s nice too, post up a pic of it when it’s done so I can have a drool look.

I’m sure someone on here can lend you SL, my copies gone otherwise I’d lend you it.

It’ll cost you £20 quid from the app store.

Then ipod sync away 😀

How old / what model is your machine?

I’d love some parkin, you can’t get it the sarf.

Proper Jacket spuds made with a real fire.

Yesterday’s ride, a case of ‘now where’s the trail gone’.

Try one of these from here, they’ve worked a few times so might do the job for you as well.

Stanfree, where’s that it reminds me of Angels in Burnley?

I bought the windslam DHB one, it’s a close fitting number and won’t look out of place either on or off road. A bargain at £24 as well.

They must be because I used 2 out of the first 3 on my orders the other week.

On the back it says use within 2 weeks as well, looks like that’s just one of them marketing untroofz as well. As they’re all over 2 weeks old.

Well see if this one works as well.

Here’s a few, I not sure if they’ll still work but give them a go and see what happens

Just digital for me, I don’t like the clutter of loads of magazines around the house.

I bought the first ‘redesigned’ magazine but thought the printing was a bit poor, I thought it was pitched like “the ride” or “Privateer” quality but it was just a less glossy cover stock and horrible standard internal pages. If it was a nice piece of print I’d buy it. I download it and read/skim through it on my iPad, but really just subscribe it to support the forum.

I thought 32:17 was a magic ratio on those old steel Konas, so a halflink chain might get away without a tensioner.

I’ll have to borrow a 17 to try it.

hosepipe – mail me eyerideit AT yahoo DOT co DOT uk

Looks like we’re having another Kona lovefest 😀

steveoath: what forks are you running they look like RC31’s?

I’m on the hunt for some old suss forks as well so if you have any laying around that might fit give me shout.

Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets and Happy Mondays concert 1990 Gmex Manchester.

First outing today, I snapped the chain (I’ll get a 1/8th chain), the tensioner is rubbish so I need to find a better one.

I had complaints that the bars are too small of on the hunt for some wider ones. I also might experiment with fatter tyres for a bit more suspension, but when it get really muddy thin tyres are best aren’t they?

Ride wise, arms aere a little tired from the rigid fork, arse isn’t sore and legs don’t feel tired (it was only 17miles) so all in all a positive feeling about riding SS. 😀

Ipads are 100% tied into Apple and that doesn’t seem to offend the masses. At least the Fire HD is a Damn sight cheaper on the buy in.

Tied to Apple? I buy my music from 7Digital, eMusic, Amazon, directly from artist / record labels or from music magazines/blogs. It’s all then downloaded on to the ipad. As for films/tv there’s Lovefilm and Netflix and loads of streaming apps on the App Store to play virtually whatever media file you have. My wife buys her magazines through zineo and not the newsstand app. I download Singletrack through Bookman.

So the only thing we really are ‘tied’ in to Apple for is apps and software updates, much the same as Android/Crackberry/Amazon etc.

New desktop iMac might look nice, but can’t see any mention of an optical drive anywhere in the specification . . . easy to make stuff really thin if you forget to build stuff in.

Pah! optical drives, that’s old fashioned stuff that is. It’s all on the cloud now. Just throw away all your DVDs (rip them first though). Just imagine what you could do with all that space.

Saying that, there’s the MB Air drive that you can/have to buy. I’ve looked over the specs and I couldn’t see one.

TBH I’ve not used the drive on my MBP for ages (I don’t watch DVDs on it), they’re almost always digital copies.

Physical storage is a thing of the past, well almost.

EDIT: External Superdrive under other accessories an additional £65 if you don’t mind.

The iMac is stunning.

Looks like when my 17″ MBP is due for an upgrade I’m going 27″ iMac. 🙂

Mowgli – YGM, show me your wares.

Turns out my middle ring looks like a giant ninjas throwing star so I’ll need one of them as well.

Here’s the bike half built.

The P2s you got do they have disc tabs?

You still running discs?

old rear mech works as tensioner – better IME.

Thanks Al- I’ve got an RR mech that no one wants, so I’ll use that. Are you saying to run the chain through the mech as you would normally?

I’ve got most of original bike lying around the work stand (the wheels can be seen in the background).

P2’s – threaded
Kona Control Centre headset
Velocity stem + orig 50cm Ti bars (wide huh?)

Kato your build looks great, what forks are you running?

I was planning to bung discs on but finding a 42cm fork with disc mount that has straight struts is neigh impossible. (pace have some 42cm RC31s but they’re £200 8O). So I’ve opted for Magura HS33s as I know that’s not really ‘budget’ but it’s cheaper than the disc route.

Then the whole frame will be wrapped in old inner tubes to stop the Epping clay/mud eating the frame.

So after a week, Minnie (yes we named her) has gone. Mrs Eye’s friend has taken her to Cambridge where she’ll be living on a rather swanky Dutch barge.

She’ll be well looked after and we’ll see her every now and then.

Bye bye mini, I’ll miss you (won’t miss her climbing up my back when I’m wear a tshirt though). 😉
