Thanks takisawa2 8)

pjt20: Ours was delivered by ParcelForce 48, despatched on the 28th and arrived yesterday.

Ours was delivered this evening, the box is huge.

I got 2 sets of pedals, and some other bits.

Not put it together yet, think that will have to wait for the weekend. looks nice though and it fits in the shed which is even better.

There weren’t any instructions though, can some post a pic of how the spring thing works/fits?

Can wait to ride the bugger.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me if both brakes are IS mounts please?

Just doing some brake window shopping.

Thanks

That’s a nice looking bike.

I’d go for B.

Once you’ve had black you never go back, innit?

@lunge Fair enough, none of my business really.

Is Harry Hall’s still there?

Already thinking the Deore brakes

I was thinking a pair of Merlins Formula RX for my hardtail then transplant the Juicy 7’s onto the Minute.

200mm + disk

😯 Really?

Report him, the sex pest.

Next time it could be a child’s face.

Got my despatch notice today, so mines on it’s way!

Is that something that would interest anyone else ?

I might be interested in some if they have all the clips to attach them and the price of course.

I’ve read the brakes are a bit poo when the bikes loaded, what’s the real-world opinion of them?

I delayed my delivery, but according to the guy I spoke to, mine was being built in and readied for delivery last Thursday.

Hope it’s still waiting for me.

Get one of these from xtracycle and you could get your other half on the back as well.

🙁

Not good

Condolences to the family of the rider.

RIP rider

Racing Snakes in reference to Caduceus which you could use as a symbol.

Paracycle express

I’ve just bought one as well.

I thought my first new bike would be a fancy pants carbon road bike but it’s this.

Very exciting and thanks for the PSA Woody.

Thanks Jef 8)

Point to note: Front mount seats mean you have to pedal with your knees stuck out. I found it unbearable. Hamax Siesta out back for me.

Suppose it’s got a got to do with the geo of the bike a long TT would help with the knee thing.

@Jef Wachowchow

Mrs Wachowchow uses it for the daily nursery commute and I take the boy up the woods on it at weekends.

How tall’s your Mrs, I was thinking about getting one for joint use as well? Mines 5′ 6″

Picton, the seat I’m looking at is the Yepp, I saw one in us on Sunday and it looked pretty good,

and an 18″ which would be right for me.

Matt black as well!

Can you fit a baby/child seat on the back of that?

Looks like the perfect baby hauling machine.

It’s got 26″ wheels and you run the risk of going over the bars as they don’t have the ‘rollerbility’* of that brilliant new wheel size that makes you gnar to the power 10.

EDIT seen the 650 version – phew – carry on

Isn’t the Stradivarius a road helmet?

Glad you’re alright, rather your protection getting messed up than you eh?

the words bike and rack came to mind.

Not sure why.

I have worked in bike shops over 25 years well actually all my working life and Saturdays while at school so trust me I know my thing one would say and can hold my own out on the trails

but you bio says

About Me Been in the bike industry 20 years now

I know time flies and that but make up your mind innit.

20, 25, all your life!

Someone’s prone to exaggerating.

Does anyone know which channel it was shown one?

I’d like to watch it, if I can.

I was a crossing marshal on Cromwell Road and seeing the first wave of riders go past was awesome followed by the next 16,000 riders.

It was a great event, just a shame it started so early as there was not much support on your ride out of London due to the time. My mate who rode said there was loads of supportin Surrey and the run in to the finish was amazing.

For the pros I stood on an island and flag marshalled, the peloton split right in front of me and went down both sides, the noise and blaze of colour was awesome. A really good memory shame I couldn’t take pictures. 😀

Well done to everyone who rode it, the riders I spoke were full of praise for the organisation which is great for a new event on this scale.

One thing I found a bit disappointing is that there were 3,500 no shows. So if you do give feedback we should ask for a late/last minute registration to fill the empty places.

Riding through empty streets in central London at 5.00am was a novelty.

The sites down due to legal stuff going on, but the have a Facebook page and that’s being used brilliant the sites issues are sorted.

As Jane said Bury road car park for an 11 (ish) depart.

flippinheckler, can you tell me what the cost your build was please?

My guess is £1400ish

I missed out on the Addicts that were on sale due to my dithering and am now considered a build your own option.

Miles are miles. Bit sneaky to hold back until the last minute with logging them. Ninth it is then and “must try harder” this month.

Wasn’t intentional.

I just spotted it the other day and thought I’d join. I’ve not been on for a while and saw Krytons Post and jumped in.

😳

Sorry no name was me, I thought it was all road miles including commutes.

Miles are miles aren’t they. What if I use my commute to do some training doesn’t that count?

Me and couple of others are doing it.

Coaches back start at 9am and will take 3.5hrs 😯 – bit slow if you ask me but faster than riding

I’m on my yellow Kapu so if you see me, feel free to say hello.

I’ve got a spare coach ticket if anyone’s interested.

email in profile

I’ve got Marshall training at Sandown so can’t make it, looking forward to the dynamo though.

Throw a bottle of piss at him.

😀

The incident has left you too shaken to cycle on the roads, civil action?

Not really, I’m riding everyday. I wouldn’t let some sh1tbag bus driver scare me off the roads or even lie about it.

The guy ended up breaking his shoulder, he was very good at extreme sports apparently.

Road bike – possibly.

Mountain bike – probably not.

Unless you don’t like your teeth or wear a full facer all the time.

The max I’d do is 5mm and make sure both bolts clamped properly.
