cheers ginja my internet isnt workin properly had to reload the first page a few times to see the briefcase pic samuri mentioned, very good one and worth the wait!

Some cool shots in here, stw doesnt disappoint, my humble offerings

i found road cleats a bit scary at the end of a ride and having to unclip at a logn wait at a roundabout but for a decent length of ride i reckon they're worth it, tried them a couple of time riding fixed which was interesting 🙂

arcteryx?

i like bike chain response-you will be talked about for months to come as the cool relation

you could just fire them dirty looks as if they are alien to you and thereby increase the sense of distance between you

whichever works best for you 😉

it beggars belief what some people think is acceptable 🙁

sack it! go jesse lalonde tall ass gearing-something like 36:16 and race an elite open field….ouch

first without my mums mum (funeral was monday) so ive been at my mums way more than in the past, drove up to see my dad christmas eve and managed to spend christmas morn with my lovely lady then drove back to mums. no arguments but one of my sisters is arriving today with bellend bf in tow, light touchpaper and stand well back…..

34:19 (cos its horizontal dropouts and thats the right length of chain) but anything around 32:18 to start will be fine

would the jones fit normal headtubes? interested but i dont have the cash (plus not sure how itd go on a G2 offset bike)

drop bar hydraulics, now they'd be ace on a cross bike

ahem, a gallery….

unless you know what you want its gonna be hard to point you anywhere. the artist that did radioheads covers sells stuff online, up and coming then you need to go to galleries where there are good art schools esp around end of academic year or head to art fairs eg battersea affordable art fair etc

tress is fine rigid, not tried inners but i imagine it'd also be fun

i don't have any baggy pantaloons, a red nose, and massive flipper shoes tho!

its fine, these can be purchased at any local charity shop – they're normally behind all the 6 inch AM full sus rigs that folk have parted with

Whilst everyone is entitled to buy whetever they want, that contraption looks like a pointless waste of nice materials to make something 'different' but in reality its nowhere near a decent HT with good forks and tyres, and no beardy weirdy can convince me otherwise.

anyone enlighten me?

ride one? i know someone who had similar thoughts until he rode one (ss stu's) and then i think it clicked. so much so hes now talking of buying a 29er. (hes a 26" wheeled stalwart)

where are you? im sure someone somewhere will be able to lend a bike for some beerage?

yeah im going to stir up as much as i can, MP is a good shout. Im president of the course committee so ive emailed the person i deal with at the student union and trying to sort a hardship fund or a core bursary but its just so disheartening.

not sure im entitled to access to learning fund but its worth a punt, cheers guys

just so demoralising, total lack of communication and ability to rectify mistakes

hopefully i can weather this storm, cant even get a job as course doesnt leave me enough time

thats the casa de campo in madrid at the end of the summer this year, last ride i had with eckinspain :'(

Probably because it hurts less than having it in the penis.

prob depends on the penis, with mine its just a little prick

ill get my coat

better upload some quick before the emperors new clothes wisecracks start…

dt 240 ss, luvverly

your right but doc not sure so prescribed anyway.

nice, thats sensible prescribing 🙁

Google is your friend, site is here[/url]

sheldon brown's site

always been very very happy when dealing with oakley

yeah they are expensive to start with *shrugs*

actually i might try and make new years resolution to get a ride in every week, i know samuri etc manage literally thousands of miles but i cant spare the time for such mileage and struggle to get out every week maybe a specific goal will help, cheers for the idea!

tbh aside from signing up to yahoo (which hasnt resulted in me being obliged to do/buy anything else) you shouldnt have to do anything else?

im just easily swayed 🙁

thats why im such a dedicated nichewhore 🙂

yeah but im happy to switch countries if need be

i can represent Spain (as can EckInSpain if he enters) as our other (better) halves are Spanish ladies if that helps 😀

Sit back relax its all under control a non european may well take the top spot !!!!!!!

a lot of brits dont see themselves as european either

onza-we were asking the same thing, doesnt say it doesnt cover accidental away from home which implies it does but if you find out can you add it here? ta

EDIT: cheers guys feel much better now about pissing out a third of a grand in the face of my student loan being snatched from under me just before Christmas.

ok done 😀 still hope no scroat gets my bike

call mick?

ace!

might check out esure then, m and s sound great but pricey-guess you pays your money…

actually Trio I think you're not too far away? I had emailed Good Hank (kate?) before i moved back to the UK, so if i manage to meet up for a pedal youll be able to have a shot

lol @ alec angus-dude dont be a hater

thanks for the comments guys, it does have a certain poise – just embarassed it has to wait so long for its first pedal with me onboard (although maybe thats a good thing)

im 5' 10 and its a medium frame Lionheart
